So, who all here is into racing?

[simple, direct, to the point. she's smiling as she says it, though. It's about equal parts mischievous and competitive.]

Oh! And for anyone working on or interested in Mr. Kent's newspaper, I'm going to be writing a section on automotives. If anyone has any information on any of the vehicles or mechanics here, I'd love to talk shop. Thanks.

[She gives the camera a little wave, and disconnects.]

Well... right now they have a focus on aerial combat. But I'm hoping that'll change in the future.

Sounds handy, though.

[battle planes dropping jars of black tears, moving too fast to be stopped by projectile or flying axe-wielder ... it's an appealing thought.]

What would you want it to change to?

[video]

[stickshift]

I'm... honestly not sure yet. Something good.

[Like bringing relief supplies to villages that are cut off or isolated somehow, maybe...]

[thatimaysleep]

I'm sure if you can build it yourself, you can make it do whatever you want.

[ew, doing good things. but she doesn't want to really antagonize asami, so ophelia keeps that opinion to herself.]

[She's touched, Ophelia. No, really, she genuinely would be if she knew.]

That's true. I want to do something with my father's legacy that... can put a bit of a positive spin on some of the things he did.

[He didn't start out as a bad man, he just... became one.]

[video]

[thatimaysleep]

Why try to fix his legacy? He made his mistakes, did what he did. People aren't going to remember you trying to fix it. Make your own. Surpass him and leave him in the past while you take the world by storm.

[in either a good or bad way. ophelia knows what it's like to fall, and what it's like to be saddled with someone else's mistakes. to be someone else's mistake.]

[stickshift]

Mm, it's-- more than that.

[Her expression is solemn, her eyes flicker downwards.]

I still... believe in what my father did for Republic City. He wasn't always the way he is now, and that... I think what he built is still worth honouring. I want to show the world that sometimes good things can still come from-- [her brow furrows] evil actions. But I'm not going to live in his shadow, either. I'm going to put everything I have into Future Industries, as soon as I'm home again.
