Qi flitted around the ship like a hummingbird during the eight day voyage to the Wairara system. There was plenty to do: several systems aboard both the Yeager and the Glennis required extensive modification to protect them from the exotic radiation that they would be bathed in. The Glennis was a particularly troubling case, as even a brief outage in the middle of a race could sideline the crew (or worse).
The captain’s directive had been that their solution didn’t have to be pretty, it only had to work. He half-expected the thought to terrify him. Oddly enough, it only amplified the excitement that he felt. He loved learning the millions of rules that gave shape to a language, but they weren’t always necessary to communicate an idea. They would have decades to study the phenomena in this region. For now, they just needed to win the race.
As the Yeager approached his destination, Qi was surprised to see that a race was already in progress. He bit his lip as one of the contestant ships disappeared off sensors. The collision happened so quickly, he doubted that there had been time for an emergency transport.
“Looks like we’re getting a sneak peek at the competition. Good chance to copy their homework,” Qi mused, running some exploratory scans on the racing ships.

GM Input: Any sign of a transporter signal from the ship that disappeared into the comet?
Any notable special technology among the racing ships? Qi is particularly interested in modifications that protect against the local phenomena ==
