Approaching Destination

Calian POV

Even with all the garbage forming a wall around the city, it's still a spectacular sight to behold. I also see a couple of other aerodynes flying about with logos painted on the side of them all, some with Arasaka, Militech, Kang Tao, Chameleon, and other presumably company logos, Militech is a company and so we shall hack into it, this is all so foolish.

Are those flying cars? Those are flying cars! It's shaped like a sports car but instead of having four wheels, it has four thrusters, that kinda looks cool even if I don't really agree with the concept of flying cars based on a number of reasons. We approached the city, below the skyscrapers and above the skywalks, we look like a flying pigeon in a dense field of palm trees.

I looked up towards a bulky very ugly designed skyscraper and I saw something, something behind a window. The large window suddenly shattered as a man dressed in what I could make out as a dirty tux fell through! And the problem is, his trajectory of a fall is heading right to us! We're in a collision course with a falling man!

I immediately pushed the control wheel also known as the yoke up as the aerodyne dived below, aiming to move faster than the falling human. And after, I pulled the yoke down and rose the aerodyne up to the previous altitude, yup, I just dodged a flying human. "That was some good reflex," I'll take the compliment Crynn.

(A.N : Yoke controls : Turning the yoke left means the left wing or side of the plane will rise. Turning the yoke right means that the right wing or side will rise instead, this is both an action used to turn the plane. Pushing the yoke up will instead of pushing the plane up, it pushes the plane downwards as does the opposite where puling the yoke down doesn't push the plane down but instead aims it upwards.)

"I try to do my best," I followed after with a narcissistic self-compliment, those always feel good. "At least now we know how messed up the world is, a random dude was just kicked off the skyscraper, blatant public murder right there, we should really be careful, I don't want to be shot in the back," I agree, a man falling off a building the moment we enter the city, that can't be a good sign.

"So, how long till we reach our destination?" I asked as Crynn tapped the screen. "A minute, satellite readings show that the air traffic today is at an all time low," right, air traffic, okay then. Is there an intercom in my side of the cockpit, of course there is, the button next to the screen. "We're a minute's time towards our destination," I said over it and relaxed, putting both my hands behind my head.

I took off my glasses and folded it into my tux's pocket. "You bring any weapons? Ehm... aside from swords," although those are two exquisite looking sabers, I doubt it will work its magic around here (Neither does Calian now, magic actually flows through the sword, ho ho ho). "I have a pistol and some C4, whatever's the rest in my briefcase couldn't be used here."

"Oh right, why are you carrying a briefcase?" It would be more convenient to simply carry a duffle bag or something rather than an inflexible briefcase. "It's a special briefcase with spatial storage, a useful trinket I got from Harry Potter, the movie not the character," you mean it's something like Newt's Scamander zoo-case? That's very very awesome!

"We're approaching destination, ready yourselves, get your weapons out, and proceed with caution," Crynn said to the intercom as I opened my map and see that yes, we're not approaching anymore but we're right on top of our destination, VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) will take care of the rest.

Is there any camera that point downwards, hmm... aha here it is! I tapped on a screen button and multiple views appeared. A view of the back, a view straight above, 2 views on the sides, 4 views 45 degrees downwards and upwards from the front and back and a view straight down. Well, the view straight down is the most important at this moment.

I can see that numerous people are below us, staring straight at our aerodyne in bewilderment. Some instantly took their weapons out to aim at us in caution. "This will be difficult, the people below us have already raised their weapons," I spoke as I observed the men and women further. And what can I say except, I want to be a designer.

Why did I think of that, because simply enough, the clothing these guys wear is hideous to say the least. Wearing vests with no shirt inside, ridiculously colorful pants, overly ripped crop tops, this is disgusting. I also forgot that this world seems to be a world of cybernetics and body modifications, apparently too much body modification.

Cause I could see someone modify their face, or at least the front of it with 8 red mechanical eyes, I don't know if he's trying to be cool but the reality is, he's just disgusting and revolting. "How bad is it?" Crynn questioned. "I'd say not good, they have lmgs, rifles, shotguns, pistols, maybe even grenades, you can look at them yourself by scrolling down your screen till you find the all-around view."

The aerodyne finally starts to descend, now I'm worried, anxious and nervous, all mean the same but whatever. "The autopilot will descend on its own, right?" Autopilots may not do that in the real world when landing commercial planes and such, but surely a futuristic world like this one should have landing automation.

"Yeah it is, should we prepare for the party. The best case scenario is for us to safely return with the locations and the worst case scenario being we'd have to cause a bloodbath," if that's the case, then we really should prepare for the party, no, for the grand ball.
