Bad Day in Hell

You try to disregard the pulsating vein in Sarge's forehead. You have no doubt that you're in for hell just as soon as basecamp is established, but Winston's dumbfounded expression alone is worth it.

The scientists finish loading the last of their gear and begin boarding just as the pilots arrive, late as usual. Typical flyboys. You catch one of them eyeing Nina from behind as he follows her into the dropship.

The other pilot unseals the airlock to your own dropship and steps in. Sarge follows, along with a slack-jawed Winston and a blank-faced Tits.
