Hey, you've been pretty reliable for awhile. Everyone needs breaks now and then, plus it's nigh impossible to update every day so consistently for a long time. Even PW missed some updates. And most Heph updates.
Take as long as you need, we can wait.
Your too kind so have an update. One where I'm not writing it at 11 PM and barely conscious. Hurrah.
Completely miss briefing, keep sleeping on the way there.
You slumber through the increasingly loud yelling of the speaking spook to wake. Barelly stirring when in desperation he starts firing his pistols into the ceiling. Eventually the spook gives up and motions for Groo to carry you into the plane. You awaken suddenly as a gruff man unceremoniously shoves you out of plane with Groo coming right after you. You watch as Groo suddenly appears along side you his eyes squeezed shut as he focuses on the herculean task of counting to three.
ONE
.
TWO
he pauses momentarily as he seems to summon some deep reserve of strength.
THREE! he happily exclaims as he pulls the rip cord and is seemingly yanked up wards. You yourself pull your rip cord as well, wincing as the parachutes straps pull against your bruised ribs.
Groo ready!
Mcfuckyou ready.
I'm just gonna assume Damian is ready.
The plane you are in is a C-47 Skytrain You all vibrate slightly from the shudders of the poo engines and listen to the scream of the engines. Your gear's clink together from the straps attached to your parachute as you all stare at the glowing red light. Seeing that you are over your target the pilots flip a switch and and the light switches to green as an inspirational
song comes over the speaker. The sergeant stands up and opens the door, you all slightly wince as the icy wind cuts into your exposed face. One by one each member jumps out of the door their silk canopies opening far below. Finally Rufferto securely wrapped and strapped into a blanket is pushed out of the door. His parachute opening automatically from the altimeter strapped to it. You all land on the large platform at the front entrance of the base. Strangely the base seems to be lacking the runway you typically see on these things, must be an older model. The base is a massive partly metal partly floating rock structure. It appears to be partially hidden in clouds as everywhere you look milky white surrounds you. There are to be numerous Zeppelin tethers attached to the rock. Holdovers from an earlier age it seems. It's laid out so that you all landed on a flat metal outcropping marked with a massive white X on it. Your guessing that it was probably the platform for parachutist and a marker for Fulton systems. At the far end of the outcropping of metal there is the front door of the base it's painted in a patriotic American flag. Seems that the scientists had a lot of time on their hands.
Groo frees Rufferto from his blanket imprisonment and he seems a bit skittish.
