Virgil tilts the stick on his shiny new Jet Core Booster back and forth a little as it sails far over the ground... or, at least, presumably far over the ground. Everything below a few thousand feet or so is covered in the swirling mess of one of the many sandstorms rolling over the entire region, so he's having to navigate entirely based on his map and on INS. "Heh... this thing sure beats the old Fly Manta!" His radio crackles as an extremely garbled transmission comes through, and he turns up the volume, taking one hand off the stick and pressing a palm against one ear of his headset in order to pick it up better. "...tank in pos..." *fzzzt* "Sand prev- pr-- nemy facil...*crackle* ...st instruc-- ver." Frowning, Virgil sends back a response. "Stay where you are, I'll get you some coordinates!" Pushing the stick forwards, he increases the throttle a bit as he gooses the Jet Core Booster, and it leaps downwards. However, as soon as he passes into the sand storm, all sorts of nasty engine warning lights start to appear on his HUD, as mass quantities of sand are sucked into his intakes. Hastily pulling his stick back, Virgil ascends out of the mess, though both engines are now coughing and sputtering rather alarmingly, and several of the yellow lights remain. "...or not. Virgil to Team, pull back for now... there's no way we can find the base in this mess, much less attack it." Virgil: 1 days damage |
