Depending on who wins, they might still end up building them.
Anyway.

"Sis..."
"No Mackie."
"Sis!..."
"No!"
"But it's like... huge if we win it,"
"It's huge for whoever gets to build the thing. We can't make that sort of quanitity of anything,"
"It doesn't matter... It'll be ours."
"If we win, we lose - it's as simple as that. Besides, all our dev money for the year's gone on Anika's project - and upgrades for the next racing season. Anyway, aren't you supposed to be focusing on that thing?"
"That's almost finished... all three are on final eval and we get the results next week"
'And your studies. You know what happens if you blow your scholarship,"
"Yeah, I know, and I'm trying to tie these into my college projects so I'll get credit for them...."
"You sure you can do that?"
"Yeah. Drive fields and engine tech... Materials science and mechanics of machines. It helps my studies sis....really."
"....alright. Just don't let them slip."
"Sweet! You won't regret it, I promise. I already have this Heinkel-based design done up already just in my spare time..... I mean, it's a 72 year old design, but it's simple to build with great handling, and I know the carbotanium process will work with a frame that small. Especially if we use hardsuit fire control gear and helmet-display....
"Mackie...
"I think I can salvage that from the Kulbit project since that's already lightweight. And the engine, since it's in a pod....."
"Mackie!"
"What?'
"Finish your coursework first."
"But sis;'"
"Do it. I won't put the bid in until you're done with your regular assignments. "
"But we'll miss the deadline."
"Not if you get 'em all done. Don't just phone them in either. If I find you failed any of them, I'm putting a stop to these little extra-curricular projects. Okay?"
"Alright..... "
--------------------
So far, I think the catgirls might just be winning it.....
