All clear Petal
"Confirmed. All clear."
The system could be programmed to re-balance from telemetry, but she preferred not to over do it with too much "algo sugar", too much auto compensation and things could go south fast in a reflex situation.
She had Hades base in view. She notified the tower "On approach, stand by"
Petal began to angle the rotors to slow for a landing. She reduced the rotor speed to begin her descent... everything in order... as she checked her metrics again.
Just as she was preparing to land, Aithur established a HUD link. Petal looked a little apprehensive.
"Petal, we need you to divert to the Stratosbay at Point R, we have a science team inbound"
"Argh, ok, but you need to fix me up when I get back, got an itsy spin-sync issue developing in here", she replied.
"I can see from the telemetry" Aithur said "you can run an algo compensato..."
"Yes, yes, I know" she said, enabling the telecomp.
"We'll fix you up as soon as you get back" Aithur promised.
"Cells at 64%" She said out loud "Ahhh, it'll only drain a third ... dialing in coordinates, ok, locked in and on course"
She punched the throttle to full and pushed the nose down, accelerating rapidly in the direction of the port...
Some time later Petal arrived at Point R, a StratoRam was already disembarking as she approached and prepared to land.
Jenny Mae and her assistant were already on the landing pad by the time Petal had spun down. "Ok. You're my science team then." Petal stated "All set?"
"Thank you, yes" Jenny smiled.
"Lets get to it then" Petal pointed to the rear hatch. "You two are in there, strap yourselves in" she smiled.
