The Longfin Of The Lost Lagoon

An unexpected issue with his aircraft forces Cargo Pilot Kylo Ren to make an emergency landing on an uninhabited island in the middle of the ocean. He prefers not to call it a ‘crash’ but the un-flyable wreck on the beach suggests otherwise. He tries to send a message to his family but the on-board computer is bust. All he can do is hope that someone notices that he doesn’t make a check-in and then come to look for him.

But Kylo doesn’t know how long he’ll survive here. He has food that he was transporting on board the plane and it’s safe enough for him to use as shelter but food will run out eventually. He may go insane from the isolation before then.

But he’d be lying if he said that he weren’t enchanted by this island, with the lagoon in particular. He knows where he is geographically but he’s never heard of this island before; he’s sure that it wasn’t on any of the maps that he has previously studied. Part of the lagoon is hidden by a cave, giving Kylo extra shelter from the rainy nights. It’s strangely peaceful.

Kylo is completely unaware that this island is not completely uninhabited. A longfinned merman has lived in these waters since he was a small fry, having fled the terrors of his father’s clan in the sea. Here, he’s safe. His shining green tail gives him excellent camouflage beneath the lagoon’s emerald waters, meaning he can observe the human from afar.

Luckily for Kylo, the merman chooses not to eat him but instead, is curious about where he came from. He leaves some fish on one of the rocks inside the cave, the very same rock where Kylo comes to meditate every day.

Kylo gets the fright of his life when a red-haired merman pops out of the water to say hello to him. He calls himself ‘Hux’, a lone merman with no clan. He has so many questions for Kylo, wanting to know everything about him.

Not only is the lagoon enchanting, but Kylo quickly finds himself falling in love with this beautiful creature. At first, he merely appreciates having someone to talk to but the more time he spends on this lonely island, the more he finds himself craving every inch Hux is smart, quick-witted and oh-so beautiful.

Kylo has a realisation when he’s swimming beneath the calming waters inside the cave, holding onto Hux’s hands as they swirl in the sunbeams; he never wants to leave this place.

Can he really return to the sky when his love is in the sea?

On November 6th 1996 disaster struck near Sumburgh airport when a Chinook Helicopter crashed into the North sea.

Forty seven people were on board the helicopter which was on a 130-mile flight from the Brent field, north east of Shetland, to Sumburgh airport.

Two men were rescued soon after the crash by a Coastguard helicopter which had taken off on a routine flight minutes before the helicopter went down. They came across the accident when spotting an oil slick below.

The Captain Pushp Vaid was one of the two survivors. On 10 November the cockpit voice recorder, the cockpit section of the fuselage, the rotors and rotor heads, and the gearboxes and associated control systems had been recovered. 44 of the 45 bodies were recovered. The accident was caused by the failure of a modified bevel ring gear in the forward transmission which allowed the twin rotors to collide when synchronisation was lost.

Captain Vaid was back in the cockpit six months after the tragedy but for the rest of his flying days, he took November 6th off.

The Chinooks were withdrawn from operations in the North Sea after the accident and sold to Columbia Helicopters for heavy lift operations.

The Sumburgh tragedy is the 7th deadliest accident of the oil and gas industry and the deadliest civilian helicopter crash on record.

The third pic is a memorial and is dedicated to those who lost their lives in five aircraft accidents, related to the offshore oil industry, all of which were based or operated from Sumburgh Airport on Shetland.

Summary: You and Phasma get paired together to go out on a mission however you both end up stranded due to an error with the aircraft which you got injured by. Phasma finally confesses to you how she feels but is she too late?

Warnings: graphic injury, near death?, aircraft crash

Requests open

———————————

You made your way to Supreme Leader Snoke’s office and you weren’t impressed by the scene you entered in on. Snoke sat at his desk looking as annoyed as ever and in the chair opposite him was Phasma who had her back to you.

You really couldn’t be bothered to deal with them today and you had no idea why you had both been called to Snoke’s office. Were you in trouble? Does he know what happened between the two of you? Well you were about to find out.

You sat down next to Phasma in the chair next to her and waited for Snoke to say something. “So I’m sure you’re both wondering why I have called you in here today. We have had a new aircraft designed and I want the two of you to take it out on a test run” he said sternly as he grasped his hands together.

“Why us though?” You asked Snoke wondering why the two of you out of all people had to do this. “Because you y/n are my best mechanic which means that if anything were to go wrong I know you can fix it and Phasma I’m sending you because you are the best stormtrooper I have. I thought you both would be honoured that I had selected you both. Clearly I was wrong” he said leaning back into his chair, looking annoyed at the both of you.

