âThis right here, my friend, this is the Cadillac of sparrows.â
âIsnât that Caydeâs design? And whatâs a Caddylack?â
âPre-Golden Age expression. It was a luxurious land-based personal transport type of some sortâjust like this baby. And yeah, itâs Caydeâs work. He left his ride to Guardian Bigshotââ
âOf course.â
ââbut Holliday was kind enough to share the schematics, and it just so happened I had the right drive system to build one.â
âBy âdrive systemâ do you mean that old rocket booster strapped to the back?â
âHey, show a little respect. Thatâs primo Cosmodrome salvage, that is. Canât get anything like that anymore without really pissing off Zavala, or resorting to certain unsavory channels.â
âBut it is an old booster rocket, no?â
âThe nozzle from one. High-end Golden Age metamaterials, extremely high-performance stuff meant for heavy-duty spacecraft. Pipe this overdraft engine through this sucker and FROOSH!â
âFroosh?â
âIâm tellinâ ya. Thing has kick.â
âDoesnât sound luxurious, really. Just dangerous.â
âMy friend, when youâre on the moveâor on the run... but nevermindâspeed is the greatest luxury. Nobody knew that better than Cayde.â
