Would you mind if I wrote out the bios for the Angelus and Crinale pilots? Or is the point of all this that you write everything out?
EDIT: I am an IDIOT! You are only writing about the original teams. It seems you are not the only one who is "Too dumb to read" -_-
Considering Jonny started to post the pilots for the F12000, I shall help him...

Not much is known about Kyoko, as she refuses to talk about or reveal anything unless it is absolutely necessary. Therefore, it is very difficult to get a hold of her personal background data before her employment to the Angelus team. What is known is that due to her refusal to do what she calls 'unnecessary things', she has become a better pilot because of it, somewhat exceeding the racing level of her replacement, Tarah Andrews.
Her racing suit, which she is always seen in, is a somewhat tight fitting black suit adorned with azure blue light strips running around it. A small area of these light strips contain her racing number, #43. another area contains her name. The helmet is similar in colour, black with azure light strips.
Kyoko will participate in the upcoming F12000 in 2212 alongside Angelus veteran Gareth Ardos in a visually modified version of Angelus' F12000 AG racing craft. The visual modifications and styling changes were designed and recommended by Kyoko herself, and consists of a graphic of an angel on the front, flowing azure blue lines along the side and top of the craft, and a light, almost invisible coloured hexagonal tessellation pattern that fills the whole ship.
Always wearing helmet? Remebers me the Adrian Sutil-rumor ^^
Name: Pascal Rach
Shortname: RAC
Nationality: German
Birth: 23. August 2185
Hairstile: Short-Straight Blonde
Eye colour: Brown
Team: FEISAR
Race Number: 14
Height: 1,80m

Pascal Rach is a fast greenracer for FEISAR.
He is notable for a peaceful aura, never loosing his concentration and being harsh, but always fair.
Although being fast he didn't won a title yet, mainly because his greenracer ambition is sometimes a big obstacle.
On technical tracks he is unbeatable, as they favour the FEISAR's craft characteristics.

The rules (I think I missed something...).
No wonder it took that long, you went all out on it to make it look as official as possible! Great job!
Things to change/edit:
- 2.1.3 - EG-X is China/Finland, not Sweden/Finland
- 2.1.3 - Shouldn't it be "A team’s Nationality must be a real Nation"
That's about it. Also, was the final average speed requirement for the four stages the speeds you posted a while back:

:D
To 2.1.3.: Ah right China/Finland, was just a typo, I knew that :P
Anyway, Nope, a teams Nationailty mustn't even be known (Crinale), could be an international organisation (FEISAR), a consortium (EG-X), a region (eg. Scottland) or something like "International", or "Mars" etc.
The "requirement" for a new stage is a tempoary soltion. I'm going to create a formula and think about the "worth" that determines the stage.
So basically, Angelus is okay, as they give their nationality as Australian, but Crinale is not, as they have kept their location unknown?
EDIT: 5.1: All crafts HAVE to be equipped with all weapons that are confirmed by the F12k administration.
Wow, I was thinking the exact same thing when I was making Angelus' F12000 craft! :D
5.1.: In WipEout History there were multiple teams that didn't have named a real country as their nationality, like Auricom or FEISAR. In wip3out Icaras' nationality was "diverse". So the exact location of Crinale must not be known.
OK, so Crinale is alright, but can Angelus still be classified as "Australian"? Because Triakis is.
Of course (It's your fanfic BTW)
Yeah, good point, haha!
OK, I have quite a bit of content to post, but I'll do it one at a time.
First off, here's a pilot info file for Gareth Ardos:

Born on April 30th, 2171 in Toowooomba, Queensland, Australia, Gareth Ardos grew up as a gamer. He found joy in playing a variety of games, such as action, adventure, platforming and racing games. But his favourite game series of all time was an AG racing simulator, where he poured hours upon hours into, eventually investing money into a racing wheel setup.
Since the AG racing simulator was his all time favourite game, Gareth decided to apply to race for a junior racing team, UQAGD (University of Queensland Anti-Gravity Development), in the FX150 Amateur League in 2188. It just so happened that the racing team he applied for was sponsored by the then known Katana Advancements, which also supplied parts to the racing team. Due to Gareth's gaming skills and his simulator experience, he was surprisingly good at racing in a real AG craft.
After the moderate success the team had with Gareth until the end of the FX150 in 2196, Katana founder Brandon Smith approached him a year later in 2198, asking him to join his new upcoming professional racing team. Gareth initially denied this offer, but returned in 2200, claiming that "turning down the Angelus project deal was the single biggest mistake in my life".
Since Angelus' debut to professional AG racing in 2209, Gareth participated in the FX400 alongside Tarah Andrews until the end of the FX400 in 2210. He will continue to race in the inaugural F12000 season in 2212, this time racing alongside the mysterious new pilot, Kyoko Fujisaki, who has replaced Tarah Andrews, the previous lead pilot.
Secondly, and lastly: the Faster Than Angels site is officially out of maintenance mode, and into live mode. Enjoy!
PS. Some things you should check out are the 'Angelus' section and the 'Crinale' section for info about the new F12000 ships. Also, go check out 'Other>Downloads' for a link to the Season 1 Soundtrack!

