Team Peregrine news:

Team Peregrine must report that development of our racecraft is on hold due both to underfunding and that our chief designer/test pilot, Yumiya Naginata, is currently occupied with other projects requiring more immediate completion.

For those of you as yet unfamiliar with Mr. Yumiya, he is a Japanese-born American who emigrated to America with his parents when he was seven years of age. He was quite taken with the sport of anti-gravity racing even at that age, playing videogames based on it. As he grew, young Nagi discovered in himself a great curiosity about how things work and in the course of events became a technologist. Despite dropping out of Bunatao Technical University [in Dunedin, Florida, an institution little-known to the general public, but greatly respected amongst the highest level technical professionals] a full year before graduation, he was quickly hired for his very original thinking by Global Magnetodynamics Corporation. However, being a person of wide-ranging interests, he soon became disenchanted with the excessive compartmentalisation of technical disciplines at the company. It was very fortunate for Team Peregrine to have obtained his services whilst still in the earliest concept stages. His plethora of interests and talents make him ideal to both design the racecraft and to oversee the subgroup developments needed for the task ahead.
