Airborn

It was an average night for cabin boy Matt Cruse on the airshihp "Arorua". He was in the crows nest looking at the stars when he caught a glimpse of somthing, it was a hot air baloon. He radio's the captian and they pull close and radio the baloon to see if anyone was onboard but no response.the try to extend the catwalk and it's 6 feet shy of the rail, so Matt gets on the end of the catwalk and uses the rope on his harness to swing to the rail and climb abord. He finds and unconsious pilot and random junk such as a compass and a rolled up map. Matt attachs a cable and and they are lifted up into the cargo bay. The man is taken to the doctor but later dies.