Well someone's been watching a lot of Initial D! (Not that there's anything wrong with that. :P)
Fun Fact: There's rumors about a new RX-7 that's expected to come out in 2017!

>>file03_: Lucia Scarlatti//[CRI]
<//loading... complete_>
//Full Name: Lucia Scarlatti
//Team: Crinale International
//Country of Birth/Nationality: Italian
//Age: 18 [As of 2212]
//DOB: January 2nd, 2194
//Height: 167cm/5'6"
//Weight: 48kg/106lb.
//Hair Colour/Type/Style: Black/Straight/Long
//Eye Colour: Brown
//Occupation: Lead Pilot, Crinale International (2212-)
//Pilot ID: SCAR308.0.0.329
//Racer Number: 7
//Racing Style: Aggressive, Very Violent.
//Likes: Racing, Heavy metal music.
//Dislikes: Being bored.
//Friends: Crinale employees.
//Foes: Angelus.
//Rivals: Angelus (archrival)
Born in Milan, Italy on the 2nd of January, 2194, Lucia Scarlatti is the youngest person to ever be entered in the F12000, at the age of 18. She is a prodigy in this field, having superb racing skills even at an early age. It is no wonder why Crinale decided to select her to be part of the team. Despite her exceptional racing skills, however, she does not excel in other fields, failing multiple subjects and even flunking out of school.
Lucia was always the 'black sheep' of the family, choosing to disregard their beliefs and opinions, even going so far as to doing the complete opposite of said beliefs. It is for this reason she has decided to use her talent to her advantage and pursue her AG racing career. She also prefers to listen to heavy metal music, also done to spite her parents.
Due to Crinale's training regime, Lucia's racing style is mostly the same as second pilot Leon Turner's: Violent and aggressive, though she does, however, tend to race her own way, having more than just one racing style. This may be because she does not like being bored, which means that her racing styles are based on whatever mood she seems to be in, giving further evidence to just how skilled she is as a pilot. One thing is for certain, though. All of her racing styles have two constant themes: One of violence, most likely developed due to Crinale's training; and one of perfection, which is most likely Lucia's true racing style, without any bias to violence made by Crinale.
...and finally, the last pilot info file, that of Leon Turner.
<//fta_backstories_v2_>
>>file04_: Leon Turner//[CRI]
<//loading... complete_>
//Full Name: Leon Nathan Turner
//Team: Crinale International
//Country of Birth/Nationality: British
//Age: 37 [As of 2212]
//DOB: November 17th, 2175
//Height: 185cm/6'1"
//Weight: 68kg/150lb.
//Hair Colour/Type/Style: Dark Maroon/Straight/Short
//Eye Colour: Grey
//Occupation: Second Pilot, Crinale International (2212-)
//Pilot ID: TURN847.1.0.329
//Racer Number: 13
//Racing Style: Aggressive, Very Violent.
//Personal Car: 2210 Rolls-Royce Phantom
//Likes: Racing, reading, pizza.
//Dislikes: Non-violent racing, modern pop music, 'common' people
//Friends: Lucia Scarlatti.
//Foes: None.
//Rivals: Angelus (archrival)
Born into the wealth of F9000 pilot Naomi Turner, Leon had done everything in his power to increase his fortune, buying out many companies and businesses, eventually buying himself his own mansion and, in 2210, a custom special edition of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. In doing so, however, he has grown a level of arrogance, and he sees himself as being superior to others, specifically those who have less wealth than him.
He was hand-picked by Crinale due to him being the only child of professional AG racing pilot Naomi Turner. Fortunately for them, Leon has taken after his mother in the fact that he likes to race AG craft in his spare time, and is quite good at it. During his stay at Crinale's headquarters, he has not made many friends, due to him being cold, blunt and unsociable. However, he has made one friend in the younger lead pilot, Lucia Scarlatti.
