Kit smiles to Toasty. "Oh.. just showing Mizuki the scout bikes. I think you know about them..." She giggles and heads over to the where the Mark 5b Scout Bikes were parked.
On her way she started to mouth something, her ears twitching. She then grinned, and cocked her head, her eyes closed in focus as she thought hard. she then blushed
"Oh sorry. Totally got distracted. 'So many noises. Can;t you hear the rats? "
She points to one that just had poked its head out. She then grins and starts to head for the scout bikes.
"OH... Mizuki, do you know about the bikes?" she asks, as she went over in her head about them, ready to tell mizuki if she didn't know, as well as telling anyone within earshot if she didn't say she knew.
These modern marvels had dual engines. A very quiet electrical one for sneaking in, and a powerful turbo booster engine for escaping some danger. The electrical motor was quiet, but lacked the oompf of the other one. They were also light, and due to that, they had bare bone comforts. The seat did hurt your butt, but the bike was still great. They were unarmed, but then that was not their purpose. The model mark 5c had a built in radar and other detectors, but the model 5b was more the utilitarian model. The tires were wide to allow it to grip and were special. They were self sealing, very tough and also had a variable thread geometry , able to adjust to a special no track setting as well as settings for ultra gripping. It wasn't quite true they could climb a wall, but steep hills were no problems. They were manual transmission, so that took some getting used to, but to a trained rider, it made it all the better. There was a single luggage compartment, enough for a scout on the move. The mark 5e was more electronics based, and the mark 5 f was a long patrol version, built more for endurance. There were only a few of the bikes, as they did cost alot, and even though they were low maintenance, when something did go wrong, usually took a long time to fix.
