Ajax

Ajax Greeted each of the new comers with a nod of his head. Glancing at his watch they were only a minute away from launch. The captain stepped out and instructed each of them to buckle in. Reaching over his shoulder Ajax grabbed each of the restraints and buckled them into the base on either side of his legs. After looking the group over the captain nodded and stepped back into the cockpit.

A small screen on the wall in front of them turned on displaying a count down. As the count down hit 0 there was a small shutter as the Small Craft separated from The Infinity. Immediately he was greeted with the familiar sensation of weightlessness. Looking around at each of the others faces for there reaction.

When he spoke of their encounter she instantly remembered him, realizing then why she hadn't recognized him right away. She hadn't gotten a chance to speak with him or even hardly get a good look at him before he had run off that day, figuring he was either shy or reserved, realizing now it was a nice combination of both. "Oh yes, now I remember you," she chuckled holding a hand to her chest as she did so, looking to Damon who watched with interest at the weapon that was unfolded. "How interesting.." he spoke with a look of curiosity, his sister smiling. "I think he likes you," she teased with a light chuckle, her brother almost instantly going back into his shell and gazing away, ignoring the small nudge from his sister.

Can you not feel what lives beyond our lives.

Atlas smiled at her brother "Well if you like I have a bag full of them in the cargo hold, I had to sneak in a few things they didn't want me to take but ******** them" he said with a chuckle as weightlessness over took him. He instantly unbuckled him self floating free of his seat, a quick flip here and there and he then folded his legs in what most called Indian style which was racist to him. Floating up side down like that he crossed closely to Dee "Ever float around in zero g? its a blast"

Keller had been prepping for this mission for a few months now. He had been running flight sims and had joined in a few hand to hand combat sessions to make sure that when he got to the planet's surface he could be a bit more helpful. His engineering background would be useful but if s**t hit the fan, building a structure or a computer mainframe wouldnt exactly be on the top of the "usefull skills" list.

With the go-ahead order given for flight, Keller did his pre-flight checks and commenced with the decent towards the earth's surface. He popped on the in-cockpit camera and began to broadcast to his passengers. "This is Captain Sturm speaking, Our decent towards the planet's surface has begun. Preliminary scans of our landing zone have shown that this area is relatively void of activity and that we should have a clean and clear site for deployment. With this being said I still encourage you all to keep your wits about you and your eyes open as we still have no idea what is waiting for us down there. Approximate time of arrival is 8 minutes. Please stay seated and ready yourself for deployment."

Keller steeled his nerves and tried to enjoy the little bit of zero gravity he would have before the abrupt return to gravity.

The man remained silent as he offered the weapons, gazing away and out one of the small windows, waiting for their department. When the shuttle gave a shake and released itself the two of them both gave a small jump, bodies pulling against the buckles that held them in place, Delilah's long braids floating around her. She gave a small laugh and pulled them down, looking to her brother who seemed to actually be enjoying himself in the zero gravity. As the male floated over to her she stared up to him, "Yes, only in simulators though," she admitted, the temptation to unbuckle herself great, but after a glance from her twin she knew it wasn't smart, "Be careful, once we hit the atmosphere it's going to knock the wind out of you if you're not seated," she teased with a grin.

Can you not feel what lives beyond our lives.

Ajax

Ajax watched as one of them unbuckled and floated through the air. That would be one thing he would miss, the feel of weightlessness. He was also rather interested in the Spear also but he would ask him about that when they landed. The excitement was almost unbearable, but he did his best to contain himself. He couldn't wait to go exploring once they landed.

Looking out the small window the earth was growing larger. it took a moment for him to realize they were close to breaking the atmosphere. looking back he said. "Now would be a good time to strap in, were about to be in Earths Atmosphere." without waiting to see if he listened Ajax checked his belts again, making sure they were nice and snug.

"I'm here to help..."

Well, he missed the first trip out. Oh well, he thought to himself. He wasn't ready yet anyways; he wanted as pack up as many useful items as he could in the supply drop they would be requesting once they reached the surface. If he didn't come with it, there was always the possibility that it could result in a massive failure on his and humanity's part. Food, survival gear, and (one of his priorities) medical equipment. He wanted to change the order of the drops initially so that there science gear would go through first, but it wasn't the end of the world as of yet.

