A small plane, or a helicopter if we can get our hands on one," the quartermaster told the team, raising his voice as the rear doors opened, and the team moved into position in front of it."Go, go, go," shouted the quartermaster, as the plane passed over the drop site, hustling Team Libra out of the back of the plane, and sending the equipment drop after them.Team Libra hit the silk, dropping out of the back of the plane. A bit amateurishly, but successfully. Five parachutes deployed on time, slowing their descent, and giving them time to get a good view of the land below. The old base was visible to the west, located in a valley, a scar on the earth. Specific details were impossible to make out as the sun started to vanish below the horizon.After several minutes, they slowly landed in the field. Safely and unharmed, but scattered a significant distance from each other. A minute later, and the gear drop from the plane touched down at the edge of the field. A smoke grenade and flare detonated automatically, signaling its position, and giving the team a rallying point. They were four miles west of their final objective. The sun was beginning to set, casting the field into the gloom of twilight.Team Libra was very far from home, the deep snow and ice, the colors and the solitude made it seem almost as if they were on alien planet or another dimension.</blockquote>
