<span style="color: #FF0000"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: 116%;">Carine Devonhard</span><br/>Carrie</div></span><br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;"><a class="postlink" href="http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o793/Galvin_Fugazi/6814106f-fc04-471d-9875-aea3475cd61a_zpsdb498126.jpg">[ img ]</a></div><br/><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Carine had wasted no second after she had heard the sensational news. In ten minutes she had been ready to go, her fieldpack with clothes and some special toys for Kira packed and the two girls had used a shuttle to the military compound. It had been a while that Carine had maneuvered a hexapod and her hands were sweaty, when she took place in the seat and strapped herself in. Kira had taken place in an emergency seat behind her, the first time she had entered such a war vehicle. In principle it was a gun tower on six long legs, looking like a gigantic spider. <br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">„Alright, the first miles may be a little bumpy until I have my routine back. But we manage that, we manage that...“</span> <br/><br/>Carrie had encouraged herself with those words and indeed, after damaging some buildings on the first steps, it got more and more fluent in movement. Once they passed the giant gate in the wall, Carrie put the joystick forward and the large hexapod rushed forward, until she had to slow it down entering the jungle.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">„I can't believe it. I made it. I am outside of Ovia, I am in the jungle.....adventure here I come. Oh, Kira, I love you, I really love you for making this dream come true. Yippppiieeeeeeeeeee....“</span><br/><br/>Carine had nearly crashed the hexapod, when her hand moved the joystick around. It was a sturdy design, but the control was tricky. Sweat broke out on her forehead, while she fought with the controls to keep the hexapod from rolling upside down.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">„Oooooops. I guess I better concentrate on my job here. Ok, Kira, here is the plan. You said we have to be as quick as possible with the princess. Usually nobody moves at night, you make your camp and you install your defense devices to be safe from th carnivores. But this thing here has some nice, fully loaded weapons and powerful lights. We will move all night, outrun the rescue party and if I get too tired, we take a break and rest. That's ok for you?“</span><br/><br/>Kira grunted some yes. She seemed not to feel too well.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">„Oh, you are podsick. We all have been on our first travels. This rolling movement is kind of disturbing for starters. There must be some pills on your left and a bag on your right...I warn you, don't puke in my neck.“</span><br/><br/>And Carine laughed down the retching noises of Kira when she moved quickly through the jungle, leaving a trail of broken branches and leafs behind. She powered up some of the guns. You never know what may cross your way.</div>
