"This is your captain speaking. The transport will land in approximately two minutes. Please fasten restraint belts."
The voice crackles over the intercom, and several of the agents quickly fasten their belts. The lady that was scared of take-off earlier is gripping the seat, her eyes closed.
I can feel the thrusters begin to lose power, and a slight thrum reverberates through the cabin as the landing gear is lowered. Out my window I can see the ground rapidly coming closer.
We touch down with a slight bump, and several people in the cabin let out sighs of relief. The small space quickly becomes even more crowded as all of the agents stand and prepare to unload off the transport.
The man with the red face, the one who talked to me earlier, comes up to me.
"You," he says, his voice showing his dislike, "will come with me."
I nod slightly and follow him out through the exit hatch. The others in the cabin part for us, and a few shoot me fearful glances.
As I clamber down the ladder descending out of the transport, I quickly take in my surroundings.
The sunlight feels strange on my face, as it is only the second time I've felt it in my life. The landscape surrounding the landing pad is bleak and lifeless, with several bunkers clustered at one end.
A concrete path leads from the pad to a looming castle about a mile away. The cold air gives images sharp clarity, and I can see the castle in extreme detail.
Jokull, I think. I had seen it on the maps, as well as learned about it several times. The base was supposed to be almost impenetrable, but I easily picked out several weaknesses in the fortifications.
I am torn out of my thoughts at the arrival of a small vehicle. The agent I followed out of the transport motions for me to get in, and I quickly slide onto one of the seats.
He follows, and soon we are swiftly driving down the concrete path towards the castle.
