The track was long it took Alexandrove about 40 minutes of sprinting to reach the crash site, the entire time the same haunting feeling kept creeping in his mind like he was being watched, as if there was always some part of the death and misery that followed him that was oddly nostalgic.
when he reached the fallen bird he took cover under it's canopy, the bird was half submerged the tail was gone but the cock pit as well as the main hual was some what intact, Alexandrove took a deep breath when he got inside as the adrenalin started to ware off it felt as if his lungs were being priced by a thousand small needles the exaction was getting to him, he set up a makeshift camp in an area of the bird that didn't seem to have any toxin and tried to get some shut eye after eating a can of what he hoped was some kind of bean soup with "beef".
("well this is familiar i actually started to forget the bloody trail that seems to follow hands, alternate world be dammed am still the same cold hearted cynic i always was, i don't miss the battle filed but there is a familiar peace to it...or i might just be getting numb to it.....i hope Magdalen is alright without me.....its only been three days...I think ")
five hours past as the darkness seemed to swallow the area, changing his mask filter with a spare he went to sleep, after he woke up he checked his equipment more thoroughly it seemed that the "Big boy" had a cracked barrel so it was all but useless Alexandrove filed stripped it for any useful components but there were none, after that he looked at the new rifle its length was a little bigger then a mosin at 1.260mm when it had a barrel, when the two metal brasses were folded in the "safe" position the rifles front assembly could be opened sideways to change the barrel, without it was 746mm in length.
connecting the cable to the cardinal the system analyzed it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
reading the system Alexandrove replaced the rifles worn out barrel with a new one from his hip pouch and started to explore the bird to see what he could find.
the wreckage was pretty big it was around 15meters long and 5,6meters in weith the main compartment was pretty empty say for the seats for personal and track were supply boxes could be secured, it was obvious that the gunships original purpose was to transport people, and it was retrofitted to carry toughs canisters.
moving to the cockpit, it was mostly intact as the only thing was that a tree branch had pierced the canopy and not so pleasantly skewered the pilots head that surprisingly was not wearing a helmet as it was removed and hanging to the side, getting closer Alexandrove saw a weird half crescent shaped device on the pilots head...or what was left of it, it wasn't big it was a thin metallic skeletal frame that had a small rectangular box on its back that had wires that connected to diode that were linked to what was once the pilots temples, with one thick and sturdy wire that when from the small box though the armor and into the pilots cardinal.
the armor looked different then the soldiers thinner made of many interlocking hexagonal plates with glowing lines interlocking and mixing under the plates into the mechanisms, intrigued Alexandrove removed the "circulate" looking device and carefully linked the cable with his own cardinal.

after some thought Alexandrove decided to take the risk, connecting the devise to his temples he felt a sharp sting forcing him to close his eyes for a few seconds and when he reopened them he found something both mesmerizing and terrifying, the information he had from the cardinal was displayed Infront of him as a ER interface and it was similar but different then when he saw the screen.

the words were flooting on the corners of his vision and he could interact with them by just thinking of what he wanted to do...but there was a timelag when it came to doing it nuraly so it was more of a utilaty then an advantage, Alexandrove checked on the system to see if anithing changed and it seemed the system had an extra function named.
("scrutinize...intresting")
Alexandrove looked at the main console and then activated scrutinize...

[Main arsenal bird console] [states: heavily damaged{unrecoverable}] [Notice: Data-card detected, posible sorece of further informasion]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
looking at the informasion Alexandrove understood as he went and found the Data-card in a slot at the underside of the panel, it was dizined to be easly recoverable as a sudo black-box incase of emergancys.
