*Flips on a pair of goggles*
Then it's time to tear down some silos.
*Jumps off the side and descends slowly with arms and legs sprawled in each direction, suspended by an apparent wire connected to my back*

@Webmaster

*With my gun in hand, I hop over the railing after you, rapidly dropping past you in a free fall with my coattails flapping behind me as I go*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

To see if anyone's down there!

@Webmaster

You can go. I don’t know what level the sound came from, though.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

...Meet you at the bottom?

@Webmaster

Why the bottom?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*smiles*
Thank you.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*checks over the ledge with while switching different visions to see what is at the bottom*

@Galvanize

*The floor of the silo is largely empty, being a flat metallic surface, split in two in the familiar pattern of black and white down the middle*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

You don't think they followed us, do you?

@Webmaster

...
*Backs away from the ledge and thinks*
No, I wouldn't imagine so.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Jumps off reactively, and the skateboard tumbles into the abyss below*
What was that!?

@Webmaster

*Places the bottom of the pistol on my forearm and peaks over the ledge, projecting a shield forward in front of me while looking*
I don't see anything...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Yep! I've got you figured out to. A. Tee.

@Webmaster

This is a lo-
*Some distant gunshots echo through the silo, coming from somewhere below us, and I snap to attention the moment I hear it*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Follows your gaze*
Oh, I get it.
*Does a hop onto the railing and starts grinding while looking down the silo*

@Webmaster

*The drop from the railing easily appears to be several hundred feet or more, with the bottom being a barren, flat metallic floor*
Do you?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Often enough to make it fun.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

You drew it.

@Galvanize

I like the answer.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*After a moment of quiet, pulls out a skateboard and starts shredding*
Want one?

@Webmaster

Next time.
*Looks down over the railing*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

I’m curious if you ever find out.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Big ones?

@Galvanize

I wonder how often you expose that particular secret.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

What kinds of bombs would they even use in a place like this??

@Webmaster

I do say “usually”. But if you guys have never launched a missile or anything from here, then it might be something else.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Uhhhhhh I don't. Do you?

@Webmaster

Not from here. Silos like this, of this size, are usually for ballistics.
