Kim Kitsuragi: "Well," the lieutenant says, frowning ever so slightly, "maybe don't just say every little thing in your head out loud. It confuses people."

You: (Shrug.) "A motor carriage. One of many."

Kim Kitsuragi: "Mhmh..." the lieutenant huffs. "No point in stopping then."

Kim Kitsuragi: "You mean the coil noise?"

You: "Just the basics. Cast-iron block, swirl-chamber-injection, dual-chains driving overhead camshafts, two valves per cylinder, hydraulic valve lash adjustment..."

Kim Kitsuragi: "Uh... yes, that's right." He stares at you in surprise. "I am very impressed that you know these things."

Electrochemistry: It's nice and all, but why so modest? Put some zing into it. Flare it up. Slam it down!
91
Visual Calculus: Helium headlights would improve the range and quality of the visual field a lot.
12->91
13
Kim Kitsuragi: "Believe me," the lieutenant replies -- sounding a little defensive -- "it's plenty enough. Kineema feels right at home on the raised motor tract. Hard to find something that could overtake it."
71
Encyclopedia: Harmel-Rioux 'Supersonique' -- a racing motorbike for the road -- could probably do it.

Interfacing: With its air-cooled, rear-mounted twelve cylinder compression ignition engine driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox, the Kineema is able to reach 100 kilometres per hour in 13.5 seconds. And go on to a top speed of 180 kilometres an hour.
15->169
146
Coupris Kineema: Even at a standstill the uni-body Coupris Kineema looks sleek and dynamic. The cabin is tilted frontward to give it a more aggressive *hunched* look.

Kim Kitsuragi: "Don't leave fingerprints on the bodywork, I just had it polished."
154
Empathy: Wow... he's not happy you called him a binoclard. He'll get over it.
18->154
19
Empathy: He seems to like the idea.
20
You: "It causes vibration in the wires and as the frequency of the current happens to fall within the audible range"
179
Kim Kitsuragi: "The resulting vibration creates the whining sound, that's right," the lieutenant finishes your sentence. "Very impressive."
20->179

Kim Kitsuragi: He stares at you, intrigued.

Encyclopedia: This is a Coupris Kineema, the Coupris MotorCorp's follow-up to their highly successful workhorse, Coupris 40, and the answer to the LUM's racing-bred 'Fevre' series.

Kim Kitsuragi: "No, that's... *porno*-tuning."
33
Half Light: USE BIGGER WORDS!!!
24->33
132
Conceptualization: The sole purpose of 'pornography' is to stimulate one's visual sense to evoke sexual arousal -- the same is true with the modifications you're proposing.
25->132
26
You: "Sounds like a hassle, but good luck."
189
Kim Kitsuragi: "Thanks." The lieutenant smiles. "Are we done here?"

48
You: "No." (Nod sadly.) "I wish I did."
27->48
28
Kim Kitsuragi: "Oh..." The lieutenant rubs the back of his head. "Yes, let's definitely *think* about it."
121
Drama: He is not enthused about the idea.
28->121
29
Kim Kitsuragi: "Binoclard... binoclard..." he repeats to himself, eyes fixed on the ground.
98
Empathy: Whatever high-school bullying memories you woke in your colleague, he doesn't enjoy them.
29->98
30
You: Won't it roll over in the first sharp corner?
170
Interfacing: The high centre of balance is offset by a large battery bank mounted at the bottom of the cabin, feeding all the auxiliary systems and making the Kineema effectively a mobile power plant.
30->170
31
Interfacing: The afternoon sun shimmers off the white-on-blue police livery of the motor carriage.

You: "... the wires go *bweeeeeeeeee* and then *neeeeeeeow*?" (Loudly imitate the sounds.)

Kim Kitsuragi: "Basically, yes -- although it's mostly about frequency range, not the wires making *bwee-*sounds. Still -- I'm impressed."

You: "Ever thought about switching to helium headlights?"

You: "You need to *slam* it, Kim. Make it more imposing."

Rhetoric: Poor choice of words. Lieutenant Kitsuragi obviously doesn't want to be a *binoclard*.
