The helicopter ride was brief, but impressive enough.
They arced over the mountain ridge and approached the base. Kassian had originally arrived at Groznyj Grad at night, so he hadn't seen the full view of the sprawling base from the air.
Massive but plain concrete buildings were spaced by open areas filled with cargo containers and the occasional hangar. The Kamov banked gently, heading for the southwest quad, where a landing pad was outlined in yellow and ringed by spotlights.
Kassian caught a flash of red-accented black below. Ocelot, most likely, here to welcome them back personally.
At least their mission had been a success, and they'd even gone above and beyond by bringing the scientist back as well.
Ocelot should be pleased.
The Kamov touched down on the pad and the pilot began to power down the rotors.
Most of the Ocelots were grinning, in high spirits; they climbed out of the hatch and saluted the Major perfunctorily.
Kassian felt fairly pleased with the way things had worked out himself. He hopped out of the chopper after Isaev and joined the rest of the squad, wondering what Ocelot would make of their...trophy.
