Wind and white light assaulted her senses as she woke up. She saw only whiteness around her, and a falling sensation that she had only felt when she was skydiving solo. Shaking off the fog that was fading fast, she flailed around and her hands rested on familiar harness straps that went with a parachute.<br/><br/>How had she gotten here, was she dreaming, or was this a prank. It didnt feel like a dream, nor would anyone pull a prank like this on her, not to this magnitude.<br/>Caitlin cried out as she fell and fell, through the clouds and below her, she saw a forest. Taking deep breaths, her fingers settled on something agianst her chest, that made a deep beeping sound, and got faster as she got closer to terra firma.<br/><br/>Panicing as she was sure that she would dig her own grave, literally, she pushed at it and yelled at it. "Pull..deploy dammit", she cried out as she spun around and around. Just as she feared she would indeed dig her own grave, the strange item attached to her chest and webbing gave one last beep, then she was spun around again as the parachute deployed at last.<br/><br/>Swinging from side to side as her descent was slowed dramatically, she held on as she descended to the ground, through the trees to stop 15 feet from the ground as her parachute was caught in branches. Just as she was about to reach for her knife to cut herself free, the webbing parted and she fell to land on the ground hard.<br/><br/>Gasping for breath as she lay there, she slowly sat up and checked herself for injuries. She still had her M-16E, assorted flashbang grenades, sidearm, and her body armor had protected her upper body from harm. Where was she, and who would drop her out of a plane to land in a strange jungle.
