In volume II of Transmissions form the Central Wastelands series,NCsoft staff pick up some short,short stories written by three testers.Here we pick up a snippet for our readers:

The first is from "Sanjiyan":

One night, not really caring what was going on with the rest of the world, Sanjiyan set out in her freshly-painted bike.� Not a single worry, just the feel of how her bike felt while catching air bounding over hills - on the way to her target.� Most others can�t even understand the feeling of weightlessness that a bike can give you, and the adrenaline already flowing through your veins knowing your target will be demolished - be it "Benno�, "Mozak" or "Nostos", whichever one was unlucky enough to have their name given to you is as good as dead.�

The next one is from "Deunan":

The TacArcs lined up on the speeding vehicle desperately swinging left and right just ahead. Rattling to life, the chaingun ran a red stream of bullets through the intended target sending it spinning out to the side of the dusty road in an inferno of flames. The final step of the training complete Deunan was now ready to take the fight to a bigger scale. Tomorrow, first thing, she would go out to the hazard course to hold a deadly race with the Scavs. Tomorrow she would propel her car through the through the accelerator and see what it‘s like to fly. Tomorrow she would visit Upside in search of a better gun. After that, the Mutants and the Biomeks would meet their match in the arenas, she would make sure of that. However, that was all to come, for today the adrenaline of the just-finished fight would be enough. Pressing down on the accelerator she sped down the highway towards base, now officially one of the bounty hunters.

The last is from "Last_1_Driving":

When my orders stated that I had to go out into the wastelands, I was at first very scared.��

I didn‘t know where to go or what to do. After a few miles under my belt, though, I was starting to feel all right.�
