Going around on my travels yet again from the reaver, and being too far from my squad to join in within 5 minutes, I decide to recall to Sanctuary and launch myself into battle like a beast from teh heavens, to smite down upon my foes with the wrath of a god i don't believe in (haven't quite figured out what New Conglomerates do believe in yet, I think it may be pork chops though) using the mighty HART.
A shuttle so powerful it can literally launch you from space in a cacoon-like object and thrust you into the planet like a bat out of hell, and still not mess up your hair when you land.

So there I was, waiting for the HART shuttle pod to refuel, taking its sweet time again (I think the servicemen are paid by the hour and fill it up with thimbles).
Finally, the countdown begins, 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...0... DOORS OPEN!! I RUN IN, STRAP MYSELF TO THE NEAREST CHAIR AND GIBBER LIKE A BABOON BEING ELECTROCUTED, WOO DEATH FROM ABOVE!!!!1

"This is your captain speaking, there seem to be a few technical delays, I appear to have spilled my drink down the stewardesses top, please wait just a moment while I, clean it off..."
Feck, dagnammit, I want death, I want destruction! I want the bloody lavatory! take off dammit!
Finally, the captain cleans off the bloody stewardess and the damn damn thing takes off.
Trundling along the sky like a Goose with no wings we arrive over the Continents, "ISHUNDAR!! YOU FOOOOOLS" I cry, "STFU NOOB" cry the stewardesses as they stuff a sock in my mouth and wrap duct tape around my head to hold it in.
After three hours of cottony goodness in my trap, they decided to take it out and inform me of our current position, "Right, we're over ishundar, choose a spot and get the feck off".

As the stewardesses pointed towards the big gaping hole in the bottom of the HART, I choose my carefully calculated position on the map with some crayola and a set-square. Only to be pushed out by the seemingly infuriated stewardesses.

As i shuttled to the ground the thought crossed my mind that I'd forgotten to switch off the lamp at home, and feed the cat again, Hum bugger. Hoping Tiddles hadn't noticed, my thoughts went back to the task on hand, Does this Rubiks cube ever finish?

Suddenly! with a hideous scream, the pod whistled down the stratosphere towards the ground, peeking out the window I spot a purple and green dot, another HART pod!! nudging the pod a bit to the left, and a bit to the right to no avail, I remember the retro rockets that can be used to shift across, so I fire them off !

Kablam! Landed right on top of the Vanu bugger, squashing his puny pod under the sheer magnificence of mine own, I jump out, guns a blazing taking him almost by surprise. Out comes a rifle, he shoots, I dodge behind the pod, duck out, take a potshot, duck back in, he comes around for the killing shot, but little did he know I ran around the other way and shot him in the bak, he turned, i shot again, his armour crumpled, he fell to the ground, I cheered wildly and wandered away from the carnage rather pleased with myself. To the pub!

apologies for the low resolution screenies, had to put it on low detail to reduce the lag
