  1. @@Orange Sparks, @@Hazard Time, Skyhop continued his shenanigan of shooting the goons in the feet under the cars. They were starting to catch on however, with some taking cover behind wheels and hard objects. But it still left plenty moving out for cover that wouldn't get their foot shot off. As he moved up the street he passed his two compatriots.He gave both of them a glance, a smile, and then continued up the street carefully. Right now he was aiming to shoot through the goons and see if Raze's shop buddy was still alive. They might need him later.
  2. @@Orange Sparks, @@Hazard Time, Skyhop continued fighting in the street, only stopping to exchange magazines. The translucent nature of his mags made it easy to tell how much ammo he had remaining with a quick glance. As round zipped and cracked past him, he cracked a devious little plan. Much to his nature, Skyhop never minded fighting dirty. With a smile, he flopped down on his side next to a car, aiming under the vehicles around him. He saw plenty of legs and feet that were unaware of their impending removal. Switching to semi-automatic, he fired round after round into the legs of his assailants. They yelped and jumped, many panicking and jumping away from cover. One unlucky goon aimed under a car at him, only to receive a nice FMJ round to the face.
  3. I don't like snow, it's cold and wet. And it gets everywhere.
  4. @@Hazard Time, Skyhop came off of his ship gun ready. With the safety off, he put two three round bursts down range. Each burst reverberated off the buildings and echoed down the street. It was a wonderful sound. Quickly he dove behind a car and fired another burst at a goon that was changing cover. Two of the three rounds impacted him, tumbling wildly through his torso before exiting. He fell to the ground with a yelp. "I'm covering you !" He shouted back to his ally, firing four or five bursts downrange at any enemy that tried to return fire. Most of them kept their heads down, while one unlucky enemy took a hit to the shoulder, falling backwards from the impact. "Come on, keep up the pressure !" He murmured to himself, glancing quickly at his translucent magazine before continuing his assault. It seemed his ally had not packed as much firepower as him, and he attempted to compensate for that while they pushed.
  5. @@Driz, @@Hazard Time, @, @@Orange Sparks, Finally Skyhop arrived at the street. It was a mess, and one that didnt look easy to fix. Quickly he armed the stingers. The street looked like it would be a straight shot to go down. With a loud roar, the Odonatta flew down the street at the thugs, trying to use the loud engines to startle them. Using his thumb, he flipped off the saftey for the weapons and let loose. The shots echoed down the street as he strafed the cluster of enemies, showering them with lead. It wasn't accurate fire,but it did cut down several of the assailants, and sent the rest ducking into cover, hopefully buying his allies on the ground precious time. Once he was at the end of the street, he sharply turned the corner and set the Odonatta down, powering it down. He turned to Bronze as he hopped off, not even removing his helmet, " Lets roll out, see if we can flank these goons !"
  6. @@Driz, @, @@Orange Sparks, @@Hazard Time, The Odonatta was screaming into the city now. Skyhop lowered the speed of the small craft a bit so he could duck it between buildings and other obstacles. He was close to the firefight, the sound of gunfire echoing in the streets. He would be upon it in a short few seconds more than likely. He loaded the stingers in the wings and opened the com. link. "Hey Cap ! Let me know were you guys are at and I could probably get a good strafe in with the Odonatta !" He shouted into his communicator. He then turned back to his passenger, " Want me to let you off near the fight ? "
  7. @@Hazard Time, " It was on the to buy list when we ran outta cash !" He shouted back. He was about to say something else when a transmission crackled over the radio. ""Vega, code red! I repeat, code red! We're in big trouble here! Come to the city center right now! Hurry!!" Skyhop let out a sigh. What trouble could they have landed themselves into now, he had just gotten on the Odonatta and didn't even get a chance to joyride it. He connected to the channel. "Skyhop here ! Heading to you guys. ETA is about one minute !" He shouted over the radio. Looked like they would be getting some action today. Luckily he had packed his rifle and not just a backup pistol, or today would have been getting a little too interesting. "Captains in trouble ! We are going in to help !" He shouted over the wind. The craft was now racing towards the city center.
  8. @@Hazard Time, Skyhop remained silent as his new passenger hopped on. After she was secure he did one quick post launch check before leaning forward. "Ready for liftoff ?" He asked, half asking a question, half just wanting to say the phrase. With a loud roar the engines fired up. Within seconds they were accelerating to extreme speeds. The craft rocketed over the water, leaving a salty wake behind them. With a quick movementof his arms, the stallion pulled back on the manipulators and brought them into a fast climb, gaining altitude and bearing towards the nearby city. Skyhop loved the exhilarating feeling, the wind whipping past, the roar of the engines. It was always a great experience for him. He craned his head back a bit to his passenger. "Doing good back there ?" He shouted over the noise.
  9. @@Hazard Time, "Imagine a flying motorcycle with a little bit of a punch installed" He smiled, "First ride is the most exhilarating" he waved his hand and took the short jog down too the hangar. Noticing the door was already open, he walked over to the wall. The small frame of the Odonatta sat there in it's compact form, it's stingers bristling in the sunlight. He grabbed ahold of it and pulled it off the wall, activating the small craft's hover mode. With a brilliant roar the engine came to life ! "Time to ride !" He smiled, as the wings unfolded and the vehicle extended to full size, still pretty small compared to the other craft. Grabbing his helmet off the seat, he straddled the saddle in the center of the frame and put his helmet on. It was go time. @@Driz, @, Skyhop grabbed onto the manipulators for the wings and slowly drifted out of the hangar. He gave the other crew members a small nod before revving the engines, preparing for liftoff.
  10. Skyhop walked into the armory. Donning a black leather jacket and some tactical eyewear, he grabbed his signature weapon. The SG 552 C was equipped with a 3x optical gun-sight and a flash hider so that way muzzle flash would not obstruct his view. It was unlikely he would need it, but better safe than sorry. With a loud clack he loaded a magazine into the weapon set it to safe. The last thing he needed was a chambered round to misfire. He folded the stock and put the compact weapon in it's hidden spot in the jacket. He flashed a smile on the way out as his glasses lit up with a HUD, feeding him information on the environment. Wind speed, temperature, a compass. They were all at his fingertips, or rather, his eyelashes with the HUD. @@Hazard Time, After grabbing his rider boots from his room, he walked past his compatriot. " I'm heading to the Odonatta, care to join me on the ride ?" He asked, shrugging a bit, " It has room for two people"
  11. @@Hazard Time, Skyhop tilted his head. even after working with her for a few months, he still had some trouble wrapping his head around her accent. A small smile crept across his face. He always did like having a partner to rely on during missions, and he knew Bronze was good under a heavy situation. "I'm with ya all right. Lets suit up then. I'll be takin the Odonata out " He happily stood up. It had been forever since he had gotten to take the Odonatta harness out for a spin.
  12. @@Driz, "Like I said, finding a dealer may come in handy. Perhapse we could capture and ask him " Politely" about his chain of command. Work our way up from there ?" He asked Trinket quietly. He didn't like the two conflicting sets of orders, but he felt most comfortable collecting information on the ground and among the crowds. Being a target had never really been his thing.
  13. @,@@Orange Sparks, Skyhop's eyes widened a bit. "That name sounds fairly familiar, might have run into him in my smuggling days..." the stallion scratched his chin, " Well, hopefully he doesn't remember me too much. Would be kinda awkward" a small laugh sounded from the young stallion, " So how are we goin about this ? I could find a local drinkin hole and see if I can find a dealer. " He suggested as a start. @@Hazard Time, "You seem the most excited about it, maybe you can be our ever so enthusiastic leader ? "
  14. As usual Skyhop was silent. Not saying much, he rose from the chair and looked out the window one last time before walking over to the room to watch big shot. He couldnt help but chuckle at everyone banter, especially the captains reaction. Finding himself a chair, he plopped down and threw up his feet onto the table. " Come on now yall, dont need ya going into heat just before we start a mission" He softly says before leaning back, "Next thing we know yall are gonna be droolin over your guns and the ship too" He smiles. Turning his attention towards the TV, he hoped a good bounty would come up. They needed money and he needed something to do. Especially if it meant he could go swimming or diving. He had not been around water often in his past, but he had a fondness for it and enjoyed swimming when he could. @@Orange Sparks, "How about some SCUBA gear, nothin like skin tight rubber right ? " Skyhop made an unusual attempt at a joke.
  15. I think said final went well :D

