[hr]

Samantha was tired and sore. Her body was starting to feel the bruising from the gunshots she had taken. She would heal rapidly enough but now that her endorphins had stopped dulling the pain, she knew the abuse she had put her body through. The op had been high intensity fighting and running and now that the worst was over her adrenaline had stopped pumping. With that came the adrenaline crash. She had started towards Skye when she had told them the bridge was out and to route around that she would retrieve the core. Samantha began scanning for a way over the ravine. She spotted a section of the ravine that the avalanche had flowed into. It had created a nice little bridge. The ATV should be able to climb it even though it was on its last legs. She began to move towards it. She was glad they wouldn’t have to walk out. Frigga was hurt and she knew she couldn’t carry her giant friend. She wouldn’t leave her behind but getting out an unconscious Frigga would be tough. She would figure out a way though. [color=ec008c]“Hold on Frigga this might get bumpy.”[/color] 

She eased the ATV towards the debris pile. She expected some bumps as the fall settled further and was compressed by the ATV’s crossing. The ATV rocked from side to side and dropped a few feet as its weight compressed the snow, rock, gravel, and dirt beneath the heavy machine. She winced when she heard some heavy grinding noises. She hoped it held till they got across. She forgot about the rear compartment connected like a train car. The grinding noise was the coupler for the car under stress. Samantha was going slow with a little caution since she had time. They were about halfway across when Skye’s panicked voice came over the comms as she was yelling into the comms. 

[color=lightblue]"Team, I'm headed to you, I'm being chased....fuck, fuck fuck, she's me, the operative's me! Chaos, find whatever way you can to disable her electronics, exo and that forcefield, anything at all, Frigga, just fucking coat everything in fire and brimstone, get personal and rip her to bits if you have to once that's down! There is way too much shit to say right now, just put everything down onto her! She's got moves, I'll hold her as long as I can, she has way, way better kit than us!"[/color]

Samantha didn’t pause for a second as she punched the accelerator. Adrenaline was once more flooding through her. Anything that could scare Skye Lions made her anxious and fearful as hell. She was also very determined that she wouldn't loose another family member. She did think of Skye and Freya as sisters she never had. [color=ec008c][i]Samantha's thoughts were Not today! Not on my watch! I am not loosing anyone else! Bring it![/i][/color] The ATV lurched and rocked heavily side to side. The speed made it rock harder as it was still in motion before hitting the next uneven patch. They were almost to the other side when there was a huge crashing screeching sound of tearing metal. The rear compartment went over the side, falling down into the ravine. The rear compartment tore away from the front part of the ATV. The bad news was they just lost their rear guns and maybe some armor on the rear of the ATV. The good news was they now weighed less and were moving faster. The ATV was now across the ravine. Samantha was moving towards Skye as fast as the ATV would allow. Samantha said [color=ec008c]“Bob start scanning the environment. Give me the quickest route to Queen.”[/color] 

Samantha used every trick she had ever learned to maneuver the ATV into an intercept course so they could pick up their leader. She followed the path highlighted for her by her AI. Her focus was on getting them there while she trusted Freya to handle the recon and provide distant support for Queen.
