Chapter 34 - Plan B

I ran out of the building and down to the chopper. Our craft wasn't designed to fly within the atmosphere for long periods of time, getting it to the transporter would use up far too much fuel. I had to find something that we could use to get it here.

I flew the chopper to the hanger near the runway. After landing I ran inside to find something that could carry the craft. Inside there were several triple bladed cargo choppers. This should do the trick. I was banking on the hope that their power cell could hold enough juice to get to Washington and back.

Having duplicated the procedure I used to power up my first chopper I replaced the power cell in the cargo chopper. Using the small tow vehicle outside I brought the cargo chopper out onto the runway.

After spending about a half an hour looking over the controls I was ready to go.

The three blades got up to speed and I achieved lift.