He checked each crate of food for its refrigeration unit and the quality of the food, he went through every nook and cranny to make sure every usable piece of equipment was in, and he personally strapped everything in to make sure it wouldn't break on the atmosphere reentry. Eventually, he phoned in that the crate was ready for when they landed and secured the area. He pocketed his knife, his one tool that he managed to convince the mission controllers to allow him to bring and pulled out his flask to get a drink. "The only thing left down there are either corpses or nightmares. I hope for the dead bodies," he mumbled to himself.


"...but I don't know how to. Yet."

As the Captain's voice rang through the room, Jack realized something very, very important. She hated flying. The sudden terror filled her in an instant, and she turned a little white, quickly gripping the straps and buckling herself in, her fingers tightening on her wrench as though that tiny object would give her some relief. In fact, she looked a little nauseous watching Atlas float around in zero gravity. That should be fun, right? No...no, that just seemed like an invitation to fall flat on her a**.

Her eyes closed briefly, taking a deep breath. One...two...three... She counted slowly, and once she opened her eyes again, she felt a little better. Right. Just focus on the idea of Earth. No matter what awaits there, it'll still be exciting. A car...maybe you'll find a car...ohhh, just anything to get your feet back on solid ground.

THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING...

He had just started to adjust to the mild joy of weightlessness when the atmosphere snapped him back into his seat. He felt the whole ship snap back as well. This wasn't good. He had flown the atmosphere entry simulator a hundred times and never was the snap like this. There was more shake and rattle to the ship then he was anticipating.

The landing craft shook violently as the entry maneuver began. This is all going fine, you've done this, you've done this... Keller chanted in his head. In actuality things were not fine.

As the ship burned through the atmosphere the heat gauges were beginning to sky rocket. Several warning sensors lit up like flares in the cockpit, and the alarms began to sound. All those hours of training began flooding back. The emergency maneuvers were flashing through his head. He grabbed the flight yoke and pulled back hard while engaging the decent thrusters. He felt the engines roar to life and then came the boom.

The integrity monitors suddenly flashed red. His right rear engine had overheated and burst. This was now becoming a quick semi controlled decent to a quicker death. He reached for the intercom and shouted hastily. "Prep for emergency landing maneuvers, this is going to be a rough one."

The ship was now a flaming beacon across the sky. The altimeter was dropping much too fast and Keller had very little control of the ship. As the shuttle bobbed from side to side, Keller struggled to keep control of the flight yoke, and still keep the nose up. As the ship cleared the clouds he could see he wasnt heading for the expanse of land somewhere north of the everglades he was heading for what he could tell was a metropolitan area. Oh great, even if we do survive the crash we are going to be in a city bustling with zombies.
he thought while desperately cluthing his controls.

The ship clipped a large building as it careened through the sky, sending it in a mild spin. Keller kept a death grip on the yoke and pulled back as hard as he could. "Brace for impact" was all he could mutter into the intercom, only moments before he slammed into the top of a building. The shuttle slid off the side of the roof and regained air for a few seconds before plowing into the 5th floor of a parking garage. A bit more sliding and the shuttle screeched to a halt.

"Well, that could have gone better" he muttered to himself.

Ajax

Ajax knew something was wrong even before the captain came over the intercoms and said it was going to be rough. They were descending to fast the ground seemed to jump at them. The shuttle was slowed when it struck something, what he didn't know he couldn't see anything. Everything was silent except the roar of the engines, when suddenly he was thrown against his restraints a piercing screeching noise filled his Ears. Then Everything was silent, no movement from the ship.

Unbuckling his restraints Ajax stood looking at his crew, Although obviously rattled by the landing non of them seemed any worse for wear. Peering outside threw the small window he saw the concret pillars that held the floors above them up. He could hear a noise coming from the outside of the ship and it was growing closer. "I don't think we have time to catch out breath something is out there, Listen." he said pressing his ear to the window. "It sounds like shuffling, like people dragging there fee... Oh no." He said as a look of terror crossed his face. Even after 60 years could it be possible that the Undead there ancestors had run from had somehow managed to survive this long also.

"I'm here to help..."

