Part 3:The descending and the final briefing


The voyager dropped the men at the top of a big canyon to avoid scaring the dragons away.
There was a stillness in the icy dessert, unusual for this time of the night. The path was getting narrow and they had a feeling of anticipation but they continued their path. The moon gloated over the icy dessert. After staying there for a few minutes and watching the landscape, Ecoas decided it was time to find a way into the valley.


After some time they found some parts of the cliff that weren't too steep and every now and then there was some kind of plateau to regroup there.
„Well let's get started then, i'd give away a full batch of our best cardamine for some damn stairs...Watch your steps, we don't want to lose someone already. We regroup at plateau 1 and so on until we reach ground levels.“ mourned Torres.


One of the marines lost grip, slipped on the rocks and slid about seven feet, before getting a decent grip again. The rest of the descent was without further incidents.


Ecoas rallied up the group and started talking:
“Allright, we are very close to the hunting parameter. This the final briefing, each group consists of 10 men, with the exception of alpha and beta being one more. The recon teams will go in first, while getting if possible long range cover by the engagement teams. If your assigned recon teams scouts one of the dragons, radio the position and regroup with the ET. There will be no engagements by the scout units, unless really necessary. Do not underestimate these animals, they will kill you with ease. We will use the highest amount of sedatives possible, without killing them in the process. We will need to re inject sedatives every 60 minutes after capturing them, so we can securely transport them back home.“
