'Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen of Earth and all native
intelligences, of the forty planets satellites moons stars and
any other inhabited orbs. With contestants entered in the annual
Grande Trex the only inter-universal race. This year's event
promises excitement to surpass all previous races. As many of
you fans know already the route or track of the race orbits and
glides, has been increased by 5000 million kilometers thus
enabling Grande Trex to include the B'Arc 15 system.'
Dragonfly, dragonfly satellite strike and fight
Laser light, shot tonight
Target nullified gyro subdivide
Lattitude, longitude, satellite, solid substitute
Dragonfly, arc revise
What's a drag race?
Can't you see those dragons speeding up the street?
But I learned they weren't real
Figments of the ancient's fear
Rapid scan radiance for the chance to win the grande
Maneuvers pre program windage won't operate
Negative bearing swelL
Dragons fly they symbolize, in myth and saga breathing fire
Look up there's one flying higher!
Faster than the SSC
Is science hiding witchery?

'Grande Trex fans throughout the universe are well informed on
the risks the pilots take in entering this race. Re-entry into
some of the alien atmospheres is tricky business. Which can
cause a craft to implode explode melt lose atomic structure and
so forth, adding to the interstellar degree that on its own is a
terrific danger to the ships while en route. The surface craft
scheduled to launch at 070051 Greenwich mean time, Have
assembled on one of our very own stars (Neutron Einstar EV 9)
for this year's event. And the excitement is at a fever pitch as
the countdown approaches zero!'

Dragonfly rations glide in free fall slide systems nullify
Satellite dragonfly surface launch radio silence
Hover high level off
The time space tactics saved us then
Display report Present urgent
Sequence counting surface launch
Dragonfly destroying all
Science claiming newest findings
Chanting calling flying dragons
Aboard all systems optimum
Nova scheduled war continued
Half the continental shelf burned by interval

'We have retained as an added feature of daring thrills and
excitement of this race a feature, which I'm sure you're going
to like. The computer override lasting three and a half hours or
two gens when pilots and co-pilots manually control free-fall,
latitude, longitude, protract gravity, revise dimensional
equations, run program checks, submerge in the wild oceans of
Jonrin 22 and photograph as much territory and terrain as they
can. In addition to the requisite three thousand automatic
shots. The postulate for mischance runs high but not as high as
the tension and competitive spirit right here (on Earth) and all
over the (4) galaxies (represented in this Seventh Grande Trex).
Dragonfly dragonfly beacons aim space game. The countdown is 200
and I am turning you over to the control room at command
central. Sia Lan for the launch. Good luck to all the entrants
and especially to our own ship Dragonfly! Onward to victory!
Remember comdirect and radio silence will temporarily be in
