((That would be free in cost. Hell. Your helmets have a sound enhancer built in.))
((It may have a tiny loudspeaker, which seems strange enough, but in any case a helmet definitively isn't shaped to project the sound - unless you mean to do it into the wearer's skull ;) . I'll take the megaphone.))

((..Ever heard of Resonance? Vibrate a material at the right frequency and it can make very loud and precise sounds without needing any form of shaping. It's what we use for most cutting edge modern speakers irl.))

Ratodx assumes a thinking position and asks two more questions of the Boss's boss. "To confirm, only Gate Team 47 and attached auxiliaries will be deployed for this mission, not including the pilot of the 'VTOL' and the 'VTOL's' protection team, correct? How much control will GT47 be allowed over the 'VTOL'?"

((Plan is being formed which should present a fairly solid chance of things being resolved without (much) blood. Thankfully Akras isn't a stickler about being 'secret' or anything like that. If we're able to have the VTOL do a patrol pattern around the village, it should improve chances of success by a significant margin.

@Helmet Speakers: Basically, GM says the helmets work as good quality audio projectors, apparently without causing damage to the speaker. Gift horse and mouths etc. The megaphone will have plenty of potential uses though.))

((Yes. Wearing a helmet while it resonates loud enough to be heard at a distance doesn't seem too pleasant or healthy, even if it effectively muffles the ears.))

Leaning over to Amadou, who is hopefully close to Danh, the weapons specialist whispers, "Hey, uh, boss. It's my professional opinion that a incendiary based weapon would be really...uh...good, for the squad. For future missions, too."

((Actually Resonance can be directed quite specifically irl. You can be standing directly next to an emitter and not hear a thing. Sounds counter intuitive but when ya look at the physics of sound [directional waves of kinetic energy], it makes perfect sense. Isn't science grand?))

"Only Gate Team 47 and attached Auxiliaries are being deployed. Control over the VTOL is as follows: Where to land. Where to be picked up. Use for transport in the event that the target Vampire resides a significant distance from the village. If you can convince the VTOL's CO to use his or her assets to aid in a task not listed then that is permissible. Their MO the preserving the VTOL followed by recovering your Squad as well as samples taken. In that order. The VTOL Is currently worth more than your squad."

"Thanks you. Will we be allowed to coordinate with the CO of the VTOL pre-mission, and if so, may we have the relevant information necessary to do so?"

"Yes, I agree, but they won't give us one and the team funds don't make up for half of it... unless... Look, I have four credits that I could pitch in, how much do you have?
If we put that together and I get the team to pitch in, we might just get one yet."

After hearing how much, Amadou addresses to the rest of the team: "Guys, I think we really should have a flame thrower. A fire-breathing weapon might be sufficient to convince the village that resistance is hopeless, and if vampires here are anything like in the Terran myths, then fire would be our best weapon along with the WP grenades.
Unfortunately it costs 25 credits and we only have ten in the team funds. I can lend four more, and Danh has another X, so we're still missing Y. Would you chip in to buy it for the squad, and I'll repay you as the funds get replenished?"

"You are allowed to, however you should have plenty of time during the flight to plan with the VTOL CO. Your Squad's CO will receive contact information for the VTOL CO upon completion of this briefing."

"Do keep in mind that 'Acquired' historical texts, seized notes on the arcane, and any other written form of data acquired from the Gaian natives are worth a Considerable amount to Akras. That said. You are to recruit or terminate the vampire by any means necessary. Including detonation of your White Phosphorous Grenades or application of fire."

"I have precisely nineteen of these 'credits' from the 25 I was granted from my... 'contract'" Reserti chips in, "I was planning to get some armor for my birds and myself, but that requires time to see how much they can actually carry."
