“I hate this part.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAJDgpJxWm
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lb2x6JYSF
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWkHmstV5e
“Rhim!”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzBpRY81IC
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyREoijPD7a
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOGfgqVO7c
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGGTOugJWw
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYHGdVSjlc
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BTtXhrUBN
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKWraGfIiT
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdldT9yrE2
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNB77z2tdW
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xvYGNjnuy
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGKm0PmxsA
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciUWNOA6O8
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIRTHIQI85
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68nSvn1jAG
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaH0oeuWuE
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsbvXhmpZW
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h3WY04KmZ
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnMwmP0tKL
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKcWHkzfkt
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3C5Vx4fYQ
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSwaIYMhMo
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4HtB8QQVF
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmqFdNH0wh
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Kst6JmLR
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNN1pc59IY
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Up5587FxA
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEobEApklMR
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfiD8UYoAB
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R9zLJF3VJ
“In three... two... one... Mark!”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadlxpXiymd
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKaTwQKIEn
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vV5tfJ0lh
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7wshTWKUt
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hYF15lpUg
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMLprV6GAa
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mqRs9lEl1
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfydvswPrG
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucPiTFu4ht
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqE9QToBtL
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR47g2Kgj2
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPeK36PLsh
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9DDlH4mRj
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnKeBDNiOB
more and then impact was finally made...317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyPchpA7wi
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2OGC724St
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN5uW8GgZ8
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f3Fkc6H8E
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u3NLljPY2
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCj1g9teW7
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzzsErj6VM
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyy8EUMKOM
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc823mmo7w7
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoq9U8vSs9
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
