The sound of fighting woke him up. Sitting up in the pilot's seat, he sat up and yawned.

Being asleep while piloting a helicopter was normally an act tantamount to suicide, but Alto was special. He had his left hand on the console, Theo piloting the helicopter for him while he got some much needed sleep. He'd been up all night coding his new right arm and some extra programs for Theo. Speaking of his right arm...

[b]"Hey Con, on a scale of 1 to 10, how functional are you right now?"[/b]

[b][colour=yellowgreen]"What do you mean, master?"[/colour][/b] Con replied in his mind.

Being called 'master' sort of left a bad taste in his mouth. Bad enough that Con sounded by a little girl, what did that say about his tastes? He hadn't known he was that weird.

He looked back at his other passangers, Bloodrune and Cypress. Bloodrune had a super-soaker type thing full of his blood which was handy, and Cypress was looking out onto the scene blow, but both looked slightly scared. Alto had fallen asleep on them, after all, and he was their pilot. Also, they probably thought he was slightly insane, mainly because they couldn't really hear Con or Theo.

Weird tastes aside, they were at Aperture HQ now, and they were here to help.

[b]"Theo, plot a course to land the chopper a little bit out from the walls, and leave it on auto pilot."[/b] Alto said before turning to adress the other two, [b]"I'm dropping you two off pretty soon. Watch out for it."[/b] With that, Alto got up from his pilot seat and opened one of the side doors.

[b]"I'm supposed to be making a distraction in another part of Aperture HQ."[/b] He said over the headsets. [b]"Bloodrune, you need to go and paint as many friendlies as possible, and Cypress, you can just do whatever."[/b]

He stretched a little as he relished the feeling of the wind, and then he took off his headset before letting himself fall forward and out of the chopper. As he fell the helicopter continued to drive itself over the friendly lines.

[b]"Theo!"[/b] Alto called as he fell, [b]"Activate Magic Carpet!"[/b]

[b][color=thistle]"Yes, Emperor!"[/color][/b]

Suddenly, his left arm glowed, and a glowing blue rectangle of energy appeared beneath him. As he hit it, the energy bent beneath him and dampened his fall.

[b]"Ah, it works!"[/b] Alto said.

He looked up at the carnage that lay ahead of him, mentally rehearsing his roles.

[b]"Welp,"[/b] He said finally. [b]"Time to do some damage."[/b]
