Stone Soldiers 4: Shades of War
“The army was little more than four dozen shades, marching on the encampment of Northern re-enactors. Colonel Kenslir and his stone soldiers had taken to the air immediately and were over the site in less than fifteen minutes. Ambulances would take slightly longer to get there, as would the many soldiers from nearby Camp Merrill that had been assigned to assist with the mop up.
There was no time to slow for a normal air drop. Every second, the shades were killing or wounding civilians. Kensl...ir knew this was unavoidable- a precognitive's visions were never completely avoidable.
On his cue, the two helicopters flanking his own banked, peeling away from the formation. Almost immediately, the stone soldiers on board leapt out- two from each aircraft. Small drogue chutes deployed behind them, pulled by static lines that broke away from the helicopters after their job was completed. The 'chutes sudden breaking action decelerated the soldiers to more manageable speeds, then broke away, letting the men of stone drop the last twenty feet on their own.MoreLess
