261 The GCG finale - 5
"Well done my Rider and Hawk-Eye", Raymond beamed with pride.
The moment Spock3 heard the relay about the second snatch by Delphie, he got worried. He had put nearly drained out batteries in one of the walkie-talkies assigned for the team Delphie and was expecting it to die out within a couple of minutes. He thought that it would cause unnecessary delay and chaos for them. But somehow that didn\'t work out, and that worried him a lot.
That was because it meant only one thing.
It meant that now he had just one last opportunity to prevent them from winning the title. So he decided to use his jammer at the last final leg of the contest.
Excited with the second snatch, Mike and Simon started moving towards the third coordinate. They were treading through the dense forests without any care. Nearly thousands of bruises due to unruly branches or stems had already adorned their body, but that didn\'t stop them for a minute or decreased their pace.
Their third target was located far away from the second one, so they were trying hard to cover the distance as fast as possible. So that meant more bruises, more bug bites, more leeches.
But ignoring all that they both sprinted opposite to the confluence area and reached a place which was completely surrounded by a plethora of birch trees. The branches zig-zagged in between and Mike had to carefully navigate the drone to reach the top where the target was placed.
After reaching the point Mike contacted Raymond.
"Commander, Rider calling activate left turn, right turn, altitude, and video".
"Rider on standby".
Raymond quickly changed the configuration and relayed,
"Rider and Hawk-eye, system ready to go".
After getting that signal from Raymond, Mike immediately started flying his drone.
Simon sat on the ground calmly because this snatch was not an easy one like the two before and gave his full concentration to navigation.
"Left turn, 18 degrees. Great. Now ascend for one feet rider. Steady, steady, turn left just a nudge."
"Right there enter through that corner. Good going rider"
"Steady, ascend 2 feet".
While they were ascending up, Gamma Corp completed their second snatch as well while MetaFile team was still struggling with their first snatch.
"Rider careful, branch ahead".
"Sorry hawk-eye", Mike said as he got distracted with the results relay from the Spocks.
"It\'s ok Rider, move right 10 degrees and ascend again".
They carefully moved inside the zig-zag pattern. It was time taking but they knew that this would fetch them the maximum points.
Just when they were about to reach the close proximity of the target, Simon called up Raymond.
"Hawk-eye calling, disable right turn, enable snatch".
And Raymond did that in a jiffy.
"Rider snatch".
A smile spread of each of their faces as this was one of the difficult snatches that they had planted. They were riding high on adrenaline and satisfaction. But without delaying anything any further they moved towards the fourth target.
The fourth snatch was a comparatively easier one and they completed the snatch in just 9 minutes.
They were inching closer to their target.
Gamma Corp hadn\'t completed their third snatch and MetaFile was yet to open their account.
Their victory was sure-shot.
They just had to complete the fifth snatch. But this one wasn\'t easy.
They had placed the fifth target as a dead drop from a waterfall. Standing from atop of the waterfall, they had to manoeuvre their drone down. There was a risk of water destroying the drone, but this snatch was the max points snatch.
Mike and Simon moved forward towards the final snatch area, completely unaware of the fact that Spock3 was right behind them to foil their march towards success.
