You might remember this particular stance from a digital sketch I did back in 2015.
I thought I could improve on the actual concept itself and decided to draw it out in pencil to see what changes were needed.
Some dialogue from the story I have been working on.
***NOTE: ANY QUOTES FROM CHARACTERS IN CAPITALS IS RADIO CHATTER, if quotes are not in capitals then it's been said verbally.***
>>>TASK_FORCE_ALPHA_CLOCK : 21:22:10 | JULY 4, 2035<<<
It was the longest helicopter ride Zayev had ever been on. He sat in the middle chair next to his teammate Shade on the right, on his left was Magnus and Luxe and across from him was Toby, Sarah and Szayel. The constant sound of the helicopter blades made stuff hard to hear even with his earpiece on. A red light came on in the helicopter, and the radio came on.
“ALPHA ONE THIS IS EAGLE ONE, WE ARE ENTERING THE DANGER ZONE, ENGAGING BLADE SUPPRESSION GET YOUR TEAM PREPPED.”
“AFFIRMATIVE EAGLE ONE!”
Everybody stood up and readied their weapons including Zayev who was holding his suppressed XM109 Barrett. Once they got ready the blade noise went down, the engine noise came to a complete silence. To Zayev, it was like floating on air.
“WE ARE INBOUND WAIT FOR THE GREEN LIGHT!”
A good 30 seconds went by and the chopper slowed to a stop in the air just above a clearing, the green light came on.
“ROPES DOWN, GO GO GO!!!!”
Two ropes went down the sides of the helicopter, Zayev grabbed on to the rope on the right side of the chopper and slid down. His boots hit the floor and he ran a few steps forward stopped and held a crouched position. He took a quick glance behind him and found Shade sliding down the rope followed by the rest of the group. He heard boots hit the ground as he scanned the area for any immediate threats. The chopper flew away, the only way Zayev could tell was that there was no wind weighing him down. He took another glance behind him and found the team in a circle watching all angles. It was extremely quiet….
Magnus broke the silence “ALPHA squad fall in.”
The team formed a closed circle still looking outwards into the tree line.
Magnus barked an order “Ratchet we need to find our way back to this LZ (Landing Zone).”
Ratchet responded instantly “On it.” as he took out a piece of hardware from his bag what Zayev was assuming was a beacon and stuck it in the ground.
“Alright, everyone remember their jobs? Collect any intel possible, eliminate as many enemies as possible while keeping stealthy and then blow this place sky high, you got it?” Magnus asked as if it was rhetorical. There was a quiet chorus of “Yes, sir” and “Affirmative” from the group.
“Okay” Magnus responded “Move out.”
Shade patted Zayev’s shoulder and jogged ahead of him which meant “I’m on point, follow.” So Zayev did just that, he jogged behind Shade into the tree line.
