Dragonfly

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-galactic race. This year's event promises excitement to surpass all previous races. As many of you fans already know the route or track of the orbits, glides, etc. has been increased by 5,000 million kilometers thus enabling Grande Trex to include the be 'Arc System, in our present event and for all succeeding GT races. Dragonfly Dragonfly Satellite Strike and fight Laser light shot tonight Target nullified Gyro subdivide Latitude longitude Satellite Solid substitute 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 fear Rapid scan radians For the chance To win the Grande Maneuvers preprogramme 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 SCC Is science hiding witchery? Grande Trex fans throughout the universe are well informed on the risks pilots take in entering this race, i.e. re-entry into some of the alien atmospheres is tricky business which can cause a craft to implode, explode, melt, lose automatic structure, etc., while en route. The craft are scheduled to surface launch 0700.5100 Greenwich time and are assembled on one of our very own stars, Neutron Einstar EV 9. The excitement is at a fevered pitch as the countdown approaches zero. These hypersonic inertial transition ships can calculate the negligible quantity of spherical differential for tight orbit, are sonar-radar balanced and translate windage occurrence, offset verniers, retrieve, execute prepare, delay code and report astrogational error in a micro-second. Naturally these specialized craft are equipped with apparatus capable of highly sensitive maneuverability. They can dive, sweep, run random parallel paths, alternate axes, circumnavigate for rapid survey, spin, count milibaricly while simultaneously displaying an accurate diagram grid for safety measures, not to mention the quanta limitation fixtures for sea level, ground level, level off, and hover bearings. We have retained as an added feature to stimulate more thrills, the computer over-ride for a three and one half hours to two gens during which pilots and co-pilots manually control free-fall, latitude, longitude, protact gravity, revise dimensional equations, run programme checks, submerge in the wild oceans of Jonrin 22, to photograph as much territory 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.
