Fuel costs money. So when Nambu, or the International Science Organization, sends the team out on business, Jun keeps track of distance and time for all five. Jun suspects, but she won't complain, that Nambu sends them out to catalogue and map because he wants them to know the majesty and grandeur of nature. For the most part, it works. Savannahs and wetlands, deserts and marshes, jungles and forest are where she finds herself most connected to -- she's not exactly sure to what. If she were good at words she might tell herself she feels special.

The treads of her tires chew through mood and kick up rocks. She leaves a clear trail. Astride her motorcycle, sights and memories melt into each another. If she lets her mind drift, it can be hard to distinguish where she is from where she's been. Given the liberty, she'll ride so fast even her sense of smell can be confounded. The exhaust generated by her bike will whip away farther than she can sense; speeding as she is within corridors of naked light.
