Video - Games Car

[Despite the fact that the flight simulator has been done for a while, Yondu's finally making mention of it on the ICP so people know about it. He's in the Game car right now.]

Alright, so. I got y'all a flight simulator. It's modeled after the ones the Nova Corp use, which probably means nothin' to most but they got a pretty big fleet and they're made to train for a lotta kinds of ships. Now, in the chance we got a mission comin' up where we'll need to be able to fly craft? We got somethin' to get a step ahead.

Console switches out to match craft usin' some matter tech from my universe. Has a holographic menu to change settings on. [He almost mentions that even some of the stupider members of his crew could figure out how to use the settings so don't worry about it being confusing? But he oughtn't speak ill of the dumbass dead.] There's a bunch of settings to try her out in and Della an' Hera have also offered to help with instruction since it's a trainin' tool. I mentioned to a few people that Quill was ten when I started learnin' him to fly and I think most of y'all are at the very least spiritually older than that.

[Considering what Ghost complained about earlier, he has to add that little bit in there.]

The simulator's attached to a battery. Battery can be removed an' taken on a mission, it holds 72 hours of power so could help us out in a pinch with electrical equipment. If you want any unique craft from your world and it don't got settings for somethin' similar, just order it from the train.

[The problem being that Yondu was not a very good father, though it wasn't for a lack of wanting. There were circumstances that complicated things.]

I could dig it out and show ya whenever you weren't up to anything.

I uh... It was covered in forests. An' the people were kinda folksy. But I left when I was a baby so I didn't get to experience a whole lot of it. Just got some strong visuals and a few songs what I remember. I was raised as a battle slave and went to a buncha places.

[He's quick to add that sentence 'cause he's not cagey about his history as a slave. It's on his face. It's on his wanted posters in the Kree Empire. People knew. But there's a gap between 'being a Centaurian' and 'how a kid became a slave' that he doesn't want to discuss.]

[ If Yondu ever wanted to talk about his relationship with his son, Curufin would listen eagerly and with great sympathy. He knew very well that father-son relationships could be vastly complicated by circumstances. He knew this from experience. ]

I can make myself available whenever you're up for heading to the cinima.

A forest-covered world with folksy people. Sounds a bit like Middle-earth, actually. [ Smile. ]. But it's good if you have some vivid memories of that place. And of the songs? -- awesome! [ Music lover, here! ] Not so good that you were raised as a battle slave. Nobody should be a slave. But at least you got to travel.

[ Again, if Yondu ever wants someone to tell about the difficult parts of his past, Curufin is available. ]
