Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No equipment then," Wen noted, pulling higher into the air. He glanced at the radar briefly and then at the map of the city. "There's nowhere to land though. I can drop you off at a football field in the city, but you'll have to walk the remainder of the way there."

A few taps on the digital monitors later, he mused, "You could probably take a hoverboard...I'm assuming you don't want me to come along?"

Wen pursed his lips and nodded, shifting the map around and zooming out. "I'll have to stop the plane elsewhere then...."

He glanced at the map again, maneuvering the craft with one hand. After a long while, he shrugged and brought other screens forward. With a jerk of his hand, they sped up; the nose dipped down momentarily before leveling out again.

An hour and ten minutes had passed since they left the base in China. Wen angled the craft downwards towards the village, flicking on a silencing mechanism as well as a cloaking device as they dipped under the clouds and neared land.

"I'm going to land her on the giant pond in the park," he called to Milinda as the craft continued its rapid descent.

They landed without incident in the giant pond, the near- invisible jet scattered only a few of the birds there and a small splash. Luckily, the only two people in the vicinity was a couple kissing on the grass and they ignored the brief moment of chaos.

Wen cut the engine completely but ensured the invisibility wards were up and secure. He reached in the back and grabbed a bag and rummaged through it. I guess I can't use a sniper rifle for this... he thought, pulling a few short lasers out and slipping them into various pockets.

"Poison?" he muttered, offering a jar of tablets to Milinda. He grabbed a few more objects before opening the door. "I'm ready."

Just a suggestion, Wen snapped in his head. If it weren't for the nature of the mission, I wouldn't be quite so nice.

He activated a hoverboard and glided quietly to the shore and sat on a bench, fiddling with tech. Over his eyes he set the glasses and was instantly ordering it--via eye contact--to bring up maps and turn on various functions.

Wen sighed, a headache forming. "Fine. Tell me."

You know, I really don't care. Wen thought, taking the glasses off and preparing to get back on the hoverboard. I'll just say she died in the process. I'm just the pilot, I won't be blamed. And there's no spying on the assassin's anyways. I could go back no problem. Brilliant.

"Good for you," he said, stretching his arms. "So. You were right behind them, about to finish them off without notice, when another assassin's bullet hit you. I heard the transmission cut off and escaped." He smiled and planted both feet on the hoverboard.

"G'bye then."

He was about to fly back to the ship and leave without incident, when suddenly a dagger flew out of the air and whistled past him, missing his chest by centemeters and leaving a scar in the vest. Wen jumped off the board and sought shelter behind trees, dragging Milinda with him.

With trepidation, he peeked through the branches and in the direction their adversary had shot from. The couple on the grass was no longer kissing, and the woman was holding a dagger--much unlike the one that was now wobbling fearfully close to them and the man was twirling another dagger, identical to hers.

Assassins? Or murderers? Wen thought, dodging a second dagger that flew at them. He rushed to another hiding spot and reset the glasses, and locked onto the couple, ordering a bio on each of them.

"I have no idea what parents are supposed to be like," Wen gasped as they ran, Milinda's parents chasing them. "But I'm guessing they don't try to kill their own daughter!"

He led the way through the maze of the park, running madly in any direction he could, so long as it was away from the other assassins.

"We need to find a way to fight, or get back to the ship. Any ideas?" he asked, jumping down rocks and flicking the safety off a laser.
