MutantHigh Episode 4: Deadzone

[Robbert Raets]

"Not being forced to kiss your own butt?"

"See what I mean? But what did you want me to link us for?"

 

[Radiant]

"Ah, where's the fun in following?" Asked Jack with a smirk.

"While traveling over south america it allways pay to be carefull, for some reasons most of the countries here are armed to the teeth and shoot down planes that appear there they don't belong."
For a moment there are more controls lighting up and some holographic displays suround Jack.
"But once you know all about this thing you can fly right into their backyards without them noti..."
Truth voice is cut of and as quick as it started all the lights in the plane go out and you can no longer here the soft whining of the engines. From one moment to the next the Reaper transformed into a dead piece of metal. A dead piece of metal still flying at twice the speed of sound. For nearly three seconds the flight is kept stable, then the jet deccelerates and falls of the the right, shaking everyone in it just like Jacks maneuver did minutes before.

"Truth, hey Truth, stop fooling around, I don't think many of us would survive a crash from up here." Eris said as she tried to move around in her seat despite the G's of force pressing back on her. Actually, I don't think any of us would survive, not unless Clair actually shields us with that bubble, or Jackson creates enough of that ooze stuff to act as a cushion.

"Hey Clair, could you like make a forcefield strong enough to protect us if we crash this thing?" Eris called as she looked around desperately for ejection switches for the seats so they wouldn't go down with the ship. Where's Katie when you need her, I'm sure she could at the very least slow us down, if not lift us all up.

 

[Radiant]

The ejection keys on the seats are nifty little devices with their own independent power supply but like everithing else they are not working.

 

[Shalimar]

Eris hits the manual release button on the ejection seat, apparently to no avail. "This is just ed up." she calls out as she tries to remember where the emergency restart switch for the plain is suppoused to be. "Does anyone know if there are any regular parachutes or something?"

 

[Tokiwong]

"This is going to suck," Joey activates his water shield, "If you can guide this thing toward a body of water, I think I can cushion our landing... I hope..."

 

[Robbert Raets]

"Sorry guys, these jet planes have a tendency to rely on engine power rather than wing lift. I doubt anyone could land this thing with dead engines, even if the controls were responding."

 

[Radiant]

A pale light flickers in front of Jack, saying: Accesing emergency energy.
The controls go back online and the engines power up. There is a counter showing how long it will last. It shows it should provide power for 10 Minutes but the counter races down so fast that Jack can estimate he has about 1 minute maybe a bit more left before the Reaper is dead again. There is nothing from Truth and all other systems (including the independent ones like ejection seats) are still down. Even battery powered watches stopped working. The hologrphic display of your position is dead and warning signs blink and tell you that all sensors of the plane stopped working. Jack is flying on sight alone and this time Truth does not take some of his work from him.

 

[Robbert Raets]

"Eris! Grab your stick and help me pull her level! We've got Emergency Power, but it's draining rapidly! Clair, Joey, get ready to cushion us the best you can when we hit the ground!"

You've got to be kidding. You see this is why i bloody well 'ate ta fly! Jack, maybe you should try and slow this bucket down and drop it low as yer can, might stand a chance of survivin that way. Jono then turns his attention to makeing sure he's strapped in securely. Here we go Clair, time to show us exactly how helpful that forcefield of yers is.
