"Keep it steady, steady… steady…"
The voice of the maglev's pilot drilled deep into my brain, like a mantra a monk would repeat to fall into a state of deep meditation.
"Steady… steady… steady…"
Keeping my hands on each of the two autonomous control sticks, I continued to bring them closer and closer to the natural position.
Despite a huge panel of grass going right across the middle of the hovercraft's cockpit, not a single bit of natural light reached my eyes, fully replaced by the intricate displays of both the world outside and thousands upon thousands of all sorts of various parameters.
"Steady… steady… steady…"
I couldn't care less about how the world looked like within the camera feeds.
