[b]Return of the Smugglers[/b]
A miasma of light rippled throughout the atmosphere of Tatakai as a ship sliced into its atmosphere, air rippling and tending around the craft as it barreled to the planet's snowy surface, fire starting to flicker around its perimeter. The ship was rather large, a heavy carrier, mounted with many retracting weapons and artillery mortars. On its silver side was an [url=https://imgur.com/a/oGuL9]insignia[/url], a large arrow slung by the quiver of a bow, chipped away by time and temperament. Underneath was the large caption [b]The Arrowhead[/b], written in bolded font.
The ship gently touched down right outside the Dojo, thrusters at the rear of the spacecraft softening the descent. A blizzard raged heavily, pounding against the high, steel walls of the Dojo. The mast of the freighter opened into a long inclined stairway, falling onto the fresh and powdery snow. Silence engulfed the area for only a second before an ember shimmered out among the raging sleet, the end of a cigar, firmly planted within the lips of a harrowed soldier.
He was armed to the brim, multiple firearms, a large broadsword and belt of gear strewn about his bulgy frame, wearing a large leather coat. His hair of chestnut tossed back and forth in the biting wind, striking eyes matching the light color of his surroundings. The soldier looked around him, took a long drag from his cigar, and continued down the steps. A small hop led to his combat boots planted inches deep in the snow. He raised his hands, willing the others to emerge from the interior of the ship.

His voice had a synthetic edge and the traces of an Arabic accent) "I wish to join the arrowhead."

[i]Behind him, two soft flames slowly lofted to the ground, emanating from two black boots. Upon the melted snow stood another man, clad in a crimson jacket, which somehow protected him against the freezing temperatures. In the flurry of snow, not much of him could be seen, but for the shining blue radiating from his palms, his boots, and his right eye. Michael Drake's unmistakeable voice cut through the sharp wind like paper,[/i] "Sawyer, couldn't we have done this during the Summer?"

Sawyer watched as Drake approached, taking pride in his leader and the well-endowed ship the Arrowhead crew shared. To think of how far they had came together filled him with bittersweet, melancholy feelings. It had been a long time since they first formed, riddled with trials and tribulations; that much was certain. "No, not really. The Dojo is on a mountain range. Always snowing up here. It's cold, yes, but could prove advantageous if we were to get into a firefight. Limited visibility..." He drifted off as he looked at the Dojo wall, huge in mass, embroiled with grand markings of valor, heroism. Brimming with the most elite of the Galaxy. And they were about to defile it and stir the anger of everyone within. Great. Sawyer exhaled deeply. "You ready? Where are the other guys?"

[i]Drake shared the same sentiments about his crew, his little group of brothers that faced some of the most powerful beings in the Galaxy, and lived to tell the tail. Melancholy, however, was not a familiar emotion for the man, and so he chose to replace it with irritability. [/i] "Once Winchester's out, we can go in. Want a quick recap of the plan?" [i]He paused, though the question was rhetorical.[/i] "'Course you do. The Arrowhead's gonna blow a hole in that wall with its plasma accelerators, and before the dust clears, we'll be inside. You and Winchester are gonna do all of the heavy lifting--y'know, fighting people and stuff--while I go after Alpha. Chances are, communications are going to get EMPd, so we'll have to rely on something else. If it's time for a retreat, just fire a flare straight up, and we'll fall back to the ship." [i]He tapped the side of his head, by his temple, and an onyx helmet suddenly formed over his face. It looked almost like what ancient astronauts used to wear, with the curvaceous visor, and while it was relatively ugly, Drake liked the antique look of the thing. He certainly made for a dashing figure, at any rate. [/i] "Any questions?"

Sawyer looked at the Dojo sullenly, pondering the thought of risk for only a few seconds more before taking a deep breath and shaking his head. "None. Grab Winchester, let's get this show on the road."

Edited by Spyglass: 10/30/2016 2:46:32 PM[i]Drake turned around and almost went to get him, before he hesitated, and then turned around, with an indignant tone in his voice.[/i] "Hey, I'm the Captain here. [i]You[/i] go get him, you lazy arse."

Sawyer smiled, climbed back onto the ship's retractable incline and walked into the bowels of the craft in seek of Winchester.
