Well, I guess I'm ready. Come along, Mr. Damon.
gpt
Am I going with you in the test?
human
Surely. I've been counting on you. If you're to be with me in the race, you want to get a sample of what we can do. Take your place. Mr. Jackson, are you ready to time us?
gpt
All ready, Tom.
human
And, dad, do you feel well enough to check back Mr. Jackson's results? I don't want any errors.
gpt
Oh, yes, Tom. I can do it.
human
Very well, then. Now this is my plan. I'm going to mount upward on an easy slant, and put her through a few stunts first, to warm up, and see that everything is all right. Then, when I give the signal, by dropping this small white ball, that means I'm ready for you to start to time me. Then I'll begin to try for the record. I'll go about the course in a big ellipse, and--well, we'll see what happens.