“No! I am honoured, I really am. I guess I just wasn’t expecting to be called upon that’s all. We will head down to the aircraft now and set off. We will let you know how it runs when we arrive back at the flagship” you said quickly before standing up and leaving the room.

You couldn’t be bothered to wait for Phasma so you quickly stormed out of the room and headed down to the landing strip hoping to find the new aircraft. As you were walking down you decided to look to see if Phasma was behind you. She wasn’t. Would she even decide to come? You really couldn’t care to be honest.

As you finally arrived at the landing strip you could see the new aircraft standing to the side of the runway. It was beautiful. It was a small slick aircraft and you knew at first glance that it would have some power behind it. You walked up to the aircraft and just admired its beauty.

Ok first you needed to do safety checks. Once they were done you would be ready to set off. Hopefully Phasma has decided that she doesn’t want to come and won’t bother showing up. You made your way around the aircraft carrying out the usual safety checks you would do before every flight.

Once you knew everything was in order you got changed into your flight uniform. Once you knew you were ready you looked around for Phasma but still couldn’t see her around at all. Was she even going to show up? At this point you didn’t really care.

You opened up the door of the aircraft and waited for the stairs to come down. When they had finally descended you climbed up the steps and made your way to the cockpit. The controls looked the same as most of the other aircrafts so you knew that it would be fairly easy to fly. You then did your internal safety checks.

That didn’t take long and the only person you were waiting for now was Phasma. You got up from your seat and went to the door to exit the aircraft. As you were about to get down and look for Phasma you could finally see her walking towards the aircraft kitted out in her armour.

You were annoyed at yourself finding the scene unfolding in front of you hot as fuck. The last thing you wanted to think about was her but how could you when she looked like that. You decided you didn’t want to get caught staring so you made your way back to the cockpit and sat down in the pilot seat.

Phasma didn’t take long to board the aircraft and she was not impressed that you were sitting in ‘her’ seat. “Move” she growled at you. “Why? I am the one who knows more about aircrafts” you snapped back at Phasma as you looked at her clearly annoyed. “I don’t care! I am your superior so move!” She shouted at you.

You got up and moved into the co-pilot seat as you really couldn’t be dealing with Phasma and her foul mood. You knew that if you tried to intervene she would snap at you so you just sat back and let her do all the work. She started up the aircraft and made her way over to the runway.

Within a blink of an eye you were travelling at full speed and were taking off into the dark empty void in front of you. As Phasma flew the aircraft you both just ended up in silence. It was awkward and you could cut the tension with a knife. You didn’t really know what to say and even if you did say anything there was a good chance that she would snap at you anyway.

So you did the one thing you could do, absolutely nothing. She didn’t want your help so what was the point in trying to give it to her. So you sat back in your seat and enjoyed the view in front of you as Phasma flew around the void of space. You watched as you flew past planet after planet. You were getting bored though and was wondering when you would be heading back to the flagship.

Just as you were about to open your mouth to ask, the siren in the cockpit started blaring at you both. You both looked at one another in complete panic wondering what the hell was going on. “The aircraft is malfunctioning! I’ve lost control” Phasma shouted at you as you quickly sat up trying to help gain control over the aircraft again.

You started pressing a load of buttons that would normally help gain control of the aircraft but nothing was working. “Fuck sake! Did you not do safety checks before we left y/n?” Phasma screamed at you. “Why am I getting the blame! If you had come down with me at the same time you would have seen me carry safety checks inside and out. I am not incompetent! Why would I put us at risk to spite you!” you practically screamed back at Phasma.

She was taken aback by your sudden outburst but the only thing you could both think about at that moment was trying to safely land this aircraft. As the aircraft was hurtling through space you saw another planet coming into view. “There! We need to try and get into that planet's gravitational field. Hopefully we might be able to crash land there before getting help” you pointed out to Phasma.

“Try and help me guide the aircraft towards that planet” she said as she grabbed the control column. You did the same as you both tried your hardest to get the aircraft to go in the right direction. It was definitely tough but as you were both working together you finally managed to control the aircraft for a brief minute.

That didn’t last long however. Once you managed to get the aircraft on the right course you both lost complete control of the aircraft once again. The only thing you both could do now was let gravity take control of the aircraft and pray that you would both make it out alive. You were crash landing and there was always the possibility that one or both of you wouldn’t survive.

You both just looked at one another. You were panicking and Phasma wasn't showing any emotion. You couldn’t even tell if she was scared or not. “We are gonna be fine. I’ve crash landed loads of times and I’m still here” she said . You couldn’t tell if she was trying to comfort you or not.

