<strong>Destiny Points:</strong><br/>Light Side: 2 Dark Side: 0<br/><hr/><br/>Tong shot ahead to an early lead, her guns raking across the immobile turrets, taking out two of them as she bobbed and weaved through the asteroids. Sadie followed close behind, angling her deflector shields forward in anticipation of later laps. She attempted to take out the last turret, but missed. The stray shots did break up some of the asteroids ahead, though clearing the way.<br/><br/><br/>As they weaved and dodged through the asteroids, Tong aggressively defended her lead. Sadie attempted to overtake, but in the process overshot and missed one of the blue checkpoints. "Ah, kriff!" she cursed over the comms, looping back for another approach. "Well, if nothing else, it gives me a crack at this target again. Maybe I<em>will</em>try it your way, Kader," she said.<br/><br/>Lyra continued to forge ahead, taking out one of the turrets as she passed, though it forced her to make a sharp last minute turn, straining her ship's systems. Nevertheless, she blew past the industrial fixtures with ease, and looped down into the trench. Sadie, meanwhile fired on the last remaining target, shredding it, and then kept firing, clearing out the asteroids ahead. "Then again, maybe I'll just make my own path," she crowed. In fact, she had a fantastic line going into the shipyard leg, making only the minutest of adjustments, in moments she was bearing down on Kader's tail, possibly even ready to pull up alongside him!<br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sadie spends her triumph on initiative to angle her deflector shields double front.

For the purposes of this exercise, each "hit" destroys one turret, so she gets 2 kills and scores 4 points.<br/><br/>Sadie also accelerates to speed 3, then fires, but misses, netting 1 advantage.

What ensues is a game of chicken. Kader must roll a <strong>Cool Check vs 3 Red Dice</strong> (ie, Sadie's Cool). If Kader wins the cool check, he maintains his position ahead of Sadie, and proves he's got nerves of steel! If he fails, he chickens out, and Sadie slips ahead of him.<br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Score</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/><strong>Current position:</strong><br/><br/>Lyra - 1st (leg 3)<br/>Kader - 2nd (leg 2 or 3 depending on check)<br/>Sadie - 2nd (leg 2 or 3 depending on check<br/><br/><strong>Points:</strong><br/>Lyra - 6 points<br/>Sadie - 2 points<br/>Kader - 0 points<br/><br/></div></div>
