Tegan hastily double-checked the straps holding the jet-wing assembly snugly against her back, trying to block out the smell of smoke and the sounds of fighting rising from the roof access hatch behind her. An hour of discussing the design of the flight pack and watching Jahred use it to deliver medical supplies to the village below was not the same as learning how to use it properly, but Jahred was in a Loyalist jail cell now, and there were, after all, only so many ways to design the flight surfaces on a powered wing ( ... )

At first, she thought she was still coming in too fast, but the repulsors gained more power the closer she got to the ground. Half a second before she was expecting it, her feet touched grass and she was stumbling forward across somebody's courtyard, crying out as her left ankle failed to take her weight properly and sent her sprawling onto her side. The jet-wing powered off automatically upon impact, but the harness twisted tightly across her torso, sharp edges digging painfully into her back ( ... )

So much for the hard limit of 4300 characters. Oops.

Oh but it is absolutely lovely! :D I like the visual of Nyssa and the Doctor gaping from afar. Great character voices too! :)

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Brevity = not my thing, apparently. :-)

Aw, that was brilliant! You've captured that TARDIS team very well - it's great. :-)

Glad you liked it! And, hey, can I ask you a quick question which is in no way related to the upcoming Spring Sixathon? (*ahem*) Should I assume that you have listened to both Project: Lazarus and Arrangements for War?

And, um, no, sorry, I am terribly behind with lots of Big Finish ranges, plus I have some gaps, and haven't heard either of those yet. (Of Six & Evelyn I have Marian Conspiracy, Spectre of Lanyon Moor, Apocalypse Element, Bloodtide, Jubilee, Pirates & Medicinal Purposes.) Obviously, this was nothing to do with anything, of course, but... I hope that isn't too awkward.

Re: Flight (Tegan, Nyssa, Five) Rated G 2/2 ponygirl72 April 29 2013, 19:13:52 UTC

Not at all! I'm glad I asked before writing something that you probably don't want to read quite yet. ;-)

Ahhh, Tegan! Ever the fiesty daredevil!! And how perfect was this?!

*HUGS*

Thank you! Poor Five... I don't think he knows what to do with her, sometimes. ;-)
