Chapter Four: Fork In The Road
-
“Okay~” Malice says as she goes over to Faye and Geralt.
-
“Jack to Apollo, don’t go onto the planet! We’d be sacrificing more lives than necessary in case we fail, I repeat, don’t go onto the planet.” He said, slightly annoyed by Apollo’s persistent antics to try to butt in.
-
Before Malice arrives, Geralt says to Faye I’ll tell you after some time….
Geralt notices Mailce walking up to him and Faye as he is uncovering the trap door to the weapons stash. Hello there Malice. How are you faring?
-
Faye looks over at Malice, shaking her head… Why did Apollo trust her? What if she lost her damn mind again!? She looks down, checking that her weapon was holstered and ready, just in case.
-
“Change of plan! We’re going to wait for Jack to come back. I’m just worried about you two, Jack.”
-
“Thank god.” Jack said, relieved that Apollo wouldn’t go through with it.
“Rose, you okay? Turn on your boosters.” Jack said, watching Rose go without them.
-
Rose shook her head, “I can actually use my wings to speed up and slow down, no need for the boosters.”
-
“ok”, Pandora said shrugging she leaned against the closest wall and waited for other orders.
-
Malice looks at Geralt “Good~”
-
Apollo spoke to Rose. “Your wings are beneficial to traversing the terrain. Jack is effectively your meat shield, as long as you’re able to carry him. But 200 pounds of muscle is not easy to haul around. Basically, watch each other’s backs. Be sure to send back enough data, and don’t tangle.”
-
Andaluza tapped Apollo. “Hey, I’ll go down with you. I’ll transfer the map of the OGA base to you.” Andaluza smashed his head against Apollo’s, shaking both of their heads electrically, splitting the map memory to both of them.
-
Rose responded, “I know, but I don’t believe I’ll be using Mr. Human like that anytime soon.”
-
Apollo was about to reply but was knocked into the wall by Andaluza’s head. “Thanks for the map.” Apollo stood up again, using the desk for support, then spoke to Rose. “When will you be back, approximately?”
-
As Rose felt herself enter the atmosphere she replied, “In about two hours, maybe.”
-
<i>They were approaching orbit, falling faster and faster. They flew into the atmosphere, starting to burn up. Jack was glad Apollo made them heat-proof, as it would hurt significantly if they were not. Once the clouds were visible from afar, Jack shouted over the comms.</i>
“Alright, hit your parachute!”
