Lieutenant JG Ollie Bergmen - Two nacells move the body, two wheels move the soul

A slight flick of his wrist was all it took to release the flow of gas. The engine roared to life, and his bike surged ahead like a bird taking flight, soaring briefly into the air before gravity pulled it back down, kicking up a cloud of dust from the impact. Ollie chuckled as he slid to a stop and checked if they were on the right path to meet Imril. He lifted the visor of his helmet and looked at the navigator on his wrist. They were already close, and as a small bonus, they were even on time.

He gestured for Bancroft the way, lowered his visor once more, and sped out after him. The forest trail he chose was perfect for the exact challenge he expected. Winding through the trees, overhangs turning into small jumps, the need to think carefully so as not to break in two, knowing that a single lapse in focus could send him crashing down. He enjoyed every moment until the final moments when they drove up the hill rising from the edge of the forest. Imril was already waiting there for them, so Ollie slid to a stop near and nodded them to welcome and took off his helmet.

Bergmen: So, how do you like it so far, doctor?

Bancroft: Response

Imril took their helmet too and reached for the bottle they had in the bike’s holder.

Imril: ::To The others:: Nice view.

Ollie smiled and unzipped his jumpsuit's collar to stretch his neck as he looked into the distance. Unlike Imril's simple, single-color impact jacket, his black, white, and red jumpsuit looked like a walking advertisement for the local SkyBF resort. One thing was certain: that vibrant outfit didn’t quite match the sleek white helmet with red metallic relief along its sides, hanging on the handlebars.

Bergmen: Yeah, what the view… It’s amazing here!

Bancroft: Response

Imril took a sip of the water and seemed elated. Yeah, it was a nice day; they were in beautiful nature, and driving the bikes? A perfect moment... Ollie understood. He felt the same.

Imril: How are the bikes working for you? Please tell me I don’t have to tune them up already. I really am trying not to do any work today.

Ollie chucked. Yeah, he was close in one moment, and to be true, he preferred the sky over land, but this was definitely fun.

Bergmen: To be true, it’s been quite a while since I drove anything landfasten off road, but I’m trying!

Bancroft: Response

Bergmen: And let’s agree we will not add any work here for the doctor. Or paperwork for me, ok?

Bancroft/Imril: Response

Ollie glanced at his wrist navigator, weighing all the possible trails they could take. And that they had quite a selection.

Bergmen: So what trail should we choose?

Bancroft/Imril: Response