Leon is a dangerous rival, as his racing style has been carved out by Crinale themselves, to make their pilots more aggressive and violent to other pilots. He is dangerous in another sense in that he has used a minimal amount of his immense fortune to pay for a large set of upgrades (10%) for his craft before the start of the league, gaining a sizeable advantage over the other teams, who started the league with no upgrades to any of their ships. Due to his massive fortune, Leon has chosen to race not because of the payout given for competing, but because of his love of racing.
It kills me to say this :(
Flying with Dragons is being discontinued for a unknown length of time.
Sorry for the inconvenience but I've got a lot on my plate right now, 4 pieces of coursework, two exams, independent studying, crap tonne of homework and incredibly tight deadlines. I don't have time anymore and its slowly making me insane.
In regards to the plot, you guys will have to figure something out, my idea is just to only mention Wyvern AR in the races and not outside of the race environment. Basically the teams position and what they do in the race for I can work around that but I cannot make changes to their plot line to fit in with the other stories. I realise this is a massive problem but I cannot afford to waste time.
Really sorry guys, I don't know when I can start writing again but sadly this is my only choice. I will keep reading the stories though so don't think I'm abandoning everything about this, just putting it on hold. Looking forward to future parts.
That's fine, your real life comes before this.
Regarding the Dragons plot, can I still do the thing we discussed via PM?
Yeah that's fine, it doesn't affect my plot significantly so I'm able to make the changes for that if need be.
Awesome.
I probably said it already, but I'm just waiting until I have written out all of Part 14 (a multi-parter) before I post it.
Now I'm curious about "that thing"
heheheh... soon... >:D
Berlin Design Racing
Location: Göteborg, Sweden
Established: 2210
Theme: *Added Later*
Key People:
- Freddy Jörgund (Founder) [2210]
- Marcim Jakonitsch (Co-Founder) [2210]
- Layla Dedim (PR) [2210]
- Griffin Farin (Chief-Designer) [2210]
Berlin Design Racing is a Swedish Anti-Gravity Racing Team that will join the F12000 in 2212.
No big backstory is behind this team, rather a bunch of exentric people that ant to enjoy the crowds.
The ending "Racing" in the teams name was critizised since the real seriousness and interest in racing is not clear.
First Pilot:
Name: Gerrid Le Dessin
Number: 55
Nationality: French
Short Name: LDE
Gender: Male
Height: 1.78m
Weight: 67kg
DoB: 12th May 2185 (27, as of 2212)
Gerrid Le Dessin is the Number 1 pilot of Berlin Design.
Prior to 2210 he was a self-employed artist and wanted to make his hometown Brussles more colorfull.
Although he usually appears friendly and open-minded, he can be very arrogant.
Second Pilot:
Name: Lena Danin
Number: 67
Nationality: Swedish
Short Name: DAN
Gender: Female
Height: 1.65m
Weight: 52kg
DoB: 30th May 2187 (25, as of 2212)
Lena Danin also used to be a self-employed artist, but her new interest was the FX400 as she discovered "the artistic beauty of racing".
Unlike others at Berlin Design her seriousness with the racing project was confirmed by her success in the Swedish FJ300.
Trivia
- Although Berlin Design is very artistic and wants to entertain the spectators, their recent prototype is very fast.
- Also some of the Key People appear arrogant.
- The name "Berlin Design Racing" is a referrence to a team in the original ToCA Race Driver, starting in the "American All-Stars Series": "Berlin Signs and Tags"
Oh, hey a new team, that'd keep things fresh!
[part removed]
It's finally complete! I've condensed 2 years into 6 parts. Oh boy.
The referenced album title of Part 13.0 was No More Sleep by Cosmic Gate.
This may be a bit of a boring part, but it just condenses the near 2 year gap between the start of Angelus' F12000 development, March 10th, 2210 and the start of the inaugural F12000 race on Saturday, February 1st, 2212.

