Your cruiser weaves through the molten minefield effortlessly at first–even without the TekNav’s aid, Obber manages to keep you far from the sizzling snares through sheer instinct alone!
But as you’re painfully aware, instinct can only get you so far… and your pursuers have plenty of targets to bullseye! All it takes is one overcompensated turn before your driver realizes his mistake, but before he can straighten the wheel out you feel the vehicle <span class="mu-i">SPLASH</span> through a gummy glob of goop!
“AAAAUUGH!”
Something sprays Obber through the windshield, and while it doesn’t kill him outright, it <span class="mu-i">does</span> cause him to lose hold of the wheel! Reaching over the writhing Gnok for the wheel, you do your best to correct your course… and suddenly <span class="mu-i">YOU’RE</span> the one driving!
“Hang in there!”
Scooping up your predecessor in her tail, Volka gets to work tending to his burns as you slip into his seat! Levers and buttons cover the surface just below the steering wheel, and that doesn’t even begin to describe the jungle of pedals at your feet!
That’s not what worries you though–as your boots brush across their many options, your foot comes across one pedal that remains depressed even without your aid! Prodding at it with your toe, you recoil immediately as it comes into contact with something hot and hissing!
“I… I think he’ll be fine!” Volka chirps as a sigh of relief creeps into her shaky voice! “Heyyy, I didn’t know you could drive one of these!”
You <span class="mu-i">CAN’T</span>, you groan, but you’re open to learn! Gripping the wheel in your trembling claws, you try your best to focus on the sound of the tipping buckets above to predict where more ooze will fall… but it’s only a temporary solution! You need to escape!
Easier said than done, however… The ride wasn’t smooth before, but after Obber’s incident you can <span class="mu-i">definitely</span> tell one of the wheels is half-melted!
To make matters worse, all you can do is flinch as your cruiser crashes through some kind of guard rail… and you get the feeling you’re not headed anywhere better!
Where do you end up?
>A forest of crashing pistons big enough to crush a Thunderwalker!
>A steam-choked cistern with narrow walkways!
>A maze of gargantuan grinders showering the path with sparks and debris!
>The Food Court!
