Key lines from episode 2

“I only take what I earned.”
Knox · Knox explains why he sends back the extra twenty thousand credits Erica transferred.

“Twenty minutes? He's as good as any pro racer.”
Erica Churchill · Erica glances at her digital watch after Knox leaves her at the terminal.

“Miss, there's still no word on the missing Kalendos champion.”

“Not that. Look into the courier I met in the Wasteland today.”

How episode 2 ends

Erica stands alone at the city terminal with Alfred's holographic projection glowing beside her. She directs Alfred to ignore the missing champion for now and focus entirely on identifying her Wasteland driver. Will Alfred's background scan uncover Knox’s past as the fallen Kalendos champion, and what will Erica do next?