"Brandon, what's up? Why aren't you talking to me?" Tarah asked timidly, worried about Brandon.
It took a while for Brandon to respond, but, he finally did so with: "... [sigh]... Stay away from me."
"...What? Wh-... WHY?!" she exploded, with tears in her eyes. "Do you hate me? What did I do? I'm sorry! I really am s-"
"Stop. This has nothing to do with you. It has to do with despair." Brandon looked around the office, then, "You know what? I do not want to discuss this here, meet me in my office." he added, walking away immediately after, not waiting for her.
As soon as she closed the door, Brandon spoke up again.
"I don't want this as much as you do, but it's for your own safety."
"What the hell do you mean, for my own safety?!" She was quite angry.
"Do you remember Sarah Fillick? Girlfriend of David Mendel? She was murdered, in cold blood, by Falon. Well guess what? He's now coming here, to Angelus. You, Tarah, are his number one target, and for the exact same reason he attacked Sarah."
"The same reason? And just what reason is that?"
"Despair. It all has to do with despair. Specifically, MY despair. We have grown close, too close. Falon intends to use that to his advantage by causing harm to come to you, just as he did with David and Sarah. Ergo, we cannot be seen together in public anymore. it is for this reason that as long as the F12000 exists, I will never give them the luxury of a smile."
"Oh... Wh-What about in private? Can we see each other then?"
"Maybe we can be together then. Maybe. I don't know. I just know that I do NOT want you hurt, or worse, dead."
"[sigh], okay, fine. I'm gonna take the rest of this day off." She said sadly, walking out.

"People, I have some news to tell you" Brandon said, starting off the day.
"Is it good or bad news?" An employee asked.
"It's neither, it's just some news. In any case... let's begin. Our beloved lead pilot, Tarah Andrews, has resigned from the team. She wanted to move on to 'bigger and better things'. Heh, as if we aren't big enough already, all of Australia loves us... well, except for those bogan Triakis lovers... ahem!
"Now, I have got some candidates for Tarah's replacement, the next Angelus pilot, and I will be able to make a decision before they are needed for practice... and the registration for the pilots."
"Wait, why can't Alex fly?"
"Because I do not want to" Alex spoke up, "I feel much more at home flying with Crinale and, furthermore, I do not want to become synonymous with the team, I just want to help behind the scenes."
"Well, I hope she answered that for you. In any case, our new pilot will be decided at about April."
"What about me?" Gareth asked, "Would I still be the second pilot?"
"Ah, that is the main reason why I did not say that our new pilot will be the lead pilot. I know Tarah was very good, but you were very close behind her. Who knows, maybe you'll be better, maybe you'll be lead!"
"Okay. It doesn't matter anyway, I don't care if I'm lead or second, just as long as I get to race for this team."
"And that's why you do! Now, if everyone's done, let's get to work."

The intimidating shot of 'Viktor Antonov', complete with black helmet, filled the screen, as he began to speak in his usual thick Russian accent.
"Welcome to Friday 13th. We are Crinale. We... have already won.
Following involuntary termination of Alexandra Kotova, we decided to make crucial changes to company. First, our location has changed. So if you AGRC bastards think you've found us in Liverpool, nice try, but you are way too late. Secondly, we are glad to welcome Leon Turner and Lucia Scarlatti to roster of AG racing pilots. They have passed strict tests and have more than proved they can race, as well as demolishing anything that stands in way of them.
"Lastly, we have changed our name. We are Crinale Technologies, Inc. no more. We... are Crinale International. We... have already won. Бой против силы тяжести! Fight Against Gravity!"
"Hey, Smithy, I heard they launched a space station. Is that true?" Gareth spoke once the live telecast was over.
"Hmm, well I don't know, but I can say that most rumours come from some truth or another. Also, knowing Crinale, I wouldn't put it past them." Brandon replied.
"Okay. Also, regarding Tarah, I hope she didn't quit cause you guys fell out with one another."
"No, she made that very clear that it had nothing to do with our relationship."
"Phew, thanks for that. Oh, one more thing, if I may?" Gareth remembered something he wanted to ask Brandon.
"Sure, what is it?"
"Our new pilot, erm... Kyoko, was it? Anyway, I never see her around, what's up with that?"
"Kyoko Fujisaki, yes. Apparently, she calls it being 'efficient'. Basically, she will not say or do anything unless it is absolutely necessary. However, according to her, that makes her a better pilot, by not focusing on 'irrelevant' things. Oh, speaking of, let's get back to work, we're tight on schedule."
Brandon then said, while looking at the checklist of the project, "At this moment, we're working on... on... oh. NICHT!"
"What?" Gareth said, wondering why Brandon just started yelling in German.
Brandon just looked at him "...You're right... that's not even correct German*."
"Th-that's not my point. You just started yelling in German, why?"
"I don't know, I just felt like it. The reason why I yelled, however, is because I completely screwed up. I overlooked something. Let's go, we don't have a moment to lose."

