Wrath of Darkness

@Deos Morran
Threw out a quick "I'm ready" post, hope you don't mind that it came right after my other post haha

Wrath of Darkness

Reed eyed the craft happily and with a smirk. Grumpy old Johnson just gave him an epic craft... right after yelling at him, which he didn't mind much, he was a bit of a jokester and had a laughing skull bandana he'd wear during the mission. He expected to be yelled at. In the end, Reed took the victory silently, eyeing the craft. "Is it plasma propelled? That would be something else!" He said enthusiastically, excited to fly the vehicle. He knew that plasma propulsion was a big deal back in the Old World. The lack of guns was a little disappointing, but he supposed the others would enjoy having Gatlings in their hands before they landed. Little confidence boost if anything, and they'd probably be more accurate than he would be while he was piloting.

Gear wise, Reed enjoyed himself. He went with his SM8 and H-8, which he had specifically modified for him and which he had brought with him. Reed was an expert with those guns as those were the only guns he ever trained with, ever. He was a pilot, he didn't have to worry about knowing how to use all the other guns. Just the two that might keep him alive until rescue if he crashed. He would use his flight helmet and his field helmet, as well as a ballistic weave forest Multicam BDU with a MultiCam plate carrier. They would both be good at absorbing teeth and claws and blending in, so to speak. Last was the standard survival pack, with all of its goodies. After a shower, he was ready to do.

Reed was still smiling about Spook calling out Nathan when Jake gave everyone a brief lecture on what to call him. "Will do, Jake," Reed replied, understanding why the man wanted to be called by his name rather than some robotic title. He wondered what Jake would say to Reed if he was to be given... a... fun nickname. Reed set the craft down with the thought and gave away the bird to the Treehouse soldiers. It was a nice machine, and he was sad to see it go. With any luck, Treehouse had something better, they were about to go out and face something never before seen. Which appeared as he pondered the thought. Reed shielded his eyes at first when the beam quite literally cut through the sky. It was something which he had never witnessed before, the closest thing he could come up with was the laser on his SM8.

"There is no way that is a natural event. Aliens! Has to be aliens. First monsters, now aliens." Reed said after observing the spear of light, which had taken everyone by surprise it seemed, even the people who had seen it before. "Johnson, do we know if there are creatures near it? Does it repel or attract? Anything?" Reed made a note to bring a plate carrier with extra 50-round 5.8x32mm SM8 mags. The round was slightly longer than the 5.7x28mm because it had a longer and slightly wider penetrator. This was able to happen because of advancement in gunpowder technology. He really didn't like the thought of being out there with whatever made that light. But what if it was friendly?

@Deos Morran
Sounds good man, can't wait to start!

Wrath of Darkness

@Deos Morran
Well, then I recommend a small VTOL like the one used in Avatar or the Falcon in Halo, something like that.

@Deos Morran
Make it like the fallout 4 airship, with a helo bay at the bottom and all.

Wrath of Darkness

@Deos Morran
Do say do say! What's the new craft gonna be?

Wrath of Darkness

@Deos Morran
I like this idea! So Reed would go to ground with everyone else or stay in the air and give support/guidance etc?

Wrath of Darkness

So lets keep this moving guys!

Wrath of Darkness

At this rate the team will be experiencing turbulence... and it won't be because of the air they're flying through!
