<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

You have a message from Blaze. Apparently we've arrived in the system just in time for a race, and she needs to know whether to sign up:

<i><b>Commander, if we're going to do this race, there are a few things you need to know. This one takes place in the jungle, so we have a few options. I can push hard and drive aggressively, but we'll want to watch out when the jungle gets too dense. On the other hand, I can play it a bit safer and hope to make up the time in the straightaways. Like most of these races, there's also an optional "shortcut" route; this one appears to run through a corrosive spore field. Just let me know how you'd like to proceed, and I'll get things ready to go. Of course if we don't have time, I understand.</i></b>

{{Larger|'''Option A - "Drive aggressively.":'''}}

Blaze put the pedal to the metal, and started off strong. Unfortunately, the thick mist of the jungle hid a hairpin turn, and Blaze slid off the trail. With the Apocalypse snagged in a tangle of thick vines, Blaze lost several hours and was unable to make up the time, finishing in the middle of the pack.

'''Result:''' 
* 1 race loss added to season record


{{Larger|'''Option B - "Play it safe.":'''}}

Blaze cautiously navigated the tight turns of the jungle, and when the thick mist obscured the track, she was able to avoid the 10-car pileup caused when the two lead cars missed a hairpin turn. With most of her competition either wrecked or hopelessly delayed, Blaze leisurely took the Apocalypse across the finish line.

'''Result:''' 
* Morale increased by 2
* Company C-Bills increased by 100,000
* 1 race win added to season record


{{Larger|'''Option C - "Take the shortcut.":'''}}

Intimately familiar with the corrosive spore fields common on jungle planets, you were confident that the Apocalypse could handle the damage. Even with the spore clouds slowing Blaze down, the shortcut shaved more than enough time off the race to take home a win.

'''Result:''' 
* Morale increased by 1
* Company C-Bills increased by 100,000
* 1 race win added to season record


{{Larger|'''Option D - "Hold off on racing for now.":'''}}

Blaze knows that contracts are more important than racing. Besides, there are plenty of other races to run.

'''Result:''' 
* No change

'''Note:''' selecting this option does not lock you out of accepting the Jungle Boogie race event in the future.
