Cal and his ghost Petrie had dropped him off after repairing him and the ghost spent his time wondering the tower meeting everyone. After observing in the Hangar, he updated his shell’s look. He was now a dark green with tiny black rings spotting his wings. The first patron of the tower he had befriended was Amanda Holiday. “Hey there Zippy,” she called to the ghost. Zippy was the name given to the ghost by other engineers of the Tower as he would fly back and forth seeing everything fast as ever. “Hello, Amanda,” the ghost flew over to her workbench observing blue prints. “Wow, with all the sparrows and ships you build, it must feel amazing to fly and test them out.” “Oh, it is honey,” Amanda stood up from her bench, “there’s nothing more exciting about the wind flying past you, out there in the world, and the ships’ll take you even faster! The places you can see and explore. The Traveler’s Light guiding you on one big adventure.” Zippy flew up to a sparrow model, “I wish I could use one right now.” Amanda chuckled, “Well that hot rod is actually ready for a test run, or rather I say race, how about you accompany me off to the tracks and we give her a spin.” Zippy spun around so quick to look at Amanda, “You mean it,” his eye was glowing bright. “Absolutely, hop on in” With the ghost jumped into Amanda’s toolbox and they were off. Amanda hopped off a transport ship with Zippy following her, they were at an indoor racing track for sparrows, the place was huge. “What do they do here?” Zippy asked with awe. “Well you see, it takes real guts (that a lot of Guardians already have to dodge a Vex Hydra on a sparrow) but nothing prepares you for the sharp turns and big drops built on a certified SRL track. So here, guardians’ practice.” Amanda transmitted in the sparrow, it was jet black with green handles and taillights. From her toolbox she tinkered with the sparrow a bit, then tossed away a wrench and hopped on. “Come on, Zippy take a seat.” “But where?” “It’s alright, I know you ghosts usually “backpack” on your guardians, but I built you a seat,” she brandished a weird sconce like piece between the handles, “this little guy should keep you locked in, you’ll move with the sparrow.” “Amanda that’s amazing!” Zippy said as he settled himself in. “Okay, now get ready for a ride!” with that, Amanda was off. The sparrow burst into life, the engines roaring as it sped off in a straight line. Zippy was entranced. Amanda took her time racing the track. Leaning into every turn, boosting over jumps. Even the fake decoy Hydra’s were surprised to see Amanda pull on a handle and shift the sparrow 6 meters to the left right before they crashed. The wind rushing past Zippy made him feel more alive than before, he imagined the things his Guardian could do on a sparrow like this. Before he knew it, the test drive was over. “Well what’d ya think?” Amanda asked taking off her goggles. “It was amazing, Amanda, we went so fast,” he flew a few quick circles around her, “I wish I could do this every day,” he paused for a moment, “if only you were my Guardian.” Amanda put her hand to her chin, “I’m deeply flattered Zippy, but you gotta find YOUR guardian out there in the world, I’m sure there 2x as great as me.” “One day I will, I know it,” Zippy looked up towards the stadium’s skylight, the Traveler’s shell in view. “You know what Zippy, I’m gonna cut you a deal. I’m supposed to be selling this sparrow to some SRL hotshot, but I’ll give it to you for free on one condition.” “What is it?” “You find your guardian and bring them back to the tower,” Amanda picked her tools up, “you find a pilot for this sparrow and it’s all yours.” “That’s wonderful Amanda, absolutely, I’ll do it,” Zippy flew to the sparrow, but what will you call it?” “Oh, with a bit more polishing it’ll be worthy of its name,” you and your guardian will be the proud owners of [b]THE EXPERTISE[/b], cuz that’s what’s its gonna take to make it fly faster than quicksilver. With that Amanda and Zippy headed back to the Tower, and Zippy was more hopeful than before.
