Less than an hour by scooter? You can make that, easy. Wouldn't be the first time you were running late after you said you'd be somewhere.
Well, you didn't really say you'd be there. You've got no official appointments with the Repiton Corporation; it's more of an obligation to Sestro, given to you by yourself.
There's not a single event headed by your moirail that you haven't been present for, in the seven sweeps you've known him. And you're not about to start missing them due to pithy safety measures now!
