Ping sats in her albatross thinking back while flying along over the forests. She is: 24 with the height of 5ft with a ponytail tied at the back. She never saw the importance of delivering supplies though she always did them, that is considering she had been for 4 years now. In the back of the airship was a large amount of rations, ammo (though she never saw it used by anyone ever), and of course in military style more guns. The need for all this seemed to escape her, it was a mining planet after all and the military practically ran the place. The resources were important and new what they were as well since she was born into a small mining community. The area was reasonably close to the equator causing it to be quite warm while the aluminium, tantalum and copper was collected. Back in her early life she despised the idea of mining for the rest of her life so that led her to where she is now with an improved strength. This improved strength was due to her hours in the mine. She gets snapped out of her thoughts when she sees the base of in the distance It sat near one of the larger mining towns so after a minute or two of flying over the dense forest she takes it down slow. The lands it on one of the few landing pads before opening the doors to let the assigned personnel to take over before turning it off and hopping out the cockpit and onto the concrete before. It had been a long day and it felt great to be on the ground again after a day of ferrying supplies from the hub base down at Fayrock to wherever it was needed.

As night began to fall and the areas sun descended over the horizon as dusk arrived blanketing the base in black she stepped into the base being hit with a bright artificial light. Walking through some of the few hallways to the canteen chattering could be heard from the fellow soldiers that ended up sounding like monkeys. She went over to get her food picking between the different foods on offer before getting a simple Mac & Cheese and trying to locate her long time friend Cormag. After seeing him at the corner table, with very few others at it, she walked over to him and sat next to him. She'd known him since she was a kid when her parents had died when the mine had collapsed crushing them to death. He had been there to comfort her he always had he, unlike her, was 6ft with dark skin with a shaved head, small goatee beard and bright green eyes.
"So…anything happen today for you then" Cormag said breaking the silence.
"Not really, I flew supplies to and from various places." She said "How about you?"
"Well for the most part it was just a lot of patrols, dead animals and poor humour to say the least of my day" He says before yawning "but now I have a chance to sleep and rest up for tomorrow so if you are done then we can walk down to the barracks."
She hurriedly eats the last of my food before clearing up to walk down with Cormag before going our separate ways.
"You know you could have been a courier if you'd wanted to." He says.
She snorts "Yeah keep talking" She replies "If I'd known I might of. It'd be the same thing but different employers."
"You know the ops centre has been going wild recently people with papers have been running round like headless chickens" He said "Something about missing deliveries satellites going haywire or up and disappearing."
"Could just be some mistakes or loss of signal you know how gossip thrives around here, relax." She says "Well this is my stop I'll see you later."
He just nods and goes to the male barracks while she goes to the female barracks. The barracks over all only houses 300 hundred people with it being such a small base it wasn't the best manned base in the region but it dissuaded most attacks.

Ping pushed open the door and walked down the line to where her bunk was before taking her gear of and pulling her self up the ladder and laying down but not before she checked something. She felt under the pillow to find her M6K Magnum under there still before collapsing under the covers and falling straight to sleep to the sounds of the continued monkey chatter.

After waking up about 5-6 o'clock she pulled her self out of bed feeling refreshed and ready for the day or whatever may been thrown at her. She then climbed back down to get dressed go to the toilet and have a shower before heading to the mess hall after getting back into her flight suit. She went to have breakfast and started noticing the activity first hand this time more intense than she had thought it was going to be. She sat next to Cormag to eat her cereal when he started talking.
"You sure this is nothing or just a haywire satellite still then?" He said "this doesn't seem right something is up it."
As soon as he'd said that an announcement came over the loud speaker.
"All personnel stand by for orders and all pilots get to your aircraft as soon as possible." The voice said.
She runs off to grab her helmet and Magnum before rushing through the doors out to the airstrip and to her Albatross before climbing in and intently waiting for a voice to crackle onto the radio.
