Thunderclaps amidst all the heavy rain announce to those aboard the321Please respect copyright.PENANApjzvAiTAUI
strange-looking aircraft stubbornly making its way across the sky, that they321Please respect copyright.PENANAaWN7AQCfVJ
have just entered Beriheim. It is the UX-Rg31 prototype; also known by few321Please respect copyright.PENANAcXejgMeacK
as the ´Bolt Lander´, a most unique aircraft amongst its peers as its main purpose is to321Please respect copyright.PENANA2MMzc1Ilph
travel anywhere undetected.321Please respect copyright.PENANANccDrQTa1B
But not tonight though, for tonight stealth must be sacrificed for haste, and so321Please respect copyright.PENANAggd3jeRaHW
nothing will be able to hide it and its sounds of fury as it makes its way across the skies.321Please respect copyright.PENANAzSgn1G7ar0
It departed from the Human Capital not even two hours ago, and has been cutting321Please respect copyright.PENANAjmEoxKwVC6
clouds and deafening anyone caught under it since it took to the skies. It is headed321Please respect copyright.PENANAB2mSbW9CKf
towards the top of the Beriheim Mountain and the large flashes of white light now321Please respect copyright.PENANAsjGZATDdxK
pouring through those thick glassed windows let everyone aboard know that they are321Please respect copyright.PENANA7zFzGHvvl9
getting closer.321Please respect copyright.PENANAO2Qwj7Z1bh
An old man is confidently taking the pilot seat, his face is spent and his wrinkly321Please respect copyright.PENANAC8jaEoSmh7
hairy hands shaky, but he is still the best pilot on the continent. His eyes are not what321Please respect copyright.PENANAozGXDEeXCY
they used to be, but Airman Sheiska has always displayed an uncanny knack for flying321Please respect copyright.PENANAEETnlCpRUu
as he keeps demonstrating with his almost purely intuitive manoeuvres between one321Please respect copyright.PENANAhEO8I7QiBr
lighting strike and the next. It is imperative that he brings those five men as close to321Please respect copyright.PENANA2DD3drEcLC
that Mountain as possible. Four figures sitting in the dark, two on each side of that321Please respect copyright.PENANAm61Pnj5Qaa
cargo hold and with their silhouettes barely visible, except for now and again when321Please respect copyright.PENANArnba8sZWlF
those flashes of light storming the outside manage to break in. And a fifth who refuses321Please respect copyright.PENANAtmySHL2M18
his seat preferring instead to stand proud between them; he is holding himself to a321Please respect copyright.PENANALl5tkOmbNQ
metal bar right above his head as the entire aircraft keeps shaking. Every single time321Please respect copyright.PENANAHiTY41sk0S
a big flash of white dumps its light through those small windows, a thunderous roar321Please respect copyright.PENANAfDba4z8GqF
and a violent shake immediately follow. It is quickly growing worse as all six aboard321Please respect copyright.PENANAS82x2tWehg
can easily tell. These five are its cargo, for the Bolt Lander is transporting, as it usually321Please respect copyright.PENANAUIon9vtnqD
does, the very best of all the Human forces. The elite team that King Hervies deploys321Please respect copyright.PENANAP96GEXN63l
when he needs something taken care of quickly and surely.321Please respect copyright.PENANAxjR1jfEAcg
They are the “Hervies Hand” for they always operate as a team of five and they321Please respect copyright.PENANAFEbN3vc3SG
are the most trusted and capable of all at the Human king’s disposal. They are the321Please respect copyright.PENANARgQIQkpUXI
best. Five elite soldiers; capable of all sorts of tasks that their king might ask of them,321Please respect copyright.PENANAXpCCNpzTJt
including most of all, combat. Time and again have they survived what no one else321Please respect copyright.PENANA4O1Yh2H86V
would and just as often have they fought and vanquished all sorts of enemies in all321Please respect copyright.PENANA2qRJ1xCXs6
sorts of preposterous scenarios.321Please respect copyright.PENANA7O0UyexnmO
They go in and they come out successfully, that is what they do, and they have never321Please respect copyright.PENANAnYs1fHtmA3
failed their king, not once.321Please respect copyright.PENANAqR9TTHKwcG
Everyone knows that the Hand is only called to serve during states of emergency.321Please respect copyright.PENANAAxzm0c9Fks
Their work is few and far between, but it is always impactful, and many times has the321Please respect copyright.PENANA3Sl15W8HG6
outcome of their missions changed the course of Human history. They are preparing321Please respect copyright.PENANAKL6Kw4WYQB
themselves to accomplish yet another important mission for their majesty and no321Please respect copyright.PENANAFDa70bLqim
amount of rain or thunder is going to shake them. Fast has the Bolt Lander traversed321Please respect copyright.PENANAXK6UBc7Qz3
the lands, faster than any other aircraft can, but this is the rarest occurrence for very321Please respect copyright.PENANAMDIoNb08lv

infiltration it’s usually her main focus, for it is an aircraft designed to remain unaware321Please respect copyright.PENANAhocDGwnzAA
while making sure it never arrives in second place.321Please respect copyright.PENANAIzZ1XzMYYn
Tonight, however, the Bolt Lander’s bold nickname is to be tested, as its speed is321Please respect copyright.PENANAy3ikVMqXcL
its best quality.
