Platinum Sky II - Chapter 1: Reboot - Episode 3

While (Captain) and company are still resting, Catherine joins them in the pit area. It turns out she will be entering the race as well, and is particularly curious about the ancient ruins linked to the course's decade-long shutdown.

Vyrn: What the... Another ship's headed this way. Think they're contestants too?

Meteon: Mm-hm. Only those who'll be in the race get to do practice runs.

A third speedship enters the pit area.

Its pilot gets out to greet the crew.

???: Hello, (Captain).

Lyria: Cather—

Catherine gently puts a finger over Lyria's lips before continuing.

Cathy: I'll be entering as Cathy. I'd rather not have my phantom thief... I mean, my real name used around here.

Lyria: Oh, okay... Sorry.

Cathy: Aw, how adorable. There's no need to apologize though. If anything, I should be the one saying sorry.

Vyrn: What a surprise. You'll be joining tomorrow's race too?

Cathy: That's right. I'm glad to bump into someone I know here.

Lyria: Yay! We feel the same way!

Cathy: Haha, go easy on me, okay?

Cathy: Oh my... Is that the PSC champion you have with you? I'm Cathy. Nice to meet you.

Meteon: Likewise.

Cathy: What a lucky gal I am to meet a true pro here.

Meteon: When it comes to this island's course, I'm just as much of a beginner as anyone else.

Cathy: Right... It must've been ten or so years that the island was closed off.

Cathy: But as one of the racing elite, surely you must know something about it?

Cathy: Maybe from when you came to watch the races as a child?

Meteon: Sorry to say that this is my first time on the island.

Cathy: Ah, I see.

Vyrn: Didn't that all start because of some valuable ruins they found here?

Lyria: Yeah, Siero mentioned that the average person wasn't allowed on the island because of the focus on digging up and researching the ruins.

Meteon: I don't know the whole story myself, but I did hear that the layer of earth they're digging through is tens of thousands of years old.

Cathy: Wow, that sounds like a huge find.

Cathy: Is it really okay for us to be dabbling in skyracing when something so major is happening?

Meteon: It shouldn't be a problem. Because even for the limited duration that the authorities keep the island open, the ruins will continue to be off-limits.

Meteon: Not to mention the racecourse stretches from the eastern part of the island to the south, while the ruins are more toward the center and north.

Cathy: Oho.

Lyria: Hm? Is something wrong?

Cathy: I was just thinking that we don't have to worry about going out of bounds and accidentally landing in the ruins.

Vyrn: Ahaha! So we can focus on the flying without having to worry about some big shot calling us out on that!

Meteon: Exactly. We just have to keep our minds on tomorrow's race and away from those ancient ruins.

Meteon: There's a limit to how much time we have for practice runs, so we'd better get moving.
