Zietboro looks at the time remaining on the topographical download and decides to shut it down.
-0.5% Power Not worth the juice, we can always do it later.. She looks up through the top hatch at Rolf and bangs on the hull with her fist.
Hey Rolf! Get your butt inside we're taking off! He grumbles and slides back into the turret, pulling the hatch closed behind him.
Zietboro presses her face to her periscope.
Okay Yul.. Gimme forward acceleration, steady as she goes pal. He mutters an expletive,
Roger, and kicks the accelerator, jamming the stick into gear with one fist setting the tank rolling down the road.
Arriving at the edge of the city, you see that you're coming up on an economical district. All the cities are entirely made up of fat towers the size of city blocks, averaging about 200 meters in height, but the public commercial towers are much thinner and of far more interesting shapes and shades (all government approved) than the dull grey squares that make up the rest of the city. The buildings are collected in tight clusters with space for walking, every fifth story of every structure interconnected by a geometric lattice of glass footbridges, and larger spans that rival the highways stretch high over the city streets tying each cluster to it's neighboring clusters. The entire district is more than a dozen kilometers squared.

A no-nonsense professional of the armored corps, Zietboro's a lady of average looks and brown hair shoved underneath a CVC helmet. She's a serious stickler at making sure her crew regular change their socks, but is always found wearing the same set of coveralls, held together more with thread and repair jobs than original fabric at this point.

Of average height and his build borders on fat, but with just a hint of muscle that shows that is isn't as weak as he seems to be. He has short black hair, a short black beard, and beady, blue eyes. He can usually be seen wearing a faded blue uniform with a vast array of medals pinned to his breast, which is odd because most of his medals seem to be handmade out of solder and scrap iron. His uniform has also been altered slightly, so that he has plenty of pockets to hide bits and pieces in. To top off his look, he has a faded blue, wide-brim hat on his head.
