Not a Hero
Unknown Location
Unmarked Eidolon-Class Stealth Transport
Joint Task Force.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Space was silent, dead silent.
Commander Valkren Calderon absolutely hated it; despite the few lights and gadgets within the cockpit of their transport created a few noises, their slow drift in space was accompanied by few sounds. He could feel the weight on his eyelids, the boredom that had begun to set in hours ago already as they waited.
"We'll keep an eye out up here, sir." The pilot, wearing all civilian clothing, spoke up after realizing that the commander was literally dozing off in a standing position behind the two pilot seats.
"Yeah- why don't you catch up with Baldy back there?" The co-pilot also spoke up, chuckling as he lifted a gloved hand above his head to flick several gadgets that Valkren had little knowledge about. Valkren nodded and turned to access the bay area of their transport. The commander, like the pilots, also sported somewhat civilian clothing in the form of a grey hardshell jacket and black cargos. Aside from the load-bearing system that rested over top of this clothing, the only significant detail would be his ball cap that was fit tightly backwards.
The door that sealed the cockpit from the bay sealed behind Valk, allowing him to traverse down the steep set of ladder-like stairs to find a seat directly across an old friend.
That friend happened to be [member="Beltran Rarr"].
Valkren groaned as he sat down, probably over-exaggerating the 'old man' noises as he got comfortable. Only a year or two above thirty, he really wasn't that old. However there was a good chance that the lifetime of fighting could start to get to his joints- but he wouldn't let that happen if it'd be the death of him.
"Almost brings you back to Alaris Prime, huh?" A smirk underneath his beard, Valkren would glance to his friend in hopes the usually-emotionless specialist would elicit some reaction from memory of their first meeting point.
"Kinda' a full circle moment, except this time we're starting on one of our dropships."
He knew Beltran didn't have the details of the mission yet, but those would come later.
