Allyn stops at the gate and honks her horn
Irene opens the gate
Irene: "Welcome home trucker."
Allyn drives inside
Irene's about to shut the gates until she sees some rotating beacons from the distance
another horn sound's heard
Irene: "Who's that?"
a dark blue Enormeta semi-trailer stops
the driver comes down
Irene: "Welcome to Hunterseekers HQ. I'm Irene Lawrence, part of the organization. Are you here for registration?"
James: "Yes miss. Where's the office?"
Irene: "Go full straight until you see the word "Jackson's Office". He's always sitting inside and waiting for newcomers."
James: "Thank you. I'll introduce myself later."
James jogs towards the office with his own papers
Irene: "He... jogs? What an interesting man."

James sees the office
the doors open
James sits down
Jackson turns around
Jackson: "Welcome, recruit. I'm Jackson Spliter, Head of Hunterseekers, first-in-command. Here's my right hand, Wolf Maestro, second-in-command."
James: "My introduction. James Brenndan, originally British but emigrated to Italy and grew up in Cerezzata. I've got a small family with an Italian wife, so I can be considered as the family's pillar."
James puts his documents on the table
Jackson reads them all
Jackson: "So you used to work for Compagnia di Trasporti Supernova, or we translate as Supernova Transportation Company. That means another trucker. Wolf, give him the earpiece."
Wolfs hands in an earpiece
James: "JB, means my name. Great."
James wears the earpiece
James: "Uno due tre, micro check."
Jackson: "Do you have a personal vehicle?"
James: "Yes, a personal truck! For my former hauling purposes of course."
Jackson: "Show us! If it's possible, we'll upgrade the truck."
James leads Jackson and Wolf to his Enormeta
11:26
Allyn's seen admiring the Enormeta as James, Jackson and Wolf appear
Allyn stands up
Jackson: "Hey Allyn. This is our second trucker, James Brenndan."
Allyn: "Hi there newcomer. I'm Allyn Garnella."
James: "Nice to meet you. This is my Enormeta."
Allyn: "Wow... this looks unusually beautiful. I'm so used to Enormetas with trailers or addons that I failed to realize this semi-trailer truck. This 8x8 configuration's also something out of the boundaries."
James: "Indeed that's rare. I've been delivering multiple stuffs on this truck for about 8 years, before my marriage."
Allyn: "Oh... 1973."
James: "You got it so right. I wonder what's your work here. You're so excited in terms of trucks."
Allyn: "You may not know, but I'm the first trucker of Hunterseekers, and I also have a trustworthy Enormeta. Want to see it?"
James: "Oh... what!? Sure! By the way, Jackson said Hunterseekers offers modifications, right?"
Wolf: "Yes. Our crew's in charge of this."
James: "Let's see... tell them to remove the sadle, replace with a... 2-floor flatbed. If it's over-complicated, you can take my demonstration."
James gives Wolf a big piece of paper
Wolf: "I see... a concept of a car transporter. May I take your key?"
James gives Wolf the key
Wolf starts up and drives the Enormeta to the workshop
Allyn: "Since he's driving to the workshop, let's pay a visit to the nearby garage."
Allyn guides James to the garage
11:31
James' in the garage
James "That's a lovely garage. I'll have a look."
Allyn: "Here's Jackson's car, the Splitter. Double T, not Single T like Jackson's name. Next to it is Wolf's Slimcar, built for better experience."
James: "Unique!"
Allyn: "These are Lawrences' Bonnies. They aren't sisters, but friends. Their names are Yue, Yvonne, and Irene. The colors of their cars, respectively, are blue, red, and green. The gatekeeper you saw recently was Irene."
James: "Interesting. I love how Yue's blue Bonnie has stars on the sides. What do they resemble?"
Allyn: "Ah, the stars resemble the star on Vietnam's flag. Vietnam's the homeland of them, along with my friends and I, and many of my friends around the world. If you know Roger Derek Larker thanks to the media, he's one!"
James: "Oh... OH! The all-mighty sniper! Indeed, I knew him through the news. What an amazing friend, woah...!"
Allyn: "Here's where you may want to see. These 3 little cars are my friends' cars. This is the first generation Girasole, whose driver's named Linda Bendetti. This logo says Semi-Tetto, means it can be a convertible."
James: "Awesome. I guess this black roof is built soft to be folded, right?"
Allyn: "Correct. Then here's the next generation of the Girasole, driven by my tomboy mate, Amy Alberton."
James: "I love those lines. Both are really distinct and dissimilar from each other. I don't know they're the same name."
Allyn: "Next up, we have a Solaris, with Valerina Cascata sitting behind the wheel. Her choice's very unique I have to say."
James: "That looks like... a frog. I wonder how this girl looks like in person."
Allyn: "Her hair color's pretty much as red as the paint, and red rashes from her sweat allergy makes she being called a tomato."
James: "What on earth... sweat allergy? It's my first time knowing about it."
Allyn: "Anyways, the last one. My lovely Enormeta!"
Allyn points to the truck at the right
James: "Woah... it even has a separate hangar. And a long as heck 2-floor flatbed trailer. It must be a 6x2 from what I see."
Allyn: "It's actually a 6x4. 4 back wheels rotate for power, 2 front wheels do the usual purpose."
James: "I see. Mine's a 8x8 with a distribution of 2 front wheels and 6 rear wheels. All of them are powered, as the name suggests."
Allyn: "Power at maximum indeed."
James: "Speaking of your Enormeta, it must be really tough to park the truck perfectly, especially in case its trailer's attached. Now I understand why its distance to the garage door's the shortest."
Allyn: "That was a pain in the neck, but now I'm used to manouvering those situations."
James: "You seem so experienced."
Allyn: "But not as you!"
both laugh

Wolf brings out the Enormeta
James comes around with a smile
James: "Massive! I love this color scheme! So beautiful! And the systematic flatbeds too, exactly what I want. Thanks for your help!"
Allyn, Amy, Linda and Valerina come around
Allyn: "Now that's a purposeful Enormeta."
James: "Thanks for the compliment! Oh, these girls are your friends?"
Allyn: "Right. This is Linda, this is Amy, and this is..."
James: "Toma- I mean Valerina."
everyone laughs