A new team is to compete in the F12000. Berlin Design Racing, a Swedish team, say they are going to compete to "give enjoyment to the fans and spectators of the sport". Development has started on their F12000 craft, which has been reported to be "very artistic" in design.

*Jonny can attest to that. If my German is correct(*cough*googletranslate*cough*), Brandon yelled "Not", which is indeed incorrect German.
EDIT: Now I got it, he missed the "-s"
Oh yeah that's right I forgot I'm uploading these every day lol.
Now, Crinale owned Omega Harbour through their front company RidgeTech, so was it them that updated the track to F12000 spec? Well...

Angelus R&D HQ, Perth, Australia
08:38:56
Professional AG racing team Angelus Research & Development have successfully bought out the deeds to Omega Harbour, for AUD9,418,639.14. After the creators of the 12.5 kilometre Australian circuit, the RidgeTech Corporation, were forced to shut down by their parent company, Crinale International, the bids opened up to see who would be the new owners of the course, with Angelus coming out on top.
"YAAAAAY! We now own Omega Harbour! Now, it is up to us to maintain and upgrade the track to F12000 specifications. But that's ok. We have people who can work on that while we work on Project X5."
"よし！私はいつも「オメガ·ハーバー」を体験したいと思っていた。私はそれについて多くのことを聞いた ！"
(Yoshi! Watashi wa itsumo `omega· hābā' o taiken shitai to omotte ita. Watashi wa sore ni tsuite ōku no koto o kiita!)
[tr: Alright! I've always wanted to experience 'Omega Harbour'. I've heard a lot about it!]
A female voice spoke out. It was slightly computerised, and had spoken in Japanese.
"Wha-?" Brandon spun around after hearing the voice, and saw Kyoko Fujisaki standing behind him. "K-Kyoko? U-um, can you understand English?"
"はい。"
(Hai.)
[tr: Yes.]
She nodded when she said that.
"Great, cause we absolutely suck at Japanese, sorry. Do you mind if you speak in English?"
"え？私が英語で話していたと思った...ああ、ちょっと待って。"
(E? Watashi ga eigo de hanashite ita to omotta... Ā, chottomatte.)
[tr: Huh? I thought I was speaking in English... oh, wait a moment.]
Suddenly, Kyoko's helmet lit up for a few seconds, then...
"Sorry about that, I guess the translator turned off. What I said was that I had always wanted to experience Omega Harbour." The same computerised voice spoke, this time in English.
"Well, you will do soon enough. Wait... why are you here? You never come here."
"Hah, I come here more often than you think. You just caught me. I am here for the very same reason I always come here: To use the simulator. I need the practice. Personally, if I had one of those things in my house, I would not have the need to waste time to travel here. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd rather not waste any more time conversing, I need to practice." After that, she turned and walked off to the simulator.
"Well then... I think that was a conversation, and you all got to meet Kyoko in... well, more or less in the flesh."
"She is more like an android than anything." Alex muttered. "She must be a top-tier racer. Are you sure she is human?"
"I... don't know, I assume she is, but honestly, who knows?"

"To the 'great' Brandon Smith,
Have you forgotten me? Say hi to Tarah and the team for me.
HAHAHA
FD."
"So... it begins..."
<!--end log-->
...No, they didn't update Omega Harbour, it was Angelus.
Speaking of tracks, where do you want the first race of the F12000 in 2212 to take place at?
FD?
My mind is rotarying XD
About sucking with languages, Brandon already proved that before :P
First track: Altima VIII ^^
Altima... Eight?! You know what? That's not a bad idea, I mean, the course roster was changed for the F12000, so why not?
Also, that FD was just a coincidence. They're a certain someone's initials. You'll find out who exactly... right now, in fact! :D

