Re: C9 : 3rd Platoon - Squad Two
Amy actually poses and gestures artfully to her pride and joy. "Thats right, its the Wayland-Yutani Pelican Drop Ship, state of the art. Look at its sleek lines, powerful engines, and not only is it capable of full VTOL flight but its submersible as well. Designed for tricky infil and exfiltration as well as combat drops and extraction. Its a miracle of modern technology." Here is someone who clearly has more than a little attachment to her toys. The dropships design shows hints of what it's descendands will be in the future, colonial marine dropships, but this version is not yet transatmospheric. It has a cocpit section somewhat reminiscent of that from an apache but with smoother curving lines leading to a much larger main body. While optimized for carrying vechicles rather than powered armor it is sleek and longer than it is tall with a front facing entry and exit that lowers half the cargo area as a ramp. It has two small stubby wing extentions off of its major flight turbines that have several hardpoints as well as a long tail section for stabalization while in flight or under water.
OOC: Yes, its basically a precurser to the dropship from Aliens.
Catching Vashtt's question on the wind Amy turns and cocks her head slightly to the side. "Hmm, well before that want to see if you can outrun me first? The Pelican might be just a little faster, but I haven't had a real challenge in years."
