The resurrection of Equus

Space Jump

After the team put on space suits, they climbed into an airlock and awaited the time for launch. Moments later, a timer flashed on and the doors flew open once it read zero. The four were propelled off the ship and they shot towards the planet. Due to toxins in the air from the calamities, Brandon had warned them not to take their helmets off before he sealed the airlock hatch.

"Expect atmospheric penetration in twenty seconds.", Link said over radio.

As they moved closer, gravity began pulling harder and harder on the jumpers. Soon, they broke through the atmosphere and dropped steadily towards the ground. When they were ready, they pulled their chutes. There was a thick cloud-like layer of fumes and smoke which lowered visibility and made it difficult to see. After landing safely and getting up, they began proceeding toward the coordinates where the device was sent.
