The Gateway Organisation issues the following announcement:
In line with the current ship racing event involving Dublin Citadel in Gateway, we would like to remind all ship pilots of the following safety regulation: The speed limit in and around Dublin Citadel is one hundred metres per second. Any speeding infraction will be persecuted to the letter of the law and will result in – possibly deathly – punishment. We would like to wish all participants and spectators a happy 'Wiccan Ware Race' event. Enjoy the show – responsibly.
'The Wiccan Ware Race is now almost one week running, and more and more results come in! So let's do an update.
'The first finish of the day happened in Vasilyev Vision, that beautiful resort with a view. It was Commander Elastul Ma'fer who elegantly glided in in a Hauler and comfortably takes the lead in
Regular. Commander Ma'fer did look a little bit shaken when exiting the ship, though. We will investigate as to the reason for that. Stay tuned. (Personally, I believe that was due to trying to pronounce that ship name …)
'There was more activity at Wicca's World. Commander Alec Turner – unhappy with his position at the rear of the Courier barrier – ran the course again. We are happy to announce that he is now placed at the front of the Courier barrier. He still didn't manage to shatter said barrier, tying instead with Commander Aken Bosch, who surely will distance him shortly. (We did feel a little bad about informing Commander Turner that he had not – as first announced by him – tied first place.)
'However, somebody else was doing some distancing on his own today: Commander Darplata64 did not rest on his laurels and instead did it again. The Vulture shaved roughly another 30 seconds, enhancing the lead to over one minute. Can anybody stop him? (Rumors stating that Commander Bruski has been seen on track remain unconfirmed.)
'And behind the Courier wall, Commander Edelgard von Rhein shows how many different ship types are capable of competing in this race, switching the Viper with a Dolphin and thus gaining more than a minute. Unfortunately, Commander von Rhein announced at the finish line, that this would be the last attempt, as other duties were calling. We wish the Commander all the best!
'And here, the new leaderboard:'

[sub]'But, we have to, don't we?'[/sub]
[sub]'Not if the boss says to keep quiet, we don't.'[/sub]
[sub]'Ah, I see …'[/sub]