The first ship has landed! It boomed over the intercoms of the Infinity's mission room, and everyone cheered. But the moment of bliss ended when someone bleakly said, "We lost communication. The reentry damaged the comms hub on the landing pod. For now, we're in the dark until one of them sets up the mission beacon."

For all the time and effort we've put in, we fail to oversee the first details and prepare for something like this? He was angry but he knew that it was useless right now. He found the satellite crew and told them to find where the pod landed, he hoped to at least land close to them before they set up, an extra set of hands never hurt. But of course, mission control denied his request to land early, as they now wanted to reinforce the supply crate.

Two steps forward, one step back!

Atlas Rye



Atlas laughed a little "Well I know that silly, of course I'll happily lock my self away before we land" speaking of which the captain then came onto the intercom letting them all know they were about to enter the atmosphere which caused Atlas to float back to his seat and lock in. Then there was the whole emergency landing all of a sudden that freaked him out just a little until they were safely stuck in a parking garage. Looking at everyone as the shuffling could be heard Atlas gave a sigh "Of course their still alive, can't keep the undead down" he said unbuckling him self and standing up. Now of course the stereotype of all zombie movies was the first one out the gate was usually eaten, but the first one out the gate was six three two hundred pounds and could swing a pole with the force of ten sledge hammers. Which the skull of the first shuffling corpse found out soon after Atlas swung open the bay doors. Looking back at everyone he spoke "Their heads are mushy"

THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING...

Keller looked across the control panel and most of the ships indicators were reading malfunction or complete failure. Great my first mission as a pilot and I crash us into a parking structure. Keller unbuckled himself and exited the cockpit to check on the passengers to see if they were fairing better then the ship.

"It seems as if we have touched down, in what the sat-com is telling me, Orlando." Keller moved back through the passengers towards the bay door. "and it seems like they already sent out the welcoming party." He knew that if the zombies were still around that blazing through the air and crash landing in the middle of a city would pretty much have all of them on high alert and closing in fast.

Seeing one of the passengers already out and cracking skulls, Keller shouted to the others "Looks like we arent going to have time to set up here, We have two choices, move to the roof of this structure and try to contact The Infinity, or muscle our way to the bottom and try to find an area a little less infested. What ever we decide we need to do it now or this is going to be the shortest mission to the Earth in 60 years"

Keller grabbed the impact hammer near the bay door and walked out into the parking garage.

Can you not see what lies beyond the lies

When the ship began to shiver and plummet to earth the two looked at each other, knowing something was wrong, long before the captain spoke over the intercom. They were going to fast.. at this speed the ship could literally tear itself apart, and if it didn't the landing would be painful enough to hurt someone. The captain was doing his best to slow the ship down, they could feel that, Delilah's hand quickly gripping her brother's, eyes shut tight, murmuring a soft hope for their safe landing. The ship hit hard, rattling everyone inside, scraping against the ground before it came to a full stop.

The girl groaned and unbuckled herself from the seat, her brother following suit before they both stood. "You alright?" he question, Dee nodding before rubbing the back of her neck, "Yeah, just a bit sore," she replied. Hearing the shuffling sounds they knew what was waiting for them beyond the doors. "Seriously? It's been sixty years.. wouldn't they have starved to death by now?" she questioned, Damon watching as the male burst from the shuttle to smash in the head of one of the creatures, "they're already dead, nothing will stop them except pure destruction of the brain," he stated.

He needed his weapons.. Delilah was the second one out, ready for a fight, followed by her brother who went along the side of the hot shuttle to try and find where the captain had stored away his weapons.

[RaysofDarkness]

All of a sudden, Jack wasn't having the best of days. First, the Captain came on and informed everyone they'd have a bit of a rough landing. Understatement of the millennia...Jack had to literally pry her own fingers off the arms of her seat once they finally crashed (because it couldn't really be considered a landing) on Earth.

And then, ******** undead. Still, after 60 years! How was that even remotely possible? Jack frowned, unbuckling her seatbelt and jumping up. [******** hell! You dumb idiots took all of the weapons, and then crash landed us in the middle of what sounds like a horde!" Not their brightest moments. Of course, after saying that, she spun her wrench so that the blade shot out the back end of it, but she really needed a gun. Why hadn't she brought a gun?

"This is NOT how I anticipated the start of our adventure."
