Aurelio glared at Sayuri.
"Do you think I'm kidding? Ever since my newfound technopathy, I've been hearing weird voices in my head! I think that machines are talking to me!"

Sayuri looked at him strangely. "Are you a scitz or something?" Then she decided to backtrack. "You think machines are talking to you?"

"It makes sense, doesn't it? I mean, if I'm controlling them psychically, it would seem possible that those with capabilities of quasi-thought would be able to talk to me!"

Sayuri just looked at him, then cocked her head at an angle. "It's possible. Are you going to be okay? I mean... it's not completely driving you up the wall is it?"

Aurelio shook his head.
"Not unless I'm only around machines for about three days with no human contact."

Sayuri sighed. "Well, that's good... at least for now anyways."

"Were it not for my fear of bullets, I'd ask to be a field agent instead."

Sayuri laughed. "i don't know. That's pretty sane fear to me."

"We going or not? And I'll activate him once we get to the mansion." Travis said.

Eventually Kate collected herself and made her way to the Humvee. "Yeah, yeah," she replied, "we're going. To where, though? And why aren't any of you wearing safety belts? In this vehicle, it's not just your precaution against death - it's my precaution against legal suits."
The engine revved, and for a moment, Kate hummed with it, in a state of pure bliss as the vehicle vibrated. The powerful engine could be felt from inside the vehicle, through one's feet on the floorboard.
The seats were black leather, and the dash was only a slightly lighter shade of black. The ceiling was painted the same red as on the outside, and the wheels each had one red stripe going across them in a single direction. The hubcaps were black as well.
"Where to?" Kate repeated, adding, "Is everybody ready?"

(Kate seems to be dealing with this well.)
Aurelio got in.
(I just got a fake admin message. I reported it.)

((Certainly.))
"Maggot frost," Kate murmured under her breath. They were low on fuel. "Hang on," she told those passengers who were trusting her with their lives. "I need gas and this will be bumpy."
The Humvee immediately rocketed off, roaring like a dragon after a thousand years of no food. They immediately jumped a curve, then Kate guided the vehicle onto the feeder lane for the highway.
There were quite a few cars in front of them. Kate just drove up onto the grass, and hopped right onto the highway, ignoring the on-ramp that she passed in a few seconds.
Kate then swerved left and right with expert driving skills, until they had passed about three hundred cars and were then driving off the highway, not by grassy median, but by deserted off-ramp.
The Humvee spun three hundred and sixty degrees, twice, before skidding to a halt handily right next to a gas pump.
Kate hummed as she got out and began refilling the tank with gasoline. Unlike her passengers, her heart rate was the same as when she had entered the car.

Travis was gripping tightly to his seat, "A-are you crazy!?"

"Good Lord, woman! Are you trying to kill us?"
Aurelio felt carsick.
"Does anyone have a baggie or something?"
