He could slow it down to take in the scenery but the view is spectacular even when seen as a blur. The spectrum of colors and shapes, fused together, produce a kaleidoscope effect at high speed.

Tom casually turns and finds himself face to face with a gorgeous young female. ‘I love a Mazuban with manners,’ she comments, smiling at him. ‘I hope your Mazuban isn’t too well mannered,’ he replies, regaining his senses. She frowns. ‘I did mean you, but…maybe I was wrong.’ ‘No, no, you were right,’ Macca interjects, ignoring Tom’s warning glare. ‘He’s just teasing, aren’t you, mate?’ Tom, not answering, stands aside so the woman can give her token to Macca.
