Jeremy: "Really? D-"

~A loud banging sound would shake the interior, and the AV would flip upside down once before regaining control.~

Jeremy: "Fuck, you alright..?" He'd look around at the broken glass on the floor from the bottles.

~An alarm sound would come from the cockpit. Jeremy would unbuckle and run to the cockpit.~

Jeremy: "What the hell happened?!"

Dem: She'd get up quickly.

Pilot: "Gotta put her down..one of our thrusters has been hit by a..something! It's completely fried."

~The AV would gradually decline in altitude. The inside would shake uncontrollably.~

Dem: She'd use her powers to help lower the AV and set up a forcefield around the AV. "Ugh..."

Pilot: "Wh-How?!"

Dem: "J-just shut up and let me do this..."

Pilot: "Okay..hold on..."

~The AV would crash-land in a field safely before coming to a halt. The impact would knock Jeremy and Dem to their feet. Smoke and debris would blind the view outside the windows.~

Dem: "I'm going outside."

~The AV would open its cargo doors with an illuminated path.~

Dem: She'd step outside, looking around cautiously.

~Jeremy would get out coughing and in disbelief.~

Jeremy: "D-Dem! Watch out!" He'd push Dem back inside. "You don't know who could've shot us out of the sky!"

Dem: She'd teleport out of the way.

~There was no sign of the second AV that was meant to be following behind them.~

Dem: "Shit-"

~The pilot would step outside and check on the thruster.~

Pilot: "Dammit. I'll try comms." He'd try to radio for help but to no avail.

Dem: She'd look around for the other AV.

~The other two inmates would step out coughing.~

Dem: She'd start coughing up blood. "Where the hell is the other AV?!"

Pilot: I was beginning to ask myself the same thing. He'd turn on his thermal glasses. "I don't see any wreckage or aerial vehicles at all...Comms won't work either unless, by some miracle, one of you knows how to operate one."

~Jeremy would raise his hand.~

Jeremy: "I was taught by my dad many years ago, but I may have trouble with this since it's new tech..."

~The pilot would lead Jeremy into the cockpit. An AV would fly overhead with scratched paint on the side with the words -LiTech" The other two inmates would run out and see who it was.~

Dem: She'd teleport onto the AV overhead. There would be all sorts of cargo all over the place onboard. She'd look through the cargo. It would be old Militech soldier uniforms and Militech firearms. "Shouldn't these be destroyed..."

~A camera detects Dem and turns on a red blinding alarm light.~

Dem: "Sh-shit..."

~Two armed robots exit the cockpit.~
