“I hate this part.”427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs9xYvI2Gd
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznuMdCJstI
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fDk23CCiS
“Rhim!”427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqWkalgeo8
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pcjhZ4dDG
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hfke6jpJh
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5bl37AToJ
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykGjYHwnis
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A5mkpHdvE
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfovrapMbtF
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iswSNCu8r
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclUTkmSGXr
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4AID6zxKc
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8T40EpLAe
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk6slOnSGJ
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabicy2VIu4
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMmHepS86R
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DfzQcjaD6
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfJzWPrnbM
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB7XUweW5T
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZoAtaMPLQ
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglWgoYF3Gb
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOTZICPrRA
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ0tSjEu3L
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv9NgQnBNh
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeVtqsIOJt
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y2d6kpNW9
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDhPwyd1uh
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ID9AtQAxx
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44yKknJOKc
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbw1zciDhq
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDSKBligVm
“In three... two... one... Mark!”427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK48GkTKIrM
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B5xt9eTCi
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bCD1e8PlI
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSg6WQAuTX
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfMRp1LdX1
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlWUu6tuMi
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1smelwQi9
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCLzjkEJm8
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvcBsjUnPp
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdimSk6Jfx
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpBKRkM6RR
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpa16UebID
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5wLycO8Tl
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMQCp45slV
more and then impact was finally made...427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QXgFG25hT
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIzcaFWtDZ
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0twC7McD7r
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj0ZBjMVqu
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFSTmQvq6k
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZIa1CYGQk
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbdUNDjg3q
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn4TaidSzd
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hLhPL1FAN
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0UJ2SseSv
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfX6t76ucW
