“I hate this part.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxPKxvC6QR
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4h0fYZkk7
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNK5itcq7n
“Rhim!”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4tMkbYvLk
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK3u6FKXhT
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4vQoeULCQ
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cBz127N8M
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI4WYjfb3c
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWCmjX2Nto
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS8wBLJU2F
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgdPxnqJ3v
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhJVOgQewR
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNk9EmlsQH
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBbxUath0g
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajxYB8lciy
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8gSouAaA2
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPkhTRhfBL
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s8QFeaJao
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVulBdK0L50
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcfZVQFwG1
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktL3PhTfP4
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGu7Daisnj
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9HanwFZuE
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡossgT9Hshj
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡendIVmsbjG
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5KdWZywRo
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN72XGNKV7
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahp4VHDaRh
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaLHpg9GTx
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO48qXpdif
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizKcvgm4MW
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S36mvESZ7
“In three... two... one... Mark!”401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg2z0yeEnY
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurzhRW3ig2
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSU5SFhxxS
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYUfhYfys3
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhuVnYAS0U
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrpyPpQt3s
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoFwTLGvyd
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwjH0vxW4W
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJdNDmLhZR
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoGaksnKUi
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRoiS5pwb4
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnOYp4avyU
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhS17OSJwC
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfjPr1jaaj
more and then impact was finally made...401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg77Dkt9LF
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzoJc5C6C9
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89KzHTKFxH
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoArMRvJAu1
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO5d5UJ0Sa
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU34itGsZ6b
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQkTLscwnx
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl07MRocKIC
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASDUuJMMlY
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8g8VhqvZw
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
