Build note: Do not transmit until you get confirmation of the race results. Until then, the following is pre-approved on infrastructural clearance, which means if you move so much as a semi-colon I will expect your proposed revision to be accompanied by a full structural analysis. Flagged in triplicate, by hand.

Begin transmission:

A heritage of excellence. A focus on family. And the drive to push their sand-crawling arthropod faster than anyone on the track.

These are the defining traits of Solomon Purple, the new champion of the Subita Speed Way, who claimed the title in a dramatic upset over local favorite Zinc Garland. You wouldn't know it from the results, but the qualifying heat last week was Purple's first time participating in the arthropod circuit.

Purple attributed their speedy ascent to the top of the podium to the support of their family.

"Yeah, it's not just me out there racing, right?" Purple says. "It's me, right, and it's my lobster - her name's Sand Basket - like, obviously it's her too. But it's also my sister Inishmaan, who pushed me to get out here in the first place and helped cover for me while I took some time away from the family business. It's my Ell Tee - that's how I say lieutenant now, right, it's faster and I'm always trying to be faster - Partial picking up the slack with my crew. I couldn't have done it without any of them."

Purple hopes their unprecedented victory helps the people of The Vast see their family in a new light and consider reaching out to ask how the Purples can work with their local community; while the clan traces its lineage all the way back to the first sky ship engineers and explorers, it's an open secret that Protectorate Affairs is investigating the group on suspicions of inter-landberg smuggling and racketeering.

"They just need somebody to point the finger at for all their own corruption and oversights," Purple explains. "It's unfortunate, but like, I can't even be that mad at them, you know? The PAs don't have what we've got - family - and they never will, and they're jealous about it. I get it. Still, I gotta draw a line when they're out there giving my fiances a hard time. Sand Basket and me are ready to talk like adults when they are."

When reached for comment, a Protectorate Affairs representative declined to comment on any details of the rumored investigation into the Purples Family or Solomon Purple's fiances. Seemingly unfounded rumors aside, Purple has another race to win next week. They have no plans of stepping aside now that they've reached the top.

Transmission log

Dime station: Circle white, OK Dime buoy: Circle white, OK Rose buoy: Circle white, OK Flotilla station: Circle blue, transcript requested under AE-LE authority. Flagged as relevant to AE-PA investigation. Request granted by DE Hass with grantor addendum: Don't have time to fight them on this. Seems innocuous anyway. Message received at circle blue.

Sender: Aikido Morgen Recipient: Airborne Outfitters junior technician Guten Morgen Subject: Catching up

Sorry it's been so long. The PAs had the whole landberg locked down for about a week. The semaphore station is still "official business only", but since this is headed to the Flotilla I'm hoping it will be close enough to count.

You'll never guess who I ran into at the counting house just before everything went down. OK, considering the circumstances, maybe you would guess. But I shouldn't go into it right now. In any case, it's good to see old friends still doing well and still making questionable choices.

Do you remember mom? The older I get, the less I can remember what her face looked like. Did she even have a face? Last week I asked one of the older pickers - remember Nettie, ve was part of the gang when we were still at it - how mom's doing. Ve just rolled vis eyes. I think… maybe we're supposed to forget?

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I'm still saving up my credits for the down payment. Don't try to talk me into spending them on myself, the garage is my dream now too. With all those engine chops you're picking up from working on fancy Fleet skyships, and with my boundless charisma and business sense, we can't lose. Just gotta keep at it until you muster out. Fore's gonna be pissed when I quit, of course, but she's always pissed at something.

Shit, this went on too long. Guess I'm gonna spend some of that down payment money on flagging fees anyway. I hope this finds you well, and your next shore leave doesn't get delayed again. I love you.

Your patient husband, Aikido

P.S. Frickin' husband! That is still so cool to write.
