They're all inside the small electric helicopter. There's a good chance they've had this ride before, one of the few upkept and powered by RSX and Zephyr. The pilot has a RSX badge on their shoulder. "We're reaching the limit of how far the copter can go and still get back on one charge," comes his voice, not directly, but through a speaker.
Meanwhile Smolder is currently happy to have a ride since walking was quite hard after meeting a certain fennec fox while attempting to patrol her home turf from intruders. Even now however the dragoness was eyeing the others up in the helicoptor, even leaning over to sniff at them as the vehicle moves along. Snuffsnuff!
Bilyso relaxes on his seat, looking out the window.

Looking at his COMM unit, he got a bit amused. It looks like the Zephyr need some agent for a hunt... a big hunt. And right now, sitting on a helicopter, he is travelling to the site, fully gear up, try to get himself calm for his first ever big mission.
Zacdailey just sits their
Zophah is in her seat, going over the tools in her bag to make sure she can handle things. "This is probably our last chance to go over things. If anyone has questions, now's the time." For once Zophah is wearing power armor, if only to get that extra layer of protection from infection. "And if I have to go over it again, DON'T GET SCRATCHED. packmind wolves are more infectious than anything you've ever encountered."
Bilyso dooks, "So I may have been napping through part of the briefing, what was our mission again"
"That's a copy," comes the pilot's voice, seeming to agree with Zophah. "Lucky you, that's exactly what we found. On the positive, we're in the null zone. Nanites are about as good as dead, and that works for them as much as you. They _should_ have a harder time getting you, but don't rely on that. We're going in." The helicoper begins to descend, hearts and bellies rising with the acceleration. "Thank you for flying RSX."
Bilyso Puts on his power armor as well
Smolder goes to lean towards Zophah when they sneak and snuffles at the weird thing on them only to paw it it a few times as if confused by the power armor since she'd not yet encountered one before. However the mention of getting scratched causes the dragon girl to puff up and look all imperious at such an unlikely thing happening.
Zacdailey realizes they are going to be very slow out here at this size
The wolf beast sits there idly, before being interupt with Zophah questions. "Err I have sine some research on the Packminds. They are extremely dangerous upon contact, is it right?"
As the helicopter is landing Zophah adds: "We need to recover Packminds for research, but due to how dangerous they are RSX has few opportunities. They need to be captured alive, and that's hard to do when even a slingle claw might cause you to lose your form, your mind, everyhting."
The heilcopter touches the ground, rotors slowing their spinning to a low murmur. The motor is quiet, as electric motors tend to be, but such large rotors can make all the noise on their own, warning of their presence over their heads. "Good luck out there. I'll head back and recharge. Put in a radiocall if you need evac one way or the other. I'll come back in 8 hours if no word comes before then, just in case."
Bilyso dooks, "how many packminds are we hoping to capture?"
Smolder goes all squinty-eyed when they arrive--she had been hoping the ride would be a little longer given her trouble walking post fennec-lovings but ends up sliding out of one of the doors to land on the ground with her feetpaws. The dragoness walks a little bow-leggedly for the effort, looking around suspiciously to see if anything was already coming to investigate the sounds of the heli landing.
Bilyso hops out of the copter and starts sniffing the air
Zophah double checks her bag for rope, netting, and tranquilizers. "We need four packminds, and no lost agents." She too looks around and sniffs the air to make sure the landing zone was clear before double checking on the group. "Everyone got enough gear to take them down?"
Bilyso double checks his supplies. "Yup yup!"
Zacdailey checks his supplies and responds i got what i need
The air is a curious mixture of dusty and fresh. The touch of man has pulled back from much of what was once America. The scales tip towards dusty as the heli lifts, blowing up the debris. The area appears to be grassy more than dirty, but the wind of the helicopter appears to have created a momentary disturbance. The sound of retreating wildlife can be heard, most having the sense to avoid being near this. No human, or mutant, scents touch the noses besides the agents, so far.
"Roger that". He nods at Zophah, while checking his gear up, before looking around the area.
Bilyso stretches after the long flight "So, which way do we want to go?"
Smolder appears content that the area isn't in any danger of being attacked though she puffs up at the mention of gear and goes to flap her wings to make sure they're still functioning, then goes to wait for the others to get ready.
Zophah quietly yips, "We need to find the pack first. Any trackers in the group? We need to make sure we get the jump on them before they find us."
Zacdailey says i can see pretty far from my height but im no good at tracking
Fluffess sniff around the area, indeed there is only the crew scent around, nothing more. And faraway, sounds of other mutants going to their hiding place could be heard. "Right, we are clear... for now" Fluff nods.
Bilyso dooks, "I'm also not too great at tracking, I tend to get a bit distracted."
A deafening bang comes from the south. A peek reveals a human, young, maybe 18? She's holding a shotgun firmly in her hands, already loading another shot to replace the one she used. "Stay right there," she barks out across the way. "Ya don't move!"
Smolder puffycheeks in frustration when her wings don't seem to work like they should be but ends up looking at Zophah with another squinty expression after they ask if anybody can track. She relies on being able to fly around and spot things so that's kind of out of the deal. Upon hearing the gunshot however the dragoness is quick to use the others for cover while looking for the source.
Zacdailey just stands there
Bilyso freezes and yells "We mean you no harm! Please lower your weapon!"
