Leaving the armoury with her bundle of gear, Ellena fires of a quick message. <<Text @ Nico : Calm down! You're giving me the creeps with your pessamistic muttering. Just remember your job, do your job and trust that we'll do ours! If you don't, I'ma gonna pump you full of something that will do it for you!>>

She returns to her bunk and carefully repacks her trauma gear. Next she field strips, cleans, lubricates and reassembles her three weapons. Next she loads the pistol with a subsonic clip and stows the remainder in the holster rig. She loads the Sternopal with AP rounds, adds the remaining mag to her webbing and finally latches the SPAS-22 to the side of the burgen containing the med supplies.

Fully kitted up against the cold she joins the others staring at the bizarre and expensive looking transport planes. They look mighty shiney! Ever so slightly nicer than the piece of drek helis I was jumping out of for CrashCart. Just try to stop drooling, eh Vik? Which one are the team on?

[Thrass]

Should I make myself familiar with the gunnery system or shall I leave that up to you: Nico,Victor?

Butcher walked around the planes and made himself familiar with the weapons systems.

I trained drops from up to 20 meters without a chute.
If we need to drop hot maybe I should be first.
When buying hits I can negate up to 19 meters of falling damage if I didn't mess up the math.

[Kouryuu]

Red approaches the Landing zone just as the plans are about to Land. All geared up and ready to go. the team was already half way on board as he finally reached the plane. Majestic, these two birds were in his mind. he touched the outer skin of the one he was supposed to board. ... Bring us in silently,keep us safe and bring us out alive ... He called on the spirit of the machine or more precisely he calmed his spirit before boarding a plan the "I heard you have a similar skill set to mine, what do you think we should do when arriving, should we first do recon or set up shop hoping there are no ambushes hidden in the woods?" He laughed slightly on that part as he knew they would and could not risk not checking first, one of the reasons why he had already installed both activsofts he had asked in the armory and tested them in the short period he had. "Will you join me on the way down with a parachute? any other ideas for the approach?" You could see Red was a bit nervous, maybe even better so as at least he started to talk to the team, at least the one member of the team he felt the most connected, if only because of similar specialization.

Looking toward the man with the heavy replacement, Viktor gives a nod and says, "It never hurts to have others familiar with the vehicle weapons systems, so feel free." With that he boards the main aircraft and proceeds toward the cockpit where he takes a seat in the pilot's chair and plugs his datajack into the vehicle to familiarize himself with this particular vehicle.

[Nathen]

Nico Boards the second craft and takes a few minutes to ensure that adequate medical supplies, rations, and the correct gear have been loaded onto the plane. moving to the drones he checks if the weaponry has been attached correctly and whether or not the drones are already loaded and that a supply of extra ammo for them is available. Jacking into the plane he runs a diagnostic on it and the four drones to ensure everything is well internally, while that runs he loads each of his weapons leaves the pistol up front and puts the other two into the closet available locker, when the diagnostic finishes he encrypts the planes node and the 4 drones,

"Here we go..."

As the information for the main transport comes across his vision, Viktor quickly scans over each item, nodding at the result of each check and finally settles back into a more relaxed position in the pilot's seat as he sinks into VR control of the plane.

[Thrass]

After mechanically checking the guns which he was granted access too, he made some software analysis on them and was pleased to see that everything is in order.
If checks are wanted or needed I'll provide them.

Butcher then entered the plance and chose a place near the loading ramp to sit down.

Let's roll out. Hals und Beinbruch!

[HydroRaven]

Fisher takes his gear and makes his way into the plane. "Let's just do it" he answers in response to Butcher's comment. He gets past Nina and her caged fenrir, finds a comfortable seat and straps himself in for takeoff. He then calmly closes his eyes, thinking over the details of his imminent summoning ritual, trying to figure out the what, when and how of it all.

[Bewilderbeast]

After a moment of hesitation, Omeed boarded up with the others, checking over his SPAS shotgun thoroughly before taking a seat next to Fisher. "Let's do this, comrades," Omeed said cheerily and with what he hoped sounded like confidence. "Fisher and I will likely be preoccupied summoning and binding spirits in-flight. Please let us know if you need anything from us beforehand."

Omeed directed his attention to Fisher. While he wasn't sure he had his priorities straight (who thinks of Urban Brawl at a time like this?), he was glad to see that Fisher seemed deep in concentration, perhaps even beginning his summons. At least when the moment for action came, the man was focused. "What spirit are you planning on bringing? I'm thinking a homunculus... pardon me, a spirit of man, in the general parlance. Concealing our movements should serve us well if we need to place boots on the ground."

[HydroRaven]

"Man?" asks Fisher, turning around with a smile on his face. "I'm going for fire myself, seems like an obvious choice. Fire is to snow as rock is to scissors, right mate" continues Fisher while giving a slight elbow nudge to Omeed. "Hopefully things'll go smoothly with all this summoning. There's an old bushmen saying that goes something like "you don't call a fire spirit in the middle of a grass field" or something to that effect. Let's just hope this isn't the wrong place to be doing this, right?"

[Aryeonos]

The rushing sound of ompressed liquid hydrogen filling uo the fuel bladders stopped with a clunk.Communications chatter filled the airfield personel's headphones as they reeled in the fueling hose and backed their sevice vehicles away. Sidi quickley jogged up the boarding ramp through the cargo room and took a seat in the CC room.
"Closee up those ramps and get these birds in the air and to their first waypoint!"
The pilot`s AR displays projected the ground personel's green signs. Each craft`s onboard pilots gently reminded them to buckle in and close up the ingress hatches,  projecting AROs over the controls to help orient the pilots to the control scheme.

[All4BigGuns]

As the service vehicles pull to a safe distance from 'his' plane, Viktor 'jumps' into the control system of the craft and closes the hatches before starting the engines and after a few moments lifting off the ground.


AROs nothing. I'm going full-bore into this thing and 'jumping in'

[Bewilderbeast]

Omeed flashed a smile at Fisher as he snapped his restraints into place. "This is saying I quite like. I will have to remember it." He readied himself for flight, watching Victor with polite interest as he worked.

[Ernie55]

Ellena followed Sidi up the ramp of the passenger plane, stowed her trauma gear and weapons in a storage locker and then strapped herself in tightly. Watching Viktor go limp as his mind entered the virtual world was always slightly disconcerting, but Ellena was sure that he would have much greater control directly interfacing with the control systems.

With the noise in flight it might be better to switch to Comms whilst on route. What's the current estimated flight time?
