The race is on!

Jacks eyes opened wider than physically possible, he froze, then
fell... He hit the floor behind the stool, and blacked out.
Several seconds later, thanks to the red tripple bull, he woke up,
and asked
again.
"what is alcohol?" came the reply from the barkeep again...
Keats in the Endymion flew circles around their gangway. He had a
new ship and was determined to show it off.
The much larger Raven hovered above, and descended onto a floating
landingpad nearby, he was taking a few crewmembers on exploratory
sight seeing tours of the city, until an Aeron police hovercraft
gave him a parking ticket, then the same police craft raced after
the speeding Keats.
After this point, each pilot walked aroun looking at the different
crafts available and picked out a favourite craft amongst all the
ships in view.

Who: Whoever i feel like writing about at the time
Where: Aeron Hanger

The other pilots were busy poking around ships, Dean found one with
an incredibly large weapon on it and was making cooing noises. Only
Keats stood near the Air force commander..
'These are some very nice ships you got here....'
The Aeron commander beamed at the humans sign of please.
'Well, we have had several millenia to perfect it, whilst i see your
races has only been airborne for 2 centurys, and space worthy for
half that, still, you have some impressive .. toys....'
Keats scowled, but quickly turned it into a chuckle...
'Welll... earlier i had a little... accident wnear your city and...
wel.. my ship was impounded...'
The Aeron Air commanders face turned from false cheer to real pissed.
'You were speeding apparantly...'
'ummmmm'
'And it says here you shot down 15 weather balloons'
'I thought they were attacking me'
'An advertisement blimp'
'It was coming right at me!'
'And er.... you shot up a frigate full of TRB, causing about half a
million gallons of the stuff to fall casually onto the planets watery
surface and alost drown a school outing. The kids are in the process
of being stomach pumped at the moment to try to reduce there blood
sugar level!'
'Well... i can explain that you see... ermm... well, heres how it
went... ohh..'
'Your lucky you have diplomatic imunity, otherwise it would be life
imprisenment for you...'
Keats ruffled his brow, he had to think around this...
'Anyway, moving onto another subject, your and old proud race
correct?'
'Yes....'
'You have here easily the fastest ships in the known universe...'
'We like to think so'
'Race ya!'
'Ok... What?!'
'I said id race you, winner claims ownership of The Endymion, the
other is forced to run naked through the shopping district during
rush hour!'
The Aeron commander stared at Keats, than began to laugh.
'Boy, i hope your not modest!'
