Cobran sat in the cockpit of the Space Cow, waiting for clearance to leave the landing pad. From the command tower came a small communique with two words, "All clear."
He smashed two buttons on the console in front of him then lifted off, pushing the throttle to the maximum setting, and a huge blast of concussive force, followed by a shudder, was felt as it acted against the normal forces of gravity.
"Space Cow to command, we have safely lifted off. I'll check back in 5 metric minutes with my status."
He leaned back and pulled out a beer, focusing on getting out of the atmosphere. |
