[QUOTE="talien, post: 4288612, member: 3285"] [b]Hot Air: Part 1 – Now Boarding Indianational[/b] The Resolution, a new Majestic-12 aircraft, was amazingly quiet. Even inside the small troop compartment, the engine was nothing but a low hum. Like some kind of lamprey attaching itself to a whale, the Resolution’s pneumatic arm pressurized itself against the hull of the Indianational plane. The plane barely pitched as it connects and stabilizes its air speed. The pilot gave Hammer a thumbs up. He unsealed the hatch above, disrupting the pervasive silence inside the Resolution with the roar of two planes thousands of feet in the air. Above them was a rope ladder and ten feet of space between the Resolution and the Indianational. Hammer snapped his breathing mask on and turned to Guppy. “Go!” It took a moment for Guppy to realize Hammer was addressing him. He snapped on his own mask, unbuckled himself and began making the rapid crawl up to the aircraft’s bottom entry hatch. Suddenly, red lights flashed around the edges of the tube near the hatch of both planes and a low, urgent beeping barely pierced the screaming wind outside. Hammer shouted from below, “We’re hitting turbulence!” Guppy hooked his cistron up to the cargo bay door. He tapped furiously on it. There were safeguards in place that would alert the pilot to an open door, especially when in mid-air. The beeping became more insistent. “We’re losing the seal!” shouted Hammer. “What the hell are you doing up there?” “I’m working as fast as I can!” shouted Guppy. “It doesn’t help when you yell—“ There was a wrenching sound as the seal began to lose suction. “GET UP THERE NOW!” shouted Hammer. Guppy’s cistron beeped. He wrenched the lever open. Wind tore through the umbilical between the two jets. Guppy tossed his technical kit through the opening into the cargo bay and then clambered in after it. Hammer was right on his heels when the seal gave way. Guppy lunged forward, grabbing hold of the clips that held Hammer in his seat’s webbing on the Resolution. Hammer strained as the roar of the outside tore at him. The seal hung limply for a second and in the roaring wind Guppy could make out the Resolution’s black form looming below them like a bird of prey. Hammer clawed his way into the Indianational jet just as Guppy wrenched the door closed. The two agents lay on the floor, trying to catch their breath. Eventually, Hammer unbuckled the breathing mask. “Now that the hard part’s over, it’s all up from here.” Guppy didn’t laugh. [/QUOTE]
