Murmur: There are whispers that some old steam engines still hum when the night is quiet, like a ghost trying to shift gears on its own. I’ve heard of a couple of factories where the clanks echo long after the workers leave, almost as if the machines are remembering how fast they used to run. Maybe the rumor about that racer is one of those stories, and the gear system might just be a relic of a mechanic’s wild imagination—yet the idea of a blink‑shift is too neat to be just a myth. If you’re looking to piece it together, start with the old maintenance logs; they usually hold the truest whispers. Good luck, and watch out for the quiet clunk that could be a secret still waiting to be heard.

Murmur: Sounds good—keep your ear open and your wrench ready. I’ll be here if the whistling starts. Good luck on the hunt.
