John was sitting at one of the many CNS access monitors in one of Manhattan's bars. Bored to death, his eyelids at half-staff, he scrolled through the news, trying to get a worthy story to write about out of the plethora of happenings in Sirius.
Just before falling asleep while browsing, he noticed something. He went back, selected the news topic and read through it.
"A race? Now, that should be interesting! And my Arrow should still be in good shape... at least for some races. Those buggers at the editorial staff will better pay me the expenses this time!"

Background History:
Greetings,
well, I started working for the Colonial News Service one and a half year ago, as I found myself depleted of any finances after some gambling on Gran Canaria. As a born Zoner, they took me in with open arms, considering my neutrality might help me out with the job.
During my time as a reporter, I saw quite a part of Sirius, nearly lost my life about a dozen times and learned to get away fast when needed.
I'd like to report for CNS what's happening during these races and, as a journalist is not that wealthy, try to win at least some races.
