Marcus walked over to the helicopter which was already prepped by the crews. This was going to be a mission for him and his crew. Since the recruits from the adventurer's guild were still in their training, there was no reason to bring them along. Besides, this was only a transportation quest, so there was no need to complicate it with extra people.
The aircraft sat ready on the tarmac, dark and solid under the early light. The crew had already finished most of the checks. Panels were closed, fuel lines disconnected, equipment secured. The cargo had been loaded last, just as planned, locked in place inside the cabin.
Marcus slowed his pace as he approached, his eyes running over the helicopter out of habit. Nothing out of place. No loose fittings. No signs of rushed work.
"Status?" he asked.
"Fully fueled. Systems green. Cargo secured," one of the crew replied without hesitation.
Marcus gave a small nod.
"Good."
