Touchdown

"We did it," Claudy muttered once we slid onto the ground, quickly reaching the precipice beyond which the slope of the mountain took a turn and started to move down. 

"WE FUCKING DID IT!"

Hearing the powerful scream coming from the man, I nearly turned around to cast a look. 

In fact, if not for Fay reaching out and tapping my hand, I might've fallen to this desire!

But Claudy's celebration came way too soon. And the focus-demanding tasks that were still ahead of us were the reason why I couldn't even waste time sparing the man a single damn glance. 

"Wait, why are we not sto…"

The hovercraft reached the edge of the flat part of the mountain surrounding the hole… And dove straight down.

And now that we were down and close to the ground, the closeness of the usual frame of our reference only made us feel our speed more. 

'How are the readings…?'

I raised my eyes to the display, confirming the flickering numbers.
