PS: Other characters will be introduced in this chapter!
Chapter 36 - Droppings and QATs Part 1
As the days passed by, more opportunities came for Splero and his friends. One day, Splero and his friends were going to report to the Abezian Islands along with Buster, Nitra and the De Havilland Trios...
"Guys, we're going to the Abezian Islands because we're going to tend some issues in there. So we're going to be gone for a few days." - Splero said -
"Abezio and Abezia will be here with all of you, guys. So also some of our sons and daughters too. They were not needed for our rough assignment in there." - Kyla added -
"Uhh...Ok, guys. Take care on your assignments by the way." - Dusty replied -
"Thanks, Dusty. We'll see you guys soon." - Splero said -
Splero and his friends bid their goodbyes and godspeeds before they finally departed en route to the Abezian Islands. Abezio and Abezia saw their departure in their new hangar made by Maru, Dottie and Parez. Dipper approached the duo...
"So, guys...What can you do now, eh?" - Dipper asked -
"We're going to do some Droppings and QATs today, Dipper." - Abezio replied -
"QATs? What's that?" - Dipper asked -
"QATs means for "Quick Assessment Trips", Dipper. I done those tasks during the Abezian Nationalization along with Abezio, the United Nations and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies." - Abezia explained the details -
"So, you mean that you're going to do some quick transport of something. Right?" - Dipper asked -
"Precisely!" - Abezio and Abezia replied in unison, both of them were also smiling to her -
"Now that's a good task that you have to take, guys." - Dipper said -
"It's good, Dipper but doing it can be daunting, though." - Abezio added -
"Why?" - Dipper asked -
"Doing these tasks were pretty hard because you're dropping relief supplies on hordes of personnel. Civilian or Soldier alike and you're also transporting a lot of evacuees to different destinations." - Abezio said -
"You're also in the risks of getting refueled repeatedly." - Abezia added -
"So? What's wrong with that?" - Dipper asked -
"Fuel's hard to find in the Abezian Islands, Dipper. We have limited oil reserves there." - Abezio said -
"Oh" - Dipper realized -
Abezio clears his throat...
"Ok, Dipper. We're going to do our training again in the field along with Blade, Cabbie and Dusty." - Abezio said -
"Hey, Abezio. Wait for me." - Abezia followed -
"Dipper, want to join with us in the skies?" - Abezio asked -
"Sure, Abezio. I would like to see you guys try." - Dipper replied -
Dipper followed them. Moments later, they went to the skies above. Blade, Cabbie and Dusty were already in the airspace. As they flew, Blade practiced on carrying truck models from long distances, Cabbie on dropping out the Smokejumpers on the designated landing points and Dusty practiced his water firefighting skills while doing aerobatics...
"Hey, guys! Glad to see you all in the skies!" - Blade said -
"Yeah, you're right. We're going to practice our skills again, Blade." - Abezio replied -
"So, Abezio...What's your skills?" - Dusty asked -
"I'm doing some dropping runs while Abezia will do some QATs with Splero's sons and daughters." - Abezio replied -
"Ok, Abezio. Duly-noted." - Dusty stated -
Abezio flew above the skies as high as possible, then he dropped a few empty UN Crates onto the designated drop zone created by Kiana and Tyler. Some of the crates landed just a few meters from the paved spot. Kiana was checking it from the ground...
"Too early, Abezio. Try the drop again with a slow approach." - Kiana said -
"Copy that, Kiana. I'll try it again but this time, i'll fly at 260 knots" - Abezio replied -
Dusty overheard their conversation...
"Abezio, is that Kiana?" - Dusty asked -
"Yes, Dusty. Meet Kiana. Kiana is Splero's daughter and Tyler's sister." - Abezio replied with an introduction -
Kiana changed her radio frequency so she could greet Dusty...
"Hey, Dusty. Nice to meet you." - Kiana greeted -
"Nice to meet you too, Kiana. Where's your brother Tyler?" - Dusty asked -
"He's with Abezia." - Kiana replied -
"Ok, Kiana. If i had time, i'll meet your brother too." - Dusty said -
"Sure, Dusty. Why not?" - Kiana replied -
Abezio then tried to try his dropping run again but this time, he flew slow and he dropped more UN Crates to the said spot. The UN Crates finally landed on the spot...
"Abezio, the UN Crates landed on the said spot. Good drop!" - Kiana said -
"Thanks, Kiana. Returning back to base camp." - Abezio replied -
"Copy that, Abezio." - Kiana replied back -
The red and white C-130 then flew away and returned to base camp. Dusty watches him from a distance...
This is the end of Chapter 36. Abezio and Abezia were now practicing their skills along with Dusty and his friends. Stay tuned for Chapter 37, everyone!
