“Things are not looking good for Serge,” Duncan’s dulcet tones resounded. “I’ll be honest, I was a bit worried to see Antonin advanced like that, but he’s picking Serge apart. I’m not sure if it’s just the unfamiliar machine that’s throwing him, or if there’s some technical problem the bookies aren’t letting us in on, but that Axman is in trouble and Antonin knows it.”

“Still, he’s got to be careful, it looks as though Colonel Alvarez and Ken Hachiman are about to swoop down to Serge’s rescue; and a between the three of them they’ve got the armor and firepower to soundly beat Ngoc and Antonin in a stand-up brawl. I’ve got to hand it to these pilots, this really is a spectacular match; it’s rare to see three competitors so evenly skilled—and I’ve just received word from the bookies, the gimmick bets are now closed! Please give a big hand to Apple Computers Interstellar for the loan of their new iBet system. Apple Computers Interstellar, where their traditional motto is: We own a planet now, beat that IBM!”
