Thunderclaps amidst all the heavy rain announce to those aboard the380Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5EoPVaaCw
strange-looking aircraft stubbornly making its way across the sky, that they380Please respect copyright.PENANAVADxZBaEB6
have just entered Beriheim. It is the UX-Rg31 prototype; also known by few380Please respect copyright.PENANACH8CrHmM27
as the ´Bolt Lander´, a most unique aircraft amongst its peers as its main purpose is to380Please respect copyright.PENANAYpWs1EOZ4P
travel anywhere undetected.380Please respect copyright.PENANAhZPc9BahHN
But not tonight though, for tonight stealth must be sacrificed for haste, and so380Please respect copyright.PENANABWvDr8bsy0
nothing will be able to hide it and its sounds of fury as it makes its way across the skies.380Please respect copyright.PENANAviV6kiyABr
It departed from the Human Capital not even two hours ago, and has been cutting380Please respect copyright.PENANARLnIYCZhPn
clouds and deafening anyone caught under it since it took to the skies. It is headed380Please respect copyright.PENANAI4eWQ9e6Qi
towards the top of the Beriheim Mountain and the large flashes of white light now380Please respect copyright.PENANABrFImDaHwP
pouring through those thick glassed windows let everyone aboard know that they are380Please respect copyright.PENANANfIdR5CCYK
getting closer.380Please respect copyright.PENANA04TemloOnv
An old man is confidently taking the pilot seat, his face is spent and his wrinkly380Please respect copyright.PENANATmVfg8xZC2
hairy hands shaky, but he is still the best pilot on the continent. His eyes are not what380Please respect copyright.PENANAjrSf26bn49
they used to be, but Airman Sheiska has always displayed an uncanny knack for flying380Please respect copyright.PENANApTLilFFehY
as he keeps demonstrating with his almost purely intuitive manoeuvres between one380Please respect copyright.PENANA0FhWwMpaTY
lighting strike and the next. It is imperative that he brings those five men as close to380Please respect copyright.PENANAEsr0xP3VKB
that Mountain as possible. Four figures sitting in the dark, two on each side of that380Please respect copyright.PENANAv9Z2ltNzNn
cargo hold and with their silhouettes barely visible, except for now and again when380Please respect copyright.PENANASW2qCiSVr4
those flashes of light storming the outside manage to break in. And a fifth who refuses380Please respect copyright.PENANAsSC9REFR7C
his seat preferring instead to stand proud between them; he is holding himself to a380Please respect copyright.PENANAmn3brhbvRx
metal bar right above his head as the entire aircraft keeps shaking. Every single time380Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3X2WkpxSb
a big flash of white dumps its light through those small windows, a thunderous roar380Please respect copyright.PENANAyUP9bsF2JJ
and a violent shake immediately follow. It is quickly growing worse as all six aboard380Please respect copyright.PENANAsojsak3xtM
can easily tell. These five are its cargo, for the Bolt Lander is transporting, as it usually380Please respect copyright.PENANA1R0IO1G3t6
does, the very best of all the Human forces. The elite team that King Hervies deploys380Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zq4JEnbZO
when he needs something taken care of quickly and surely.380Please respect copyright.PENANASbh9K4beyq
They are the “Hervies Hand” for they always operate as a team of five and they380Please respect copyright.PENANA28SfC1kmyo
are the most trusted and capable of all at the Human king’s disposal. They are the380Please respect copyright.PENANAQFF2qwQyXl
best. Five elite soldiers; capable of all sorts of tasks that their king might ask of them,380Please respect copyright.PENANAwMg9gRj0fj
including most of all, combat. Time and again have they survived what no one else380Please respect copyright.PENANAA73BlmjGco
would and just as often have they fought and vanquished all sorts of enemies in all380Please respect copyright.PENANAuxR1hGk5eI
sorts of preposterous scenarios.380Please respect copyright.PENANADdnJeHjHf1
They go in and they come out successfully, that is what they do, and they have never380Please respect copyright.PENANAd3LYOA34Fu
failed their king, not once.380Please respect copyright.PENANAiSQQYMLyTN
Everyone knows that the Hand is only called to serve during states of emergency.380Please respect copyright.PENANAFH2zdI50aT
Their work is few and far between, but it is always impactful, and many times has the380Please respect copyright.PENANANTYs0KNFis
outcome of their missions changed the course of Human history. They are preparing380Please respect copyright.PENANACMnJGWru9h
themselves to accomplish yet another important mission for their majesty and no380Please respect copyright.PENANACQonId9cgA
amount of rain or thunder is going to shake them. Fast has the Bolt Lander traversed380Please respect copyright.PENANAXmyD9nQfWx

infiltration it’s usually her main focus, for it is an aircraft designed to remain unaware380Please respect copyright.PENANA7oXgb1mNjd
while making sure it never arrives in second place.380Please respect copyright.PENANA8XsKkftXBn
Tonight, however, the Bolt Lander’s bold nickname is to be tested, as its speed is380Please respect copyright.PENANAF08CcoSgdS
its best quality.