  16. Skyhop watched as Clockwork brought the ship down. Now that he knew the very basic controls of the ship, he would learn from watching Clockwork bring the ship in. Each action he took helped Skyhop understand just a bit more. As they came closer to the large blue marble, his eyes grew wide. The ocean expanded from horizon to horizon. The only land Skyhop could make out was artificial cities dotting the vast blue plain that swept across the planet. "Lets hope this colony is as pretty as it looks from orbit" He whispers to himself.
  17. Skyhop was listening to the conversations in the background, but was mostly focused on the basic flying. He watched Clockwork carefully and digested each word he said slowly. The stallion was right, it was a lot like driving a car, except with a lot more to consider on a three dimensional plain. " I think I'm starting to get the hang of this" He announced, giving a rare genuine smile out towards the blue planet.
  18. Taking my first final of te week, wish me luck :D

  19. IF you really think so, you might want to get tested for it. If diagnosed, it could open up many reasources to you that would help you succeed and acclimate.
  20. Well, time to finish my homework and get to bed, goodnight everyone :D

  21. @@Orange Sparks, @@Hazard Time, "I think I got all that..." Skyhop peers over to Clockwork again then back up to the view outside the ship. For a second he looses himself in the view. He could not wait to get off the ship and walk around. Maybe even hunt a bounty again, action always did keep life moving at a good pace. He grinned slightly as the present returned to him. Maybe once they landed he could go for a swim and get the stir craze out of his system. "It's a very....wet planet. I'm not seeing any land down there" He says squinting at the vast oceans that engulf the planet, " I wonder what they do down there for entertainment and such"
