Chapter Four: Fork In The Road
-
Apollo looked at Jack. “It’s better if I go. I can’t stay here. You have more experience than me.”
-
Katherine nodded confused. Rose looking at Jack and Apollo weirdly. “So…when are we going?”
-
“I’m already in your suit. I’m going. I’ll contact you. Come on, Rose. We’re going now. Turn on the little button on your boots, we can’t park in the atmosphere, they might see us. We’re close enough to the orbit, so we’re…jetpacking in.” Jack pushed Apollo out, closing the air seal.
“Go! I’ll be fine.” Jack blew a sarcastic kiss, turning to Rose.
“You ready?”
-
Apollo pulled Jack out of the starfighter. “I’m stepping down as leader. I guess we don’t have a leader now unless you want to make things right.”
-
Faye goes with Geralt and looks at the weapons, then looking at Geralt’s sad face. “Hey, you okay?” She pets his ears a little, “Don’t be so down! Apollo will make a great leader!”
-
Rose did as told, still confused, though she found Apollo and Jack’s interactions hilarious.
-
Apollo shrugged and went to mission control. “Jack, come in. Look in your parachute compartment. There’s your mission suit. I’ll go down there with Pandora in a bit, we might not meet up though, we have to destroy the radar. Geralt and Faye are going to work the ship, which has a designated location to land on, out of OGA radar reach afterwards. Good job.”

“I’m gonna open the air seal into space. We’re going to be jetted out, wait three seconds and then squeeze the little bars on the palms of your gloves. It’ll turn on the rocket jets to your boots. We’re going to propel ourselves into the planet. After that, I’ll use a transmatter, the other one’s on board the Betty. Get ready.” Jack put his hand over the door button, looking at Rose. He nodded, counting to three in his head. He put on his helmet, making sure Rose did the same. He counted to three, hitting the button. The door opened up, Rose and Jack suddenly launched out into the cold abyss of space, speeding towards the ugly brownish planet.
-
Jack shouted in exhilaration, Rose hearing it through the comm.
“Major Tom to Apollo, can you hear me?” He said, laughing at the enormous speed he was travelling.
“You doing okay, Rose?” He said, looking at her through his helmet, watching her flying like a bullet.
-
Rose let out a little scream as she launched out into space, counting to three and completing the instructions, her heart a bit out of control. “Plan?” She asked Jack.
-
<p style=”text-align: left;”>”Plan? We land onto the planet, when we get into the atmosphere we turn on the parachutes, and then we go to the location of his base on our minimap. Once we scout around, I turn on my Transmatter, us safely transporting back onto Betty. Turn on your boosters now, and make sure to stay head-on with the planet.” <i>Jack said, turning them on and jetting slightly to the left, closer to Rose.</i></p>

Apollo went upstairs. “Faye, Geralt, you are now ship managers. You have full control of the ship, I trust you guys. Pandora and I will go down and disable the OGA radar, we’ll need the putty. Once I give the comm signal, you must land in the designated spot, which coordinates I will tap to you, Geralt. Pandora, there’s a mission suit that just fabricated for you downstairs. We’re going in the black panel box, and we’ll mirror back up.” Apollo then ran downstairs and prepared the black box. “The original plan requires no new updates. Malice, you are task manager. Make sure Faye and Geralt are doing their roles. Old plan is flawed.”
-
*Pandora went down and pulled on the suit then went back up and looked around before walking over to Apollo*”Im ready”.
-
Rose nodded, keeping an eye on Jack nervously. “I have to fight back the instinct to use my wings. Its proving quite difficult.”
