"Thunderbird Two from Mobile Control. I just received a download from Thunderbird Five about the storm." Scott's voice rang out.

Elise sat up, hoping for good news. "Receiving you Thunderbird One. Any changes?"

"No, still showing coming on strong. Can you still maintain current position?" Scott asked.

Elise scanned the control panel before replying, "At the moment, yes. But if this sand doesn't let up I'm going to be buried in it! I can't get airborne though until they've cleared the victims."

"Understood. I'll get any changes to you ASAP. Mobile Control out."

"F.A.B.," Elise answered. Gazing out the window she saw nothing but sand, lots of sand. It was then she started hearing the noise outside. It was almost like small hail hitting the fuselage. "Damn!" she muttered as she tried to peer closer through the window.

The strength of the wind hurling the sand around was actually causing the sand particles to have the effect of hail. Suddenly Virgil's words echoed in her head. "Remember, not a scratch!" She could still see him pointing at her as she stood against the painting, preparing to ride down to TB2. She'd scoffed at him humorously at the time but now she wasn't laughing.

Well there was nothing she could do about it, so she sighed and sat back. She hadn't heard from the team for a while and hoped they were doing okay. It seemed strange to have only the girls on this rescue, with the exception of Scott who, for all intent and purposes might as well not be here, as he was some way from the danger zone.

More sand rained down on Thunderbird Two. Maybe he won't notice. Her thoughts were picturing scenarios back at base. "Who am I kidding? He'll do more than notice! But it's not like it she actually feels anything; she's made of metal for crying out loud!"

The radio sparked to life, putting thoughts of Virgil immediately out of her mind.

"Thunderbird Two from Doc." It was Dianne.

"Thunderbird Two here, go ahead." Elise listened carefully as Dianne requested the power pry bar and Elise's hands to assist with the overturned truck. "F.A.B., Doc. On my way."

Elise signed off and exited the flight deck. Making her way out of the huge green giant, she grabbed the requested pry bar and was almost outside when she heard Dianne's voice again.

"Frankie, I need you to stop by Seven and grab an extra medikit to bring with you."

"F.A.B., will do."

Grabbing the pry bar, Elise made sure her heat resistant suit was on correctly, adjusted the helmet and proceeded out into the endless sands in front of her.
