The caution flag is out, the track lights are flashing a steady amber at 120fps, and the field has slowed to a "Substantial" crawl. You pull your Gold Master 95 alongside Cal Weathers, your neutral-olive skin catching the glow of the stadium as you roll down your window.

"Hey Cal! Your blinker's on!" you shout at High-Volume over the low rumble of the engines.

Cal’s Source Code immediately hits a Critical Error. He flinches, his eyes darting frantically to his dashboard as he tries to find a signal that shouldn't even exist on a Piston Cup racer.

"What? No, it’s not!" he barks back, but the "System Glitch" in his concentration is already complete.

You let out a laugh, your blue hair messy as you pull ahead. "Good comeback, Cal!" you tease, leaving him to reset his "Legacy" focus while you prepare to "Architect" the restart.
