Thunderclaps amidst all the heavy rain announce to those aboard the327Please respect copyright.PENANAdMCOPwjXe2
strange-looking aircraft stubbornly making its way across the sky, that they327Please respect copyright.PENANATZ1kYmCBGJ
have just entered Beriheim. It is the UX-Rg31 prototype; also known by few327Please respect copyright.PENANAFuLpqxYK2h
as the ´Bolt Lander´, a most unique aircraft amongst its peers as its main purpose is to327Please respect copyright.PENANAlwOXmhD1kP
travel anywhere undetected.327Please respect copyright.PENANA1FRHAygB0X
But not tonight though, for tonight stealth must be sacrificed for haste, and so327Please respect copyright.PENANAH1ueBO6qxU
nothing will be able to hide it and its sounds of fury as it makes its way across the skies.327Please respect copyright.PENANAhRB3D95W5P
It departed from the Human Capital not even two hours ago, and has been cutting327Please respect copyright.PENANA6GqIl89OHY
clouds and deafening anyone caught under it since it took to the skies. It is headed327Please respect copyright.PENANAFjRrLtJ7ti
towards the top of the Beriheim Mountain and the large flashes of white light now327Please respect copyright.PENANAMdyEJUXL22
pouring through those thick glassed windows let everyone aboard know that they are327Please respect copyright.PENANAu0uHSB5uFt
getting closer.327Please respect copyright.PENANAcq01fOoC63
An old man is confidently taking the pilot seat, his face is spent and his wrinkly327Please respect copyright.PENANAmY1UZSubLV
hairy hands shaky, but he is still the best pilot on the continent. His eyes are not what327Please respect copyright.PENANAvQLACOtbt0
they used to be, but Airman Sheiska has always displayed an uncanny knack for flying327Please respect copyright.PENANAuGOTxpWNom
as he keeps demonstrating with his almost purely intuitive manoeuvres between one327Please respect copyright.PENANAkxiivtWPQl
lighting strike and the next. It is imperative that he brings those five men as close to327Please respect copyright.PENANAyvXi66dS0y
that Mountain as possible. Four figures sitting in the dark, two on each side of that327Please respect copyright.PENANABG9LhOZ7Gb
cargo hold and with their silhouettes barely visible, except for now and again when327Please respect copyright.PENANAqtK3UQ6fto
those flashes of light storming the outside manage to break in. And a fifth who refuses327Please respect copyright.PENANAm84191Sskv
his seat preferring instead to stand proud between them; he is holding himself to a327Please respect copyright.PENANAkmm7cGmxHQ
metal bar right above his head as the entire aircraft keeps shaking. Every single time327Please respect copyright.PENANAaWpKg8qYeL
a big flash of white dumps its light through those small windows, a thunderous roar327Please respect copyright.PENANAQag7ordCzz
and a violent shake immediately follow. It is quickly growing worse as all six aboard327Please respect copyright.PENANArQanS6Rld5
can easily tell. These five are its cargo, for the Bolt Lander is transporting, as it usually327Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ6wzjhKWx
does, the very best of all the Human forces. The elite team that King Hervies deploys327Please respect copyright.PENANAHmz1kcrG28
when he needs something taken care of quickly and surely.327Please respect copyright.PENANAv2GNfAFgDS
They are the “Hervies Hand” for they always operate as a team of five and they327Please respect copyright.PENANAScyD5jVJcT
are the most trusted and capable of all at the Human king’s disposal. They are the327Please respect copyright.PENANAc9k7HsQFW5
best. Five elite soldiers; capable of all sorts of tasks that their king might ask of them,327Please respect copyright.PENANA5ip3zDRF2g
including most of all, combat. Time and again have they survived what no one else327Please respect copyright.PENANA8DZIETFv8i
would and just as often have they fought and vanquished all sorts of enemies in all327Please respect copyright.PENANA6RuJxZMLhI
sorts of preposterous scenarios.327Please respect copyright.PENANAHDno6yuEcm
They go in and they come out successfully, that is what they do, and they have never327Please respect copyright.PENANAa28PfR4Wek
failed their king, not once.327Please respect copyright.PENANAsN2Fb8R1GR
Everyone knows that the Hand is only called to serve during states of emergency.327Please respect copyright.PENANAy2yMPMGZq1
Their work is few and far between, but it is always impactful, and many times has the327Please respect copyright.PENANArGaC47s4Uz
outcome of their missions changed the course of Human history. They are preparing327Please respect copyright.PENANAnsUNymiFWD
themselves to accomplish yet another important mission for their majesty and no327Please respect copyright.PENANA6LQSf72jVQ

infiltration it’s usually her main focus, for it is an aircraft designed to remain unaware327Please respect copyright.PENANA7jFvrZCwTt
while making sure it never arrives in second place.327Please respect copyright.PENANAt1QkxmdFCk
Tonight, however, the Bolt Lander’s bold nickname is to be tested, as its speed is327Please respect copyright.PENANAXhaCVwCXxG
its best quality.
