Which is how Jonathan found himself unboxing a gleaming new high-tech drone one morning, fresh off a risky purchase with his dwindling savings. This had to work.

He decided today would be the perfect inaugural flight to test it out. Ominous gray thunder clouds were gathering over the bay, and weather reports warned of a powerful oncoming storm.
