The members of Expedition Team KV-73 had received their brief the night prior by a rather prominent and decorated veteran of the Wild World, General Richard. It was unusual for one of his stature to come out and give a brief personally, but this expedition was different. Instead of sending a team on a specific mission to search, scout, or gather a specific thing, KV-73 was to be flown to Outpost ZT-141, 'Treehouse' and upon landing, mount up on pre-staged and pre-equipped Duvari to travel deep into uncharted territory. Their mission, to investigate a strange beam of light seen deep in the Wilds past the Treehouse. It was a dangerous mission and one that was truly not to standard code as nothing like this phenomenon has ever been reported in the past. This could be a breakthrough in the fight against the monsters, or a new threat come to upset the current balance. Either way Humanity needed a brave group of souls to go above and beyond the call of duty to investigate.

Today was the big day and as everybody came together on the busy and noisy landing pad each and every soul present knew that it was show time. Personal supplies were distributed before the flight and as everyone on the team was issued a survival pack containing a personal multi-environmental tent, spark stick, close-ranged team-band radio sets, sleeping pad with folding cot, an advanced medical field kit, Rugged wear flashlight, mess kit, emergency tarp, and an omni-tool with shovel, pick, ax, and hammer attachments. In addition all of the team's personal gear was loaded up and made ready to travel.

After their gear came themselves, boarding the helicopters as the heavy winds from the rotors beat down against them. Yet as each member braved the winds and came together on one helicopter they'd find themselves sitting side by side, and across from the ones who'd be watching their backs, guiding their steps, and making sure that everybody made it back home safe.

As the whir of the helicopters engines began to swell and the feeling of gravity pulled down on everybody inside the ground grew farther and farther away. Before long the walls of Anselmo flew by beneath them and that was it. They've entered the Wild World and were well on their way into the unknown.

Not one to keep an awkward silence Jake Cross, the leader of this Expedition Team spoke up over the helicopter's radios, [color=lightgreen]"I don't know about you guys. But I'm excited. This is something nobody has ever done. We're blazing trails to something that's never been seen before."[/color] Taking a minute to let that thought sink in he keyed back over the net to ask, [color=lightgreen]"Anybody nervous? I sure as shit am!"[/color]
