The Field Trip

[The Mighty Thor]

Rocketing down the runway, 'Vok watched as Chandi manipulated the controls that sent them flying off to retrieve De. He couldn't help but notice how very similar the panel layouts were to Shiar vessel schematics. In fact, he figured he could probably fly the thing if he had to. It was a far cry from the propeller driven Earth vessels that he had seen flown in the past. Those things scared him. Nothing between yourself and the ground but a twisted piece of wood...no thanks.

Oh, and while we’re there we’re gonna pick up De. Be back soon...over...out.” ‘Vok grinned slightly as he placed the radio handset back in its cradle. But then a thought crossed his mind that hadn’t before. Looking over at Chandi he asked, “Ya know the jet is great and all. It’ll get us to New York lickety split, but how exactly do ya plan to land this beast on the top of a sky-scraper?”
