“I hate this part.”343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywyop7ot08
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd6j9cqEqC
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsdJmhzHYb
“Rhim!”343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz0qEabdL7
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GSYe93XJm
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZD5QNaScA
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPOlltjSJQ
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgCo9iF94K
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuI0H7vwMb
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTB3lV2SS0
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0jZLaK6ev
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogM8rIv4QC
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOg4ZvrQyR
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvC9060qCL
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDXUtDWuIQ
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xhPpu8SqM
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9xAxo54Og
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44vpCxaNmY
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzrIE3tOPF
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP0F2i3Wyn
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFbjkA8UBs
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HW6QbqNEL
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqvOcVC7vZ
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB1gykCDux
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAIhvEaJJ1
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CqVkzcfal
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlZm1KPAPG
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAxQ9vZG67
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SffXYQOnC
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUyq0jqNSw
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXGAzM5NzO
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEbviuz4sS
“In three... two... one... Mark!”343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGDMYqhFEd
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscBxVhdugZ
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnjoqZSZe4
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIRvwhyRef
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsATz4mXSI
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pH6B7jXkP
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Apx2cixKl
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKiEQ1Ad5w
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4u5NsEOzV
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc4XdnMfSp
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28EZpqisc7
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFBireN18a
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8Oe9wvv6Q
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyXuuwWHWQ
more and then impact was finally made...343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5A1Hs8vdr
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7tpvi6hkw
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GhYeQHVXO
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisv4DDzyJF
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FaL4Hizjl
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX7XU6XM3W
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLAi0OwsGU
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoykzlDI3z
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx13XooTOP
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9CoWx2P7M
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTVkWJlsIE
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbgdZ1DjYa
