“Landfall”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA89Hz6ZzBYP
Thunderclaps amidst all the heavy rain announce to those aboard the110Please respect copyright.PENANAteZiOp24qB
strange-looking aircraft stubbornly making its way across the sky, that they110Please respect copyright.PENANAprhO8yjmfn
have just entered Beriheim. It is the UX-Rg31 prototype; also known by few110Please respect copyright.PENANAKhlxMqx6wU
as the ´Bolt Lander´, a most unique aircraft amongst its peers as its main purpose is to110Please respect copyright.PENANA6zXpi2MHTV
travel anywhere undetected.110Please respect copyright.PENANAFSUaxl8yP0
But not tonight though, for tonight stealth must be sacrificed for haste, and so110Please respect copyright.PENANAGNkURycB3O
nothing will be able to hide it and its sounds of fury as it makes its way across the skies.110Please respect copyright.PENANAwMcKTh86E1
It departed from the Human Capital not even two hours ago, and has been cutting110Please respect copyright.PENANALx9e3CuaLM
clouds and deafening anyone caught under it since it took to the skies. It is headed110Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5m8G774OS
towards the top of the Beriheim Mountain and the large flashes of white light now110Please respect copyright.PENANAz70GoztV4M
pouring through those thick glassed windows let everyone aboard know that they are110Please respect copyright.PENANAxqRvfp91L7
getting closer.110Please respect copyright.PENANAetAMrgpLtW
An old man is confidently taking the pilot seat, his face is spent and his wrinkly110Please respect copyright.PENANAhQgVQSmuYp
hairy hands shaky, but he is still the best pilot on the continent. His eyes are not what110Please respect copyright.PENANAYbgi4FI5YD
they used to be, but Airman Sheiska has always displayed an uncanny knack for flying110Please respect copyright.PENANASssdzwmdts
as he keeps demonstrating with his almost purely intuitive manoeuvres between one110Please respect copyright.PENANAlZsfMbtGZ5
lighting strike and the next. It is imperative that he brings those five men as close to110Please respect copyright.PENANAPcw6YmO88m
that Mountain as possible. Four figures sitting in the dark, two on each side of that110Please respect copyright.PENANADRvzPpzj1F
cargo hold and with their silhouettes barely visible, except for now and again when110Please respect copyright.PENANA5M6XJytZhl
those flashes of light storming the outside manage to break in. And a fifth who refuses110Please respect copyright.PENANAFZK02Zu8rA
his seat preferring instead to stand proud between them; he is holding himself to a110Please respect copyright.PENANAcfNN7Yg8y6
metal bar right above his head as the entire aircraft keeps shaking. Every single time110Please respect copyright.PENANA6qI8RQ5FFw
a big flash of white dumps its light through those small windows, a thunderous roar110Please respect copyright.PENANABeqwpHwKLc
and a violent shake immediately follow. It is quickly growing worse as all six aboard110Please respect copyright.PENANAw7h877IA11
can easily tell. These five are its cargo, for the Bolt Lander is transporting, as it usually110Please respect copyright.PENANAPsAiVjZePx
does, the very best of all the Human forces. The elite team that King Hervies deploys110Please respect copyright.PENANAYRSKnVReKy
when he needs something taken care of quickly and surely.110Please respect copyright.PENANANhSk4PMEE8
They are the “Hervies Hand” for they always operate as a team of five and they110Please respect copyright.PENANAqulT4NEm1p
are the most trusted and capable of all at the Human king’s disposal. They are the110Please respect copyright.PENANAgxUMPCWHCE
best. Five elite soldiers; capable of all sorts of tasks that their king might ask of them,110Please respect copyright.PENANABAkiyUwrIg
including most of all, combat. Time and again have they survived what no one else110Please respect copyright.PENANA3IaZclXLO7
would and just as often have they fought and vanquished all sorts of enemies in all110Please respect copyright.PENANAaW0MlAncPR
sorts of preposterous scenarios.110Please respect copyright.PENANAUmguw19PYU
They go in and they come out successfully, that is what they do, and they have never110Please respect copyright.PENANArHfYgvx057
failed their king, not once.110Please respect copyright.PENANAdZhEy5KeoR
Everyone knows that the Hand is only called to serve during states of emergency.110Please respect copyright.PENANAbYcv6CdIgL
Their work is few and far between, but it is always impactful, and many times has the110Please respect copyright.PENANAWQUT3mqytH
outcome of their missions changed the course of Human history. They are preparing110Please respect copyright.PENANAi7tsHTBQnb
themselves to accomplish yet another important mission for their majesty and no110Please respect copyright.PENANA2GdsYupJd2
amount of rain or thunder is going to shake them. Fast has the Bolt Lander traversed110Please respect copyright.PENANAdNwVL5Y7vS
the lands, faster than any other aircraft can, but this is the rarest occurrence for very110Please respect copyright.PENANAywz1jyB54z

Hand real close to their target without any realisation of those not involved. Covert110Please respect copyright.PENANANT73NDQ3Ay
infiltration it’s usually her main focus, for it is an aircraft designed to remain unaware110Please respect copyright.PENANAkrhjDOU1cF
while making sure it never arrives in second place.110Please respect copyright.PENANAPV273zS9yp
Tonight, however, the Bolt Lander’s bold nickname is to be tested, as its speed is110Please respect copyright.PENANAOXODTtGYyO
its best quality.
