8-Ball yanked the black tarp that laid in the back middle of the shuttle. He quickly moved to the pilot seat and settled himself down. His head attached to the ship with a wire and his seemingly lifeless body sat in the chair. It was his version of "Manually" flying the ship. A simple "[color=f7941d]Roger Captain[/color]" could be heard over the comms, before a short burst of electronic scrambling came through. It was 8-Ball's transfer that caused a minor disruptions in electronic devices. It was enough to even turn off the shuttle for, leaving the team in the dark. Lucky for them in came on in just a few seconds. Then the relieving sounds of the Grav-engines began to purr, slowly lifting the team up. Now 8-Ball's voice echoed through the ship, using the speakers of the ship instead of his own body. "[color=f7941d]Captain, I brought the Anti Air Light Machine Gun. I've assumed we plan to keep the avian alive, but if it comes to it the 15mm rounds should take it down. Alternately you could just aim for its wing's and just scare it off.[/color]". The shuttle began to head upwards and the rear hatch opened up, leaving a clear shot for the weapon to fire at anything behind it. He obviously couldn't keep it down forever, in just a few minutes they would need to be breaking the planet's atmosphere. Hopefully losing the Bird in it.
