Mission: Peace, or Something Like It
Location: Shuttle Bay
Timeline: Before Civilian Lookout

ON:

Leroy ran to catch up with the two Marine snipers he would be sending with Delon. He didn't like the fact that someone would be ordering his men around, someone that wasn't Marine, but he would have to live with the fact. Rushing, he needed to make sure that everything would be tip top before he would send them down. "Corporal's!" he called, clipping his shoulder off one of the bay doors. "Front and center!" he called, now holding the injured limb. It wouldn't hurt for long, but it was enough to make him wince at the moment.

Jennifer twisted her head at the sound of someone calling Marine rank and smiled. The Exec was checking on them before they left, how un-fleet i was to do so. Marching forward, she dropped her bag, and saluted crisply. "Sir!" she snapped, the rifle swinging on her back. It was the same that she would be using in close quarters and for any distance shots that she needed.

Chi knowing who that voice belongs too did an about face. "Sir how can we help you I'm guessing you want to check the gear we are taking be for we go" she took the gun case she had strapped to her back so she could move faster and put it down and she opened it up. Inside was her TR-116A with both .30 and 10mm conversion kit so when she had to go from here stun round's to here titanium .30 caliber round's
So she could switch quickly between the too if need be. It also had with it a micro transporter and Chi was already wearing the exographic targeting sensor on here head. The weapon was almost in it normal state but Chi had the color dulled down and she put a bipod on it but those were the only thing different but also the weapon was so clean it almost looked new.

Looking at Chichire, Leroy cocked his head to the side. "Thats a simple distance weapon Corporal, where's your Close Quarters weapon? You can't just camp somewhere and go to sleep." Looking at Jennifer, he looked at the weapon as well. "Your's isn't much better Lance Corporal." Shaking his head, he sighed. "Fine, I want to know what else you're taking down there. From Personal shielding units to rations, you have about twenty minutes before the pilot takes off, so brief me on it all."


Sir this is not only a long rang weapon it also effective at med rang as well so I can use it to clear building with but just in case I'm bring a slug thrower it a SIS .45. In addition, the bag I am bringing has extra rounds, C4, shape charges, MREs, and water in case of an emergency ."

Leroy nodded and looked over at Jennifer, who was unloading an entire battlefield worth of explosives, cartridges, ammunition, water, and several personal shielding units. She even went as far as to slide one over to Chichire. "And you Lance Corporal?"

"I have seventeen pounds of Neussite 293, three personal shielding units, four hundred .30 rounds for the optional Gauss weapon add ons." SHifting it over she smiled. "Six extra power cartridges of power for the XR-263 Personal Phase weapon." Looking over it she frowned. "And six TKL's. All of which have been ok'd by the Master of Arms, I do believe that you signed the orders saying that anything we needed to complete the mission. Also I have two spring powered knives, and one boot strap knife."

Leroy was blown away that anyone would go through such exotic preparations for an away mission that was supposed to be non-violent unless someone ordered it different. "Alright Lance Corporal. Both of your gear checks out, except for one thing." Turning, Leo grabbed two small packages and smiled. "Personal camo suits, in case of anything that could be used to show where you are, who you are, or if you need to go ahead of Delon's team to start scouting the area. It holds a dark blue uniform that quickly goes over your standard combat uniform, a desert uniform and even a forest uniform should the need arise. Is there anything either of you need from me?

"No I'm good sir" said Chi

Leo nodded and smiled. "Then have fun, and be safe. I want a full debrief when you two make it home. We don't have the men to spare, so don't let them die down there. Dismissed." With a half salute, Leroy walked off to his own preparations. He had his own mission to go on, and he didn't want his men to die either.
