The jet was rather smooth, too smooth in fact, especially for something she'd actually witnessed being built in the lab. For some reason, she'd expected it to be a jerkier ride, if she ever mentioned her reservations to Raun, the designer of the vehicle, he'd probably flip out, in the friendliest of manner and defensively say "What were you expecting, I'm an engineer, ffs," She grinned as the situation played in her head, Raun was an interesting guy, not that she could voice that here either, with his apparent arch-enemy sitting opposite her... For the most part, the rivalry between Z and Raun was rather amusing, a source of entertainment at the least.

A mechanical voice informed them that they were approaching LA. Even from that height, her window framed the stained land underneath them. She shook her head, it was unfortunate that they couldn't truly reverse the damage that was done here, because they couldn't bring back those that were lost, but at least they'd reinvent the area... as a symbol of hope. Buying off the destroyed land had been rather easy with her family's connections in real estate. Even though it came for cheap, her uncles were most distraught over her basically investing in a pile of ashes, little did they know what the company she now worked with, had in mind for it.

The girl went about gathering their supplies. Reluctantly, she holstered something that was apparently like a stun gun. It was decided that they needed to be able to defend themselves if someone came for them. Dianne had never shot anything before, but doing good came with its share of sacrifices. The mechs were ready, hoisting the machinery that would be required to reset the area. Chronos had already come so far... She hoped this would go smoothly.

Everyone had picked their own missions with the new tech that was designed, and each decided to go with someone who'd help them keep their head clear. It was natural for her to assume responsibility for her once hot-headed best friend. Him accompanying his girlfriend or sister would leave him distracted and probably extra vulnerable, although she was sure, if situation demanded, he'd defend her the same way he would the other two. She smiled, almost in a lamenting manner, Z had grown so much...

As the hover jet landed gently, she looked at her partner, mostly for assurance. "Ready?" Equipped with radiation sinks, and home-building devices, and of course, the mechs that would make the process far more efficient...

Z would give Raun one thing, he'd done a spectacular job on this jet, he'd never say that out loud to the man, but he would admit it to himself , the ride was shockingly smooth and easy going, and despite the nature of the craft, it was fairly comfortable. That was the most credit he would give Raun though, he wouldn't give him that satisfaction in person. The two had had a rocky relationship from the beginning, with neither man caring for the other, he tolerated Raun because everyone else liked him, but the two would get their digs in still at times.

He glanced up when he heard the voice, leaning to look out the window with a mournful expression as he took in the damage that was still so haunting and horrible. He didn't even want to put a number to the death toll in this place, there had been no warning, nothing to give anyone any time to evacuate. They'd all died either in the initial blast, or from the extreme radiation, and the thought turned his stomach inside out and put a rather sick look on his face,

He was glad to be on this mission with Dianne, though he worried for his loved ones on their missions, he didn't get nearly as much time to just spend with her anymore. Not that this was a fun or lighthearted trip, but it was still kind of exciting in its own right, they were rebuilding a city together, they were all making their first steps in the world, into fixing the world.

He was checking over his crossbow to make sure everything was perfectly tuned and tightened as he glanced up at her, "more than ready." He smiled, checking over the bolts for his bow with a sure expression, "we're going to make a difference today, or start to." He glanced up at her, reaching to put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "we're going to be fine, okay? You watch my back, I'll watch yours, nothing will get the drop on us." He sounded firm and sure in his words.

Tell me how you feel about me
Do you like or like, like me?
Tell me what you really feel
Do you like me? Just say you do

The boy had always been a reassuring presence. "I know you'll have my back, I'm a little worried about yours..." She joked with a nervous giggle. For the most part the girl was a pacifist, the thought of violence made her a little nauseous. While she believed Z wasn't some cruel villain, he certainly had lesser reservations about the use of hostile force.

As she zipped on her light wait anti-radiation suit, she beamed. "It's exciting isn't it?" she asked noticing the hopeful turn of his voice. It almost made her breathless, as she let the overwhelming feeling of impending satisfaction make her giddy. "Who would've thought we'd have a chance to make a real difference... In fact, who would've thought that the resources were sitting right in front of us all this time, we just never bothered to put the pieces together..." She mused.

Since the death of Gregory Forbes, their life hadn't been quite the same. She was proud of Jeff for appointing the plethora of resources for something noble. His altruism may have failed the legacy of the other Forbes, but he was going to be a much better man than any of them and now all of them had a chance to play a part.

Upon exiting the ship though, her excitement was considerably reduced. She was met with the a vast expanse of destruction, which seemed to be sucking the hope right out of her, along with the breath in her lungs. It wasn't enough to appreciate the stain on the land from a height... Actually witnessing the disaster zone, made it so much more real. Dianne gasped audibly. "This is truly... truly appalling." She shook her head and closed her eyes, to renew her sense of purpose.

Clearing her throat she added "All the more reason to fix it as soon as possible" They were in a large clearing already, probably near the centre of the explosion. There wasn't sight of any life, for quite some distance. As Dianne squinted towards the horizon a mech opened out a table in front of her, upon unfolding the table, the hard copy of their plans lay scatted across it. She scanned them earnestly. "Ok so we need bots there and there... we need the machines for the buildings set up there..." She said pointing to the directions and checking in with Z for confirmation.
