IC-GOLD-Valkyrie(Capt. Jacqueline Jones/SSGT Derek Morrison)
Z-Day - 10:30 PM Mountain Time - Over Warren Air Force Base, west of Cheyenne, Wyoming
In the helicopter-
Captain Jacqueline Jones sat in the pilot's seat of her Huey Iroquois helicopter, flying her night patrol around the perimeter of Warren Air Force Base. The chopper was equipped with searchlights as well as FLIR for acquiring visual targets on the ground, as well as twin M-240 7.62mm NATO machine guns for eliminating them. Only one of those was manned, by Staff Sergeant Derek Morrison. The helicopter had just the two of them as its crew, in spite of the fact that it normally held four. This particular Huey was also configured as a transport rather than a gunship, which meant there was a lot of empty space on board.
A call came in over the radio. "This is Lieutenant Colonel Carmichael," said a man's voice, "in the operations room. There is a group of civilians on its way to the base, but they've run into some trouble and had an accident a short distance northwest of the Randall Road gates. They are being pursued by the infected. Your orders are to fly to their position and lend them what assistance you can. You are authorized to airlift them out and bring them to the quarantine clinic - there is space to land on the roof there. Over."
The gate in question was a brief flight to the northwest of the chopper's current position.

In the helicopter-
"Roger that, sir," replied Jacqueline Jones over the radio. "On our way. Over and out." She changed course to the northwest, the most direct route to Randall Road. The chopper's searchlight shined down on the darkness below. When she reached the gates, she caught sight of the people she had been sent to help. There was a woman wearing a helmet holding the hands of a big young man and a girl in her late teens about fifty yards from the gates, heading towards them. Behind them, a black SUV with tinted windows was trundling slowly down the road in the same direction. Strangely, she could see no sign of any of the infected. Even the FLIR didn't register any heat signatures other than the three running civilians and a bunch of people in the SUV. From whom could they be running?
Derek Morrison couldn't see squat in the darkness from the gunner's seat, in spite of the brightness of the searchlight.

"I'm getting a bad feeling about this," said Jacqueline. "I don't see any of the infected. Can we just lower them a rope or ladder and air-lift them individually? I'd rather not be on the ground in case there's a threat I can't see."

Derek frantically scans the ground for signs of infected or a safe way they could land to pick them up.

Jones looks for any sign of the infected but doesn't manage to see any in the darkness. "Is there any way we can get them up here without landing?" She will direct the spotlight around a possible landing field to at least ensure there's a small cleared radius.
Do they have a rope and harness or if the helicopter small enough that they can hover just off the ground and let people on board? If they landed but kept everything going, could they lift off quickly?

Re: IC-GOLD-Valkyrie(Capt. Jacqueline Jones/SSGT Derek Morrison)
Derek continues to scan but can't see any infected.
"I think we should pick an open space near them and land just long enough to get them on board", he yells up to Jones.

In the helicopter-
Jacqueline flew onwards and arrived over the gate, where she hovered while the survivors approached. The people on foot arrived outside the gates, followed by the SUV. The large young man grinned and waved at the chopper.

Re: IC-GOLD-Valkyrie(Capt. Jacqueline Jones/SSGT Derek Morrison)
What should have been a routine landing turns into so much more, as Jacqueline blanks out on all the training and experience she has accrued. She shouldn't have flown out of the base so fatigued...

Derek feels the helicopter jerk hard. He holds on to the machine gun. He does not have a good feeling about this....

Jacqueline Jones feels her heart sink as she realizes that she's not nearly as lucky as she once thought (so Maksim, so very Maksim).

Re: IC-GOLD-Valkyrie(Capt. Jacqueline Jones/SSGT Derek Morrison)
In the helicopter-
Jacqueline had been flying all day, and her exhaustion finally got the better of her. Some pilots took amphetamines to help them stay alert, though it was against regulations. She wasn't one of the ones who did. Maybe it would have actually helped her if she had. Then again, maybe not. It had been a simple enough mistake, misreading the altimeter and thinking the ground was a hundred feet lower than it was, but it was often simple mistakes that wrecked aircraft and killed pilots. When the Huey hit the ground, she instinctively wrenched the control stick, but she turned it the wrong way - to the left. The chopper went over on its side, the main rotor snapping off as it struck the ground. The bird crunched hard, slamming her into the hard-packed earth below and crushing her into a bloody, unrecognizable pulp.
Derek didn't fare so well, either. He got badly smashed in the crash, pinned by the wreckage of the machine gun. He blacked out, bleeding to death.

From the ether of unconsciousness Derek tries to send a message to the people to save him.

Derek could not feel nor sense anything as he lay bleeding to death.
