"This sandstorm is pretty nasty," Elise commented as she brought Thunderbird Two over the site where the trucks had wrecked.

"Yes, it looks that way," Dianne agreed. The physician glanced around at the other women on the rescue. "The fire resistant suits should do the trick and you'll need air tanks as well. Better start getting suited up."

The others began rising from their seats, making their way back to the supply room where the special use suits were stored, shedding hats and jackets on the way.

"Thunderbird Five from Thunderbird Two," Elise called into her communicator.

"Thunderbird Five here." Alan's voice rang out in Two's cockpit. "Go ahead, Frankie."

"Indy, I need a direction on these winds if you can get one," she told him. "I think that using Two as a wind break may make our jobs easier."

"I'll see what I can do," Alan replied.

As she waited, she checked her own instruments to determine if there was a prevalent direction from which the winds were blowing. Her frown caught Dianne's attention before the older woman could head out of the cockpit, and instead, she approached the pilot, hoping her own experience would be of help.

"The winds are pretty fierce at ground level, but not so bad up here," Elise explained as Dianne came up behind her. "Nothing Two can't handle at either level, but I am worried about Seven, being a hovercraft and all."

"I think that creating a trolley for Seven, one like the Mole has, might be helpful in cases like this," Dianne said with a rueful smile. "Seven used to have caterpillar tracks; we abandoned them for the greater versatility of the hover jets. But now... I can see where we could use both."

"Something more for Brains when we get back, huh?"

Dianne nodded. "Looks like it."

The radio crackled to life. "Thunderbird Two from Thunderbird Five."

"Go ahead, Thunderbird Five," Elise said.

"The prevailing winds are coming from the north northwest," Alan explained. "Though ground level readings can be deceiving."

"F-A-B, and thanks, Indy," Elise said. She glanced up at her own instruments. "That's what I was getting, but it's good to have independent confirmation."

"Not a problem, Frankie," Alan replied. "Good luck. Thunderbird Five, out."

Elise touched her communications panel, changing frequencies, and spoke into the microphone. Her voice resonated through out Two's chassis and the pod as she announced, "Attention, ladies. We're landing in two minutes. Better strap yourselves in; it's going to be a bumpy ride."




98% pure evil...and loving every minute of it.
