End Phase:
Snow’s confident advance into the fog was brought to a premature halt when he nearly tripped over a parked bus.
“Careful, Leutnant,” said his imagination, in the guise of Private Grivaldi—a soldier who’d been under his command in the Lyran Guard. “It’d ruin the surprise if you tripped over a bus—”
Hail’s Javelin interrupted his internal monologue as it descended on screaming jets that colored the surrounding fog a brilliant orange. Hail’s Jav flashed a thumbs-up as it touched down, its form fading back into the gray the moment his jets deactivated.
“That’s just eerie,” Snow mumbled quietly—the bizarre camouflage was perfect for this weather. They were like massive ghosts, not so much flitting through the fog as plowing through it. It also felt strange looking up at a Javelin’s cockpit; reminding Snow once again how tiny the Assassin really was. He was forced to compare it, unfavorably, to his own Thunderbolt. Well, this was a whole different game—he’d known that from the start.