Angelus R&D HQ, Perth, Australia
19:25:34
WARNING:>> Emergency code <GH8 CF> in effect. Repeat, Emergency code <GH8 CF> in effect.
At the sound of the warning, everyone scattered, seemingly evacuating from the building. Well, almost everyone. Brandon walked over to the main hall, at which point the power went out.
[click]... "Hi!" Came a voice after the clicking of a gun.
"Ah, so nice of you to visit... Falon." Bandon replied.
"Aw, you DO remember me! So, to business... where is your dear... girlfriend, Tarah?"
"Gone. She is no longer here. You're not the only one who has been busy... ok, I can't do this anymore. Can I please turn around? I'd rather not speak to a wall."
"Are you crazy? 'Course you can! This isn't a murder-mystery-thriller... thing. You know who I am. So go ahead, face me. I have no intention of killing you... heh... yet. BUTBEFOREYOUDO!" He then said extremely quickly, "Do so veeerry slowly. I won't rule out the possibility that you may have a trick up your sleeve."
"Ok, so now what? You aren't just gonna kill me, are you?"
"Pfft, NO! I'm here to cause you emotional pain! How fun!"
"Of course. My despair." Brandon mumbled.
"Huh? Despair? Wait... I... actually like the sound of that! DESPAIR! HAHAHAHA-in any case," He quickly stopped laughing, "I know that you've been busy, ditching poor, innocent Tarah like that, oh. If only there were some people around to help me cause despair."
BANG!
Without looking, Falon aimed left and shot... at nothing.
"This is not a 'murder-mystery-thriller thing', there are no Angelus employees there." Brandon used Falon's words against him
"Angelus... so there's some AGRC employees?" Falon queried.
"Do you know what happened to them? There is no way I'd side with them now-" Brandon tried to explain.
"THAT'S IT! HAHAHAHA! You! You're getting it on with Lexy Kotova!" he yelled, cutting Brandon off. He then called her out, "Oh, Lexy! You can come out now! Lexy? Alexandra? KOTOVA! COME OUT NOW!"
"You're insane. I told you already... there is no-one here. Not even me."
"You wha-?" Falon had faced away from Brandon to look for Alex, in which time Brandon took the opportunity to disappear from Falon's view, using the darkness to his advantage.
"HEY! That's cheating!"
Falon then ran in a random direction, which caused Brandon to start playing games with him. "Oh, you're going that way... fair enough."
"WHERE ARE YOU?! SHOW YOURSELF!" Falon was clearly getting agitated.
"Ok, fine. Take a left. Now a right. Another right. Left here. See that door that says 'Prototype Development'? Go in there."
When he did, He found something that shocked him.
"You come in here, TO MY BUSINESS, and threaten me that you will cause my despair[?! HAH, not today! Merry Christmas!"
Brandon then threw down the switch of the prototype device, an unfinished build of Angelus' F12000 Super-Weapon, causing it to glow bright blue. The railgun then fired a energy pulse at an extremely high speed directly at Falon. He never stood a chance, flying across the building due to the momentum of the pulse.
Then the lights turned on. As Brandon walked calmly to where the body landed, the employees came out of their hiding places. Brandon then looked down at the corpse of Falon Dare...
...and kicked his head. Hard.
"Threat neutralized." He growled, then turned to the rest of the team, "it's over, you can all leave now. Merry Christmas to you guys."
All but one particular individual left, instead they sat down next to him. "He's finally dead. No more threats. You can come out of your proper hiding now." He told her.
Kyoko Fujisaki then made a weird noise, then took off her helmet...
[REDACTED]
<!--end log-->
FD has a initial F and a initial D...
1. Falon can't be dead, it would be to easy.
2. The last thing is to obvious.
1. Nah, he's dead. Angelus' Super-Weapon has been designed to not cause damage to other ships, but people are different.
2. What thing at the end? That thing with Kyoko?
Was the weapon just a pulse or was he Natsha Belmondo-ed?
And Kyoko is either Alexandra or Tarah, my thought.
I should explain what exactly Angelus' Super Weapon is, and I'll also update to site to reflect it. That's what those redactions and errors were on the KA-AX2.0 page.
Angelus were also required to develop a Super Weapon for the new league. Development started on a Railgun [ge22B EMP Railgun] that fired an extremely high speed charged energy pulse. This energy pulse, upon impact with any craft, would short out any and all electronic systems for a short period of time. This weapon abides to Angelus' ideals, as it causes no direct damage, any damage occurred will be due to the craft hitting a wall or any other craft as it drifts uncontrollably.
In other words, he just got a fatal electric shock... and impact from a high-momentum object. So he wasn't 'Natsha Belmondo-ed' :P
As for Kyoko Fujisaki... she's really [REDACTED]. However, she will officially race as Kyoko in the F12000.
