Speed Demon
Alerius's Slepnir took off out of its hangar. Flying just till it reached outside the wall before setting down on its feet. " Time to test out the ground speed on this baby.." He set in a sprinters stance before launching in a full tilt sprint without his boosters. Each step carrying him a little farther, a little faster. He was gaining ground on the others who were flying. Though they were at closer to a cruising speed not going full throttle like he was. He was testing his max ground speed which put him near his speed in flight, though not quite matching it. Once he was no longer able to accelerate without losing his footing he lept up and took flight with the rest. " Damn that's fast." He commented, catching up the short distance between him in the rest of the squad. " Okay past that mountain range we should be free and clear till we reach our target area." He announced over the comms channel.
They had a six hour flight ahead of them. The night growing steadily warmer as they pushed farther and farther south. The mountains would give way to lush tropical forests as far as the eye can see. Trees hundreds of feet tall and a thick canopy making it impossible to make out what was under it all. Scanners would pick up some life forms here and there but for the most part they remained in the medium and occasionally large categories. Likely just wildlife. Each passing hour over the jungle, the early morning mist would gradually get thicker and thicker. Though just following the provided flight plan would get them there safely.
The drop point was also shrouded in mist on the edge of a cliff and half encircled by the massive trees. However it was a preprogrammed location and they would be guided in smoothly. There was already a small camp set up. Two regular tents and a medium cargo container likely transporting samples. There was nothing to see off of the cliffs edge due to the sheer density of the mist. It was hot and humid. The air felt thick like walking through soup. Toxin readings would be almost Nil and oxygen readings were high enough for collection. However not enough to support human life for long, without the suit filtration system venting out all of the other gasses making regular life impossible at any rate.