Either way it wasn’t making you feel much better. The planet was starting to get closer and closer which meant gravity was finally taking over the aircraft. As the aircraft hurtled towards the unknown planet fire started to surround the nose of the ship confirming you were now entering the planet's atmosphere.

That’s when the sirens got louder telling you both to pull up. All you could was grip your chair for dear life and pray that you would both make it out alive. You didn’t want to die and you especially didn’t want to die with Phasma why you were both still angry at each other. It felt like you were waiting forever for the aircraft to hit the ground.

It was only about a minute before the aircraft finally collided with the ground. You gripped the chair for dear life praying for this all to be over. All you could do is close your eyes and wait. You felt the whole aircraft shake before then having pain hurtle through your body and then everything around you stopped.

You were in so much pain and you didn’t want to open your eyes. You didn’t want to think about whether Phasma was hurt and you definitely didn’t want to look to see what was causing you pain. You just felt this huge pressure against your body and pain. Lots of pain.

“Fuck! Y/n are you ok?” Phasma screamed at you. That’s what caused you to open your eyes immediately. You looked at Phasma who seemed to be fine. Her armour protected her from the worst of it. You watched as she unbuckled herself from her chair and made her way over to you.

She placed her hand on your cheek to comfort you which caused you to hiss in pain. You finally decided to look down to see the extent of the damage. One of your legs had snapped and was facing the wrong way completely and you were being crushed by a tree that had smashed into the front of the aircraft.

As you took a closer look you realised that one of the sharp branches has embedded itself in the top of your thigh. You were in shock. You looked at Phasma who didn’t know how to react. “Hey look at me, stay with me. It’s going to be alright. We are going to get out of here. Just stay with me” she begged as you watched her take off her helmet.

She was crying which caused you to start crying as well. You weren’t ready to die. Not yet. You still had so much to live for but with the extent of your injuries and the lack of communication you didn’t have any hope that you would be getting out alive.

All you could do is sit back in the chair and steady your breathing. Phasma quickly stood up and started to pace around the ship hoping she could find some way to communicate with her crew back on the flagship.

After rummaging around she finally found a radio which meant she would be able to communicate with someone to try and get you both help. “Mayday! Mayday! This is Captain Phasma! We have gone down! I repeat we have gone down! We need backup asap! Please y/n is in critical condition!” She shouted down the radio.

You managed to hear some muffled response but you were in too much pain to even focus on what Phasma and the other person were talking about. “Don’t worry y/n help is on the way. Just hold on it’s going to be alright” she said to you as she gripped your hand tightly trying her best to comfort you.

You looked down at your leg and there was blood everywhere. You then looked up at Phasma and gave her a worried look. “I don’t think I’m going to make it” you managed to whisper. “Don’t you dare say that y/n. You are going to make it. They won’t be long and we are both going to make it” she said to you confidently but you could tell she was just as worried.

“I’m losing too much blood. I will be amazed if I make it out of here alive. I just wanted to say I’m sorry for these last few weeks. The last thing I want to think about when I think of you is how angry I was at you. I loved every minute with you” you whimpered as you felt tears start streaming down your face.

You were feeling faint now and you had no idea how much longer it would be before you took your last breath. “I should be the one apologising to you! I used you and then pretended that you didn’t exist. The truth is y/n is that I love you! I’m not one that deals with big feelings and when they tend to pop up I ignore it. I thought if I ignored you then the feelings would go away but they didn’t. I felt things for you even before the training sessions and now I fear I’ve left it too late! Please don’t leave me y/n, I love you so much and I’m not ready to spend my life without you” Phasma cried out.

You wanted to respond but the whole world went black!

Crash and Burn

A Russian military transport plane with 15 people on board crashed on Tuesday while taking off from an air base in western Russia, the Defense Ministry said.

It said the Il-76 aircraft with eight crew and seven passengers crashed in the Ivanovo region. It didn’t say whether there were any survivors.

The Defense Ministry said in a statement that an engine fire during takeoff was the likely cause of the crash. It said a team of investigators flew to Ivanovo to conduct a probe.

Russian media broadcast a video showing the aircraft heading down with at least one of its engines ablaze.

The four-engine Il-76 is a heavy-lift transport plane that has been in service since the 1970s with the Soviet and then Russian air force.

Military experts have noted that as the number of Russian military flights increased sharply during the fighting in Ukraine, so has the number of crashes.

Gotta tear apart the long ranger heli again here soon. She's due for a new main rotor blade. They have time limit cycles on em due to the sheer amount of stress they go thru in flight, best to change em out before they get too stressed and possibly fail in flight. especially with the kind of flying they do in the mountains.

Balancing this massive ceiling fan blender is gonna be fun, even more fun flying around in it after putting it together again. Fun :]
