“I hate this part.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkKlVKJBox
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXOd0Q6ni3
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2Le82xW1x
“Rhim!”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDJaxSvMhq
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3htj9sQUM
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkV6zJrC0Z
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXYmXEE3n2
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhdWeHsyq7
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJgjM5kpJh
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJT3Gi4BUS
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7ctDZc3bR
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI1yohKzhO
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngf7IrfQFE
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClVQo0qMKN
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81dsH0W7WW
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY2XRv93ZW
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD3XDLmVhk
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKLXOuvju8
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYPN15r5Uy
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNDP61yB6l
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ967FVpDF7K
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDGgX60nXR
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFxgQjWDeL
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStvP0vhpnb
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2F2VImKYW
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgSEbShJtx
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60oWYQ3BLO
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbaUqmcURt
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvZ0aQKjvn
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdLptkTiin
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXFF6ecmuk
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9aTo4Plyp
“In three... two... one... Mark!”210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Iv40EOYOB
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzUpcKOgLf
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqUK5Ziw58
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OqLb37tUY
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZplLrKHZo
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIBcdfho8u
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQBfmxEqVH
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDPLZKMYDy
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoZzLDTbAO
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhyupXP6Wu
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AzhQlnBv6
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mASUcPFwO
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpob7tlBC1r
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytRpBpaRW1
more and then impact was finally made...210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0oV2T2i2y
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FteDU9yBG
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgzibRPIDX
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeRewUdAfn
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLLBly44kQ
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLftl7uWFP0
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PuzOFTqJu
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpazUUEuccZ
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IKZUE44o7
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GvsvttdeZ
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
