| The smell of engine fuel, the sound of airships. These are prominent on the airfield as Hira runs a diagnosis scan on the transport Triarch she's standing in front of. As she waits for Jacob, Hira sits on a crate, one hand feeling the Ursa skin cloak she's now wearing. She looks up at the Triarch and takes it in. The Hammerhawk hooked to the bottom back is sturdily secured and the weapons that are normally outfitted have been replaced with fuel tanks. I hope that Jacob gets here soon, the pilot is getting fidgety. | |

| The high pitched whine of the Triarch's engines filled the air as Jacob walked across the airfield towards the raven haired girl perched atop a crate. His wolf ears were flattened against his head, almost hidden amidst his shaggy hair. "We ready to head out?" he asked, standing behind Hira. | |

| Hira nods and looks up from her Scroll. "Yeah. We'll be landing at the base of the mountain and taking the Hammerhawk up, as there aren't any landing spaces at the top. Do you have everything?" She asks as she stands and pockets the scroll. | |

| Jacob lifted his old pelt kit bag "I've brought a few things, not sure if it's everything we might need, don't think I brought enough shells for Jernulv" he frowned "let's just hope we don't run into too many Beowulfs while we're out there." | |

| With a nod Hira waves towards the Hammerhawk strapped to the underside of the transport gunship. "I had an engineer put a turret on the back seat. It's not much, but it's automatic." She says as she walks over to the gunship and grabs the rungs to the middle cockpit. | |

| Jacob clambered up into one of the other cockpits. Stuffing his bag into the foot well, he climbed inside and pulled the canopy shut. "There was something else I'm supposed to do in here" Jacob muttered, staring at the control panel as if it would answer his question. | |

| Hira drops into the middle cockpit and pulls the canopy shut with a hiss, flicking on the area radar. "Pilot, we are ready for liftoff. Initiate burn." She says as the engine's low whine grows a bit louder and the ship pulls off the ground. | |

| Jacob observed as the ship began to move, the packing crates and fuel loaders began to shrink as the craft left the ground behind and soared into the air. | |

| Zooming out the area radar, Hira taps a spot on the touch screen. "Pilot, when we get there, put us down here." She says as the airship accelerates forwards. | |

| Jacob folded his arms and sat back in his seat closing his eyes, his ears standing on point. He wasn't asleep, more like meditating, waiting for a reason to stir. | |

| Leaning back in the seat, Hira closes her eyes. After a few moments she's drifted off, her scroll set with a proximity alarm. | |

| The hum of the engines lowered in pitch as the craft's speed increased. Jacob opened one eye ans saw snow, tumbling down from the sky above and buffeting the canopy, like tiny ice kamikazes. "Nearly there" he noted. | |

| The ship slowly decelerates and starts lowering down. Hira jolts awake, rubbing her eyes. "There already? Wow." She mumbles to herself as the aircraft lands. The cockpit unseals with a hiss and she pulls it back, standing up in the cockpit before climbing down the rungs on the side. | |

| The biting chill struck Jacob across his bare chest. He barely took note, he simply retrieved his kit bag and trudged across the snow towards Hira's cockpit "A real Northern welcome" he joked, grinning. | |

| With a snort Hira walks over towards the rear of the ship, then proceeds to start unhooking the Hammerhawk. "From here it's maybe fifteen minutes if I keep over 50% thrust. We'll be there soon." She says as the 'Hawk drops from the back and thuds into the snow. A wave of a hand and the airship slowly starts raising into the air, buffeting them with wind. | |

| Jacob adjusted his jacket and gripped the dragon's horn pendant around his neck, for fear that it would blow away if he didn't. He slung his bag over one shoulder and walked over to the Hammerhawk. He sniffed the air a few times tentatively, picking up on the few faint scents blown in by the wind. "Beowulf" he grunted "we'd best get moving." | |

| Hira nods and steps up onto the wing of the Hammerhawk, pressing a button which causes the wind canopy to slide open. She drops into the seat and immediately starts the ignition cycle. "Get in the back and seal the wind canopy. We don't want to be blasted by 70 Mile per hour winds while we're heading up the mountain." | |

| Jacob climbed into the passenger seat and did as instructed "Never been to the mountains before" Jacob called out over the roar of the wind. | |

| Hira pulls the front half of the wind canopy back and the two pieces seal together, blocking out most of the sound. "Well, new experience for you." She says as the Hammerhawk slowly rises, the thrusters glowing blue. | |

| "You ok?" Jacob inquired, frowning "you seem a little... tense." | |

| Pulling a set of H.U.D goggles over her eyes, Hira pushes the forward acceleration to 60%, the K8 jumping forward at a fast clip, the fallen snow fishtailing behind the hovercraft. "Not tense. Worried about going up the mountain. It's unpleasant at best." | |

| "You're a good pilot, and I have complete faith in you" Jacob latched onto the seat beneath him and watched as the snow was thrown up around them by the bike's engine. | |

| After a few minutes they're heading up a decently steep incline. "Hold on, pretty soon I'm going to have to do some shenanigan driving." Hira says as she weaves around a rock. | |

| Jacob's grip tightened like a vice upon hearing Hira's warning "Got it" he grunted. | |

| The Hammerhawk enters the treeline and Hira starts swerving to avoid Pine trees. This goes on for about five to ten minutes before the Hammerhawk pulls out onto a trail, Hira having pull it into a drag turn. "A minute or so until we're there." | |
