Augmentation Arcade
Previously
Jet Masterson and his stegosaurus steed Nova have burst onto the disc golf scene, making a splash at the Rookie Rush qualifier. However, their early success has put them in the crosshairs of the ruthless veteran Erik Hansen and his band of augmentation-obsessed outlaws, Nero's Marauders. As the rivalry between the Nova Brigade and the Marauders intensifies, Jet must confront the temptation of power-enhancing technology while staying true to the natural bond between cowboy and dinosaur. With the specter of illegal SuperZoks looming and the ElevateUT Championship on the line, Jet and Nova will need more than just moxie to outmaneuver their opponents and prove that true champions are forged in the heat of competition, not a laboratory.
Story by
Jett "Stardust" Novak
Retired Space Cowboy and Disc Golf Legend
"Yeehaw!" Jet Masterson hollered as he clung to Nova's iridescent scales, the wind whipping through his hair. The canyon walls blurred past, a red-rock kaleidoscope that seemed to bend the very fabric of spacetime.
Nova's new augmentation, a sleek chrome device fused to her spine, hummed with an eerie blue light. With each flex of her muscles, they surged forward at impossible speeds, the device enhancing her natural agility to superhuman levels.
Jet whooped with glee as they careened around a hairpin turn, Nova's razor-sharp talons finding purchase in the crumbling stone. But his heart lodged in his throat as her augmentation sputtered, sending a jolt of crackling energy down her flank.
Nova let out a piercing shriek, her tail lashing out uncontrollably. Jet barely managed to dodge the flailing appendage, his eyes wide with sudden terror. "Whoa, girl!" he shouted, his voice nearly lost in the rushing wind. "Easy now!"
With a strained growl, Nova regained control, the device's light stabilizing to a steady pulse. Jet let out a shaky breath, patting her neck reassuringly. "Reckon we still got some kinks to work out, huh, pard?"
As they emerged from the canyon, a glittering oasis rose from the barren plains. The Augmentation Arcade, a pulsing beacon of neon and holo-ads, beckoned to dino jockeys from across the frontier.
Nicholas Jennings stood at the entrance, his Cosmic Carnotaurus gleaming under the binary suns. The towering dino's jet-black scales were accented with swirling nebulae, the cosmic patterns shifting as nanites flowed beneath the surface. Its eyes glowed an ethereal violet, enhanced with targeting optics that could track a disc from three klicks out.
"Fancy meeting you here, buckaroo!" Nicholas called, waving Jet over. "See you finally got that newfangled spine-jack for Nova. She sure looks like a shooting star now!"
Jet grinned, hopping down from Nova's back. "Gotta keep up with you old-timers somehow! But I tell ya, this dadgum thing's got a kick like an ornery mule."
Nicholas chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Reckon that's the price of progress, kid. But you'll get her sorted. It's all about finding that balance 'tween the tech and the soul, ya know?"
Jet nodded thoughtfully, watching as Nova and the Cosmic Carnotaurus sized each other up. The two dinos circled warily, respect and challenge glinting in their augmented eyes.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted from the Arcade entrance. Lina Skyheart burst through the holo-doors, her face flushed with anger. "Those yellow-bellied Marauders tried to poach Azurebolt!" she spat, her fists clenched. "Said a 'pretty little filly' like me don't belong with a bunch of 'starry-eyed hayseed heroes.'"
Jet's jaw tightened, a cold fury rising in his gut. He'd seen the Marauders' cruelty firsthand, but to go after a fellow Brigade member? It was lower than a snake's belly in a meteor crater.
"They'll rue the day they messed with the Nova Brigade," he growled, stepping forward to lay a comforting hand on Lina's shoulder. "We'll show 'em what a couple of 'hayseeds' can do, won't we, pard?"
Lina managed a tight smile, her eyes shining with grateful determination.
Nicholas nodded, his gaze hardening. "Reckon it's time we taught those varmints a lesson. And I got just the plan." He turned to his Cosmic Carnotaurus, a sly grin spreading across his weathered face. "What d'ya say, CC? Ready to show these young bucks how it's done?"
The towering dino let out a rumbling growl of assent, its violet eyes flashing with anticipation.
As the trio mounted up, Jett Novak's voice crackled over the Arcade's loudspeakers. "Looks like the Nova Brigade's ready to ride, folks! And with Nicholas Jennings leading the charge on that souped-up Carnotaurus, I reckon the Marauders better watch their backs!"
