Summary
For a human, missing in such a way from a thousand meters’ distance may not have been a concern. Their shots may have even been considered consistent. Human eyes, however, were fallible, just like the rest of them. Not like Krupp’s ocular units.
Not like his ocular units should have been.

Listen to the Radio Sing by StarlitPuppy58

Summary
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and that rings especially true when the yard’s brake-and-radio van is the picture of innocence. As the world seems to crash and burn, with more and more accidents piling up left and right, who would think to blame the string of bad luck on the ever-smiling Red Caboose? After all, he’s the friendliest guy in the yard, always there to lend a hand and help the rolling stock when they’re in need. Whether you need a shoulder to cry on, a racing buddy, or simply someone to keep you company while you trudge through the monotony of railyard life, the cheerful truck will be there with a quip, some comfort, or a little tune to lift your spirits. And who can resist listening to the radio sing?

Summary
“Whose…?” He asked, glancing down at her abdomen, which was still largely unchanged. She supposed he was doing mental calculations. He and the rest of the components had been away, gone on a tour of Australia and Japan for the better part of three months for a series of races. She knew he wouldn’t begrudge her a tryst, he and the others would have certainly had their fun while they were away.
But there hadn't been anyone.

Summary
Starlight Hills was a town that never seemed to change. It was a small cluster of buildings tucked away between fields and freeways; A simple place that never tried to be more than what it was. It was surrounded by winding roads, open fields, and had sparse law enforcement that were willing to turn a blind eye in exchange for a few dollars. All in all, it was the perfect place for a race.

Summary
“Porter's got…history here,” Lumber said. “You'll have to ask him, if he hasn't told you.” Porter was Electra's…well, Lumber wasn't sure what to call what went on between Porter and the electric engine. Partner or even boyfriend seemed too serious, hook-up too casual. They were something, and Porter seemed happy with whatever it was. Or alright with it, at least. His brother was less forthcoming with Lumber about whatever he had going on with Electra than he was about most things. But Electra didn't seem to be doing him any harm, so ultimately he didn't need to know; it wasn't his place to judge whose bed Porter was in or why. Just like it wasn't his place to divulge what he knew, if Porter hadn't told Electra about his past.
