Re: Chapter 8: Over the Hill

Icosa, strapped into the APC's seat with a five point harness, couldn't help but question what role she had to play in this situation. When the vehicle hit a relatively flat patch, she disengaged the harness and made her way to the ladder that led to the top hatch. "I'm going to fly ahead and l...
