1/5 on the train

2 tons of ice and these sleds still shake like a cat in a cage. All the military funding T-Sec throws at the militia and we still get stuck on this ice-down piece of shit. It really is quite funny if you think about it. Mankind travels across the stars in massive ships, decked out with the latest technology on all fronts, then crashes on this giant snowball and starts all over.

This slal-sleds (slalom sleds) aren’t much more than giant ice cubes with thermal generators slapped on the back. They rely on the differences in temperature to force itself across the vast expenses.

The best part is, this being a military version, the generator burns hotter, getting us where we need to infil at bleakness speeds but melts the whole damn sled in the process. We ride in ice laden suicide ships. If we go off course, or slide into some bad intel that is it for us. T-Sec doesn’t waste its fancy repulsor ships on grunts like us, seeing as the only engines we have fell off of the horses we rode in on, we wouldn’t want to destroy what is essentially endangered technology would we?
