Planet Zero.

Imagine, the pelting wind, on the windshield of your car, as it rocks gently, from side to side.

Speeding at 400 knots an hour (460+ mph), the woods beneath fly, as seventy thousand drones chase behind your ride.

You see, you're in the forbidden zone.

The car you're driving is a Magnum 317. Built of lightweight magnesium alloys, the underbelly of the vehicle slopes gently, whale-like beneath. With four wheels on each edge, and a thundering yet silent, flame shooting rear-end.

The wheels riding the wind, are spherical. Not tire-like, but round, globe-like. And dotted. And sketched over in honeycomb fashion, is a tight mesh-like covering on each dotted spherical wheel.

You're flying at 460+ miles an hour, leading the chase away to scene.

The dotted honeycomb spheres corner-edging your ride, are designed of electro-crystal-magnetaten. A powerful anti-gravity substance discovered by a man famed for being unknown.

The substance, when properly "honeycombed" builds a multi-polar energy, that when discharged at appropriate frequencies, gives lift to many times it's own weight.

The cone-like shaped rear, spits out jet-blue flames, that send the floating car hurtling through the wind, rocking gently against the buffeting crosswind currents.

In the distance, like the setting of the sun, the horizon glows a smoking red.

Three nautical miles later, the woods give way to the fiery scene of blazing greens. The woods. On fire.

You tap a screen on the dash of your car, and the drones activate. Already dispersing.

The army of drones, seventy thousand of them, dispersed, hunting for heat signatures of particular degree on the centigrade scale.

Each drone is equipped with four large tanks, many litres it's capacity, with it's firing turrets also AI driven, designed to eradicate the wildland's flames.

While within minutes the tanks are empty, satellite data drives the drones to rivers, lakes, and deep watering holes.

Where they refill, and join the ranks.

While the fire rages, the fight is on.