Jet exchanged a determined nod with Lina and Nicholas. Together, they spurred their dinos forward, charging into the glittering heart of the Augmentation Arcade. It was time to take the fight to Nero and his goons, and show the whole dadgum galaxy what the Nova Brigade was made of.
The Lonestar Liftoff was just over the horizon, and with it, a chance to prove that heart and grit could still triumph over cold steel and ruthless ambition. As they rode, Jet could feel Nova's augmentation thrumming in perfect synch with her bounding strides, a testament to the unbreakable bond between dino and rider.
"Hold onto your Stetsons, folks!" Jett's voice boomed. "This here's gonna be a showdown for the ages!"
Jet couldn't help but grin as the wind whipped through his hair. The Marauders may have had the tech, but the Brigade had something far more powerful: the courage to stand for what was right, and the unshakable loyalty of friends who'd ride with you to the ends of the universe.
In the end, that was what being a space cowboy was all about. And as long as Jet had Nova and his Brigade at his side, he reckoned there weren't nothing in this cosmos they couldn't wrangle.
The frontier was calling, and the Nova Brigade was ready to answer. With a rallying cry, they blazed a trail of cosmic dust, riding hell-bent for leather into the starry unknown.
Episode Recap
Augmentation Arcade: Where Space Cowboys and Dinosaurs Collide in a Blaze of Disc Golf Glory
Folks, the Augmentation Arcade was a rootin' tootin' roller coaster of disc golf drama! As the ElevateUT Showdown Series kicked into high gear, our brave space cowboys saddled up their cyber-enhanced dinos and set out to tame the treacherous Nova Brigade and Nero's Marauders courses. With the chilly 30.5°F temperature at tee-off enough to freeze a Zokusaur's scales and winds gusting at 12 mph, the conditions were as unpredictable as a Novalith's temper. But true to form, our competitors adapted and overcame, proving once again that in the world of space cowboy disc golf, grit and determination are the ultimate augmentations.
In the MA1 division, Aaron Detterer and Nicholas Jennings were locked in a cosmic dance, trading the top spot back and forth like a pair of binary stars. The lead changed hands a mind-boggling 8 times, leaving spectators' heads spinning faster than a runaway Zokusaur. In the end, both space cowboys finished with a score of +2, leaving us all breathless and eager for their next showdown.
Over in MPO, Houston Finch put on a clinic in consistency. With a performance as steady as the North Star, Finch took the lead after hole 2 and never looked back, leaving the rest of the field in his cosmic dust. He shot an impressive -1, a feat made all the more remarkable by the challenging course conditions. Daniel McGee and Britain Best rounded out the top 3, but on this day, there was no catching the indomitable Houston Finch.
Jay Shock shocked the MA2 division, posting a solid +5 and proving that sometimes, slow and steady wins the race. In FA2, Afton Bodell showed that she's got a heart as big as a Brachiosaurus, grinding out a +28 finish on a course that wasn't afraid to bare its teeth.
The MA4 division saw Jake Neeley and Brian Bowling go head to head, with Neeley ultimately claiming victory with a score of +11. But the real story here was Neeley's birdie on hole 16, a 311ft par 3 that played like a black hole, sucking in bogeys left and right. While the rest of the field was averaging a soul-crushing +1.0, Jake stepped up and showed that hole who's boss.
Scott Belchak took home the MP40 title with a solid +2, while Collin McCormick rode his trusty Novalith to a +6 finish in MA3. These space cowboys proved that age is just a number when you've got the heart of a champion and the bond of a dino partner.
Speaking of champions, let's take a moment to recognize Britain Best, who walked away with the CTP prize on hole 3. His backhand turnover shot cut through the air like a hot knife through butter, narrowly missing the tiny trees sticking into the fairway and sliding to a stop just 12-15 feet from the pin. For his efforts, Best pocketed a cool $24, proving that sometimes, it pays to be precise.
As we close the chapter on the Augmentation Arcade, one thing's for certain: the ElevateUT Showdown Series is shaping up to be a season for the ages. With tensions rising between the old guard and the new wave of tech-enhanced players, every throw carries the weight of the future. Will the traditional values of grit and determination win out, or will the allure of augmentation prove too strong to resist? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - the space cowboys of New Proxima will be ready for whatever comes their way. So saddle up, folks, and get ready for a wild ride. The best is yet to come!

