.: The Avian:.

"Avian? Please play the song 'Love Cassette from the Future' by Funny Death."

::Searching. Found. Playing 'Love Cassette from the Future' by Funny Death::

It's been nearly a decacycle on the ship and Valor's joints were uncomfortably stiff.

::Attention. Entering Earth's orbit in approximately 10 astroseconds. Please engage safety belts.::

A pleased sigh escapes her vocalizer as the tall femme stretches pleasantly and fastens said safety belt across her lap. "Avian, activate stealth shield and counter surveilance against the Nemesis. I don't want them shooting us down before we even get to the ground."

::Affirmative::

The Avian shakes and groans as it enters the atmosphere, the warm orange of Nevada's landscape coming into view. Valor's vessel lands in between two tall, rocky cliff faces barely wide enough for her ship to hide.

Unfastening her belt, Val gets up from the command center chair and makes her way to the ship's small armory

Unfastening her belt, Val gets up from the command center chair and makes her way to the ship's small armory. On its own shelf is the femme's preferred weapon of choice:

The Star Lance.

Solus had made this weapon specifically for her sister. The tip of the weapon was split down the middle for aerodynamicy, built for deadly speed. At the base of the blade was a black, glittery scrap of fabric nearly identical to the hip scarf she wore around her waist. But the most important part of the weapon was the black shard of crystal nestled in the center of the split blade.

The crystal could split 'tears' in the fabric of the universe. These 'tears' would take the user to whichever place they would desire; essentially a means of teleportation. Very handy when dealing with scraplets.

Valor lifts the lance and turns on her personal cloaking device. One quick slash opens a tear in the storage bay of the Nemesis. A quick step through closes the portal and due to the silence aboard the ship, she had yet to be discovered.

Activating her visor and HUD reveals a small miniature map in the upper right portion of the screen. The map sends a repeated pulse along the ground to map out the area accordingly. Another check indicates only a small group of Vehicons on this level of the ship. Easy enough.

The lithe femme stalks through the corridors of the Nemesis, passing the medic Knockout's lab and seeing a positively nauseating sight of what looked to be a vehicon on his vivisection table.
