Lightning Strikes Twice
Who| District 13 Mission-goers
What| Time to rescue what District kids have survived
Where| Near some edge of the arena
When| During Week 4
Warnings/Notes| Please put any necessary warnings in your thread headers.
There were no sign ups involved this time, this was an off-worlder idea which means the off-worlders clearly have every desire to see this through; you signed up with your consent. The mission is to be held in the evening, so the morning is spent preparing, stocking up the hovercraft with medical supplies, arming everyone, donning the now familiar all black attire. When the alert is sent out, it's simply to gather in the hanger and begin loading.
As promised, there's no sign of a 13-issued leader involved, it's on the mission team and it's assigned tactical head to lead themselves; all Webb gives the group is a chipper smile and 'Good Luck.'
The sun is just beginning it's descent when the hovercraft leaves the hanger. The flight isn't nearly as long as the one to District 3, but it's long enough that the sun has dipped below the horizon when the hovercraft stops. Stopping doesn't mean landing, however. The team's resident off-worlder pilot comes on over the speaker with given instructions: time to strap up and get ready to do a little sky-diving.
The plan is simple really. Should the hackers do their job, the storms will do as they're told and strike the dome below the hovercraft all at the same time, breaking the barrier and making a hole big enough for the strike team to carry out the rescue. Hackers strapped in and strike team ready to zipline down, the hovercraft's door opens to the windy outside, allowing a wonderful view of the bright flash and deafening crash a minute later as the weather codes carry out their destruction.
Time to move.

"We... we gotta hurry then? If we don't have to die, I uh, I don't want to..." he stammers, swallowing as his heart starts pounding with a different kind of fear.

"You're not gonna die, Rotor, all right? I won't let that happen. Come on, I'll take you somewhere safe - but yeah, we gotta hurry."
Assuming the kid doesn't protest, Sam'll tug him back the way he came, towards the waiting hovercraft.
/end thread?
"OK. Th-thank you..."
He scrambles to follow in a timely manner, hope swelling in him and lending his exhausted limbs some motivation to keep moving and trying.
