By the time they arrived at the island, the sky overhead was dark and cloudy, and rain lightly pattered against the Osprey's cockpit window. The island itself appeared absolutely huge from this close, cover in thick forest over much of its expanse. As the Osprey converted back to a VTOL aircraft and lowered itself towards the island, the pilot called out, "I see a clearing. I'm setting her down until the storm passes." Barnes replied, "Good job, pilot." He looked around, seeing that everyone else seemed quite relaxed considering their situation...
The Osprey somewhat shakily settled down in a large, now-wet clearing surrounded on all sides by trees, and Barnes unhooked himself from his seat, moving to the closed rear hatch and unrolling a long curtain of clear plastic from the ceiling. The curtain covered the rear hatch perfectly, made to keep the rain out. "Alright, open the hatch." As the hatch lowered with a muted hiss drowned out by the rain, which was growing heavier by the second, Barnes moved past the curtain and unfolded an M240 machine gun turret that had been sitting against what was now the loading ramp. He quickly ducked back inside and barked, "Masaki, man the gun! Keep an eye on the treeline if you can. We don't want to get ambushed."
