Here we are, Screamers.
It’s time to uncover the truth about the third team entering the tournament. They’re scientists, astronauts, and some would even say, visionaries.
They are the Jupiter Stormers.
Born from the private aerospace megacorporation Jupiter Stormers Industries, the team is led by Aisha Waghmare, a brilliant scientist who quickly rose through the ranks. She accepted an invitation from Gage, the tournament’s mechanic and her former colleague, to enter the competition. But is this merely a happy reunion, or is there more to their motivations than either cares to admit?
At Aisha’s side: Lavinia Ricci Antinori and Gregor Falkenstein. Together, they hope to discover what Gage has really been up to since leaving Jupiter Stormers Industries, and to prove that their company is the leader in all fields, no matter the discipline.
We managed to sneak a peek into their private group chat.
Unclassified. Unfiltered. Uncensored.
Read the words that Jupiter Stormers Industries’ legal team never approved.

[8:40 PM]
Lavinia: mysterious
[8:40 PM]
Lavinia: Gaaaaaaaaaaaage…
[8:40 PM]
Lavinia: (The above was supposed to be said in a spooky voice, like a ghost or haunted house employee. Did that come across? (Would this have been more helpful BEFORE the previous text???))
[8:41 PM]
Lavinia: But more important than meeting Gage, I’m finally going to meet…
[8:41 PM]
Lavinia: FERMI!!!!!!!!!
[8:41 PM]
Lavinia: (No offense to your friend, Aisha, but dogs are automatically the most important part of any introduction (that’s just a fact).)
[8:41 PM]
Lavinia: But once I’ve finished giving Fermi 1000 pets, I’m going to have SO many questions for Gage.
[8:41 PM]
Lavinia: Like:
[8:41 PM]
Lavinia: “Why did you quit Jupiter Stormers Industries?”
[8:42 PM]
Lavinia: “Why did you not even say goodbye to your colleague and best friend, Aisha, before taking off??”
[8:42 PM]
Lavinia: “Why did you disappear for three years???”
[8:42 PM]
Lavinia: “What do you mean, ‘Why do you know so much about me?’ You left Aisha confused and alone, of course I know everything about the guy that hurt my friend (who just happens to be the world’s best boss (I’m not angling for a promotion, I swear))!!!!”
[8:43 PM]
Lavinia: And most important:
[8:43 PM]
Lavinia: “Why did you suddenly reach out to Aisha again just to invite her to some racing tournament??????? We’re scientists, not Screamers!”
[8:43 PM]
Lavinia: Except…
[8:43 PM]
Lavinia: I guess…
[8:43 PM]
Lavinia: Technically, now we ARE Screamers?
[8:43 PM]
Lavinia: Can I add that to my resume???
[8:43 PM]
Lavinia: Lavinia Ricci Antinori – Scientist, Astronaut, and Screamer
[8:44 PM]
Lavinia: I like it!
[8:44 PM]
Lavinia: Though it is a little alarming without context…
[8:44 PM]
Gregor: Lavinia. Despite your relentless rambling, you’ve still managed the impressive feat of failing to ask the most important question:
[8:44 PM]
Gregor: Why is Jupiter Stormers Industries willing to invest so much just for us to join a Screamer tournament?
[8:45 PM]
Lavinia: Ohhhhh…
[8:45 PM]
Lavinia: I guess it is pretty strange, huh? I mean, what do Screamer races have to do with outer space?
[8:45 PM]
Lavinia: What do you think, Aisha?
[8:47 PM]
Lavinia: Aisha??
[8:47 PM]
Aisha: All I know is that I’m finally going to see my friend again. And that’s enough
