Life at the Aett: Skarsi's Tale

[Thexare]

A small AN-297 Panther atmospheric fighter launched from a hanger out in the forest. Its rust-colored plating was quite reminiscent of the Crow and the Hyena, but then, it was made by one of the same manufacturers - Aquila Defense Systems found more success in the planetary market. It was armed with only a pair of TP-3 laser cannons, but it was rare to need more in atmospheric flight anyway.

Flying this craft was Lloyd Black, a brown-haired Bretonian man with a recurring attitude problem. Under most circumstances he would've preferred to send Henry or Evan to deal with business, but circumstances made that difficult or impossible.

On approach to the Aett, Lloyd transmitted the security code, and waited for a signal before proceeding. As he drew closer to the landing area, he noticed the many weapon platforms. Even the LSF would consider them overkill, but with recent events, Lloyd wondered if it might not be adequate.

It occurred to him that he wasn't sure exactly where he was supposed to be. Given the security of the base, he decided it was in his best interest not to wander, so he just climbed out of the cockpit, took off his helmet, and stood next to his fighter. It wasn't the quietest ride out there, surely it would've caught someone's attention.