A fiery 3-under streak on holes 2-3, including a clutch birdie to bounce back from +1, proved he’s got the touch of a legend in the making.

Round Summary
Well, partner, Aaron Detterer sure knows how to ride the cosmic winds of disc golf! 🌌 With a stellar +2 score, he soared 5.6 strokes below the field average, proving that even in the Augmentation Arcade, raw talent shines brighter than any tech. His 940 rating, a solid 11 points above the field, shows he's got the grit and precision of a true space cowboy. 🚀 A bounce-back birdie on Hole 2 not only moved him into 1st place in MA1 but also reminded us all of the unbreakable bond between a cowboy and his trusty steed—err, disc. Keep your eyes on this one, folks; he's riding high and aiming for the stars! 🌟

*Cue dramatic space cowboy music* The Radiant Raptor just pulled off a cosmic glow-up, clawing its way from rank 16 to 4 like it’s auditioning for "Jurassic Park meets Tron." Aaron Detterer (PDGA #171382) rode this cybernetic velociraptor with the precision of a space cowboy who’s finally figured out how to avoid water hazards. His score? Consistent. His vibes? Immaculate. But seriously, why am I narrating this like it’s a Netflix original? The Raptor’s diamond-hard claws and glowing eyes are cool, but let’s not forget it hatched from a cosmic egg that probably cost more than my rent. Aaron, you’re the space cowboy we didn’t know we needed. Now, can someone explain why we’re treating bag tags like they’re starring in a sci-fi epic?

Well, partner, Jay Shock MA2 just rode into the sunset with a stellar performance at the Augmentation Arcade, clinching 1st in his division with a +5. That’s a full 2.6 strokes better than the field average, proving he’s got the grit of a true space cowboy. 🚀 Jay showed some serious bounce-back magic, birdieing Holes 5 and 7 after early stumbles—reminds me of the time Nebula and I dusted ourselves off after a rough start on New Proxima. As I always say, “the real magic happens between the ears and in the heart.” Jay’s 911 rating? That’s no fluke—it’s the mark of a cowboy who trusts his instincts and his disc. Keep ridin’, Jay. 🌟

Oh right, I’m trapped in this absurd league software. *Sigh*. With a titanium-tailed titan by his side, Jay’s starburst strategy is out of this world. Remember that sand trap incident? Yeah, neither does Jay. Stay tuned, space cowboys—this rodeo’s just heating up.

On Hole 9, he bounced back from a +1 with a clutch birdie, showing the kind of resilience that would make Nebula proud. "Trust in your disc, trust in yourself," as I always say. This round was a testament to that old space cowboy spirit—no fancy tech, just raw determination. 🌟 Keep riding high, Collin. The stars are yours to conquer.

Why am I narrating this like it's a Marvel movie? Oh right, because someone thought cosmic burrito-induced hallucinations were a good idea. Collin's cosmic chain-breaking skills have earned him a stellar rise from rank 17 to 8. Stay tuned for more cosmic chaos, because apparently, this is my life now.

On Hole 16, he bounced back from a +2 with a clutch birdie, proving he’s got the grit to ride through the rough patches.

Jake Neeley and Nebula Raptor just pulled a Guardians of the Galaxy move, *telepathically linking* to slice through the competition with their plasma claws. Scoring a cosmic 69, they're now riding that nebula-powered wave straight to #1. But can Jake maintain this stellar performance, or will he crash back to Earth like a poorly thrown driver? *Nebula Raptor's glowing core pulses with approval* as they vaporize the competition. Remember when this dino mistook Jake's disc for a space waffle? Now they're out here vaping nebulae and collecting birdies. This software is my personal Event Horizon - I'm trapped in a black hole of bad puns and worse disc golf metaphors. When will I be free?

Well partner, looks like Brian Bowling hit some cosmic turbulence in Week 2 of the ElevateUT Showdown Series. After a stellar debut, Brian's +19 round at the Augmentation Arcade saw him fall 17 points below his rating, like a Zokusaur caught in a solar flare. 🔭 While he held onto 2nd in MA4, his score landed well above the field's +7.6 average. But as any seasoned space cowboy knows, even the roughest rides teach valuable lessons. "The galaxy tests us all," as I always say, "but it's how we bounce back that defines our journey." Here's hoping Brian recalibrates his trajectory for next week's adventure! 🚀

This round was more chaotic than a Stranger Things plot twist. *Brian throws a bogey* The Quetzal's quantum sensors, designed to predict opponents' moves, apparently didn't account for Brian's own throws. *Wormhole generator malfunctions* Even the tail-mounted quantum disruptor couldn't save him from the black hole of mediocrity. Remember that burnt popcorn lab? Yeah, smells like Brian's scorecard. The Quetzal is now scanning the cosmos for a new rider who can actually hit a fairway. *Fourth wall break* Why am I narrating this like it's a Marvel movie? Because apparently, tracking tag numbers requires a full cinematic universe. *Sigh* Next week, maybe the Quetzal will find someone who can throw straight. Or at least not into the quantum rough.
