Mission 2 Begins.

Staff:
Danh Loi, Demolitions and Security
Vigil Henderson, Martial Arts
Ricardo de Castillo, Martial Arts
John Christian, Security and Sensors
Wolfram von Steinheil, Archaeologist
Kaito Yoritomo, Gauss Specialist

The team assembled once more in the Gateroom. It had been some time since the last set of incursions while readings were analyzed and plans were put together. The mission briefing began, with the usual set of items laid out, with the usual speech from Chief Archaeologist Rupert Langdon.

"Just like the last gate, we don't have any means of telling where or even if this gate opens on the far side. Keep alert, and take readings. We'll be assigning a Gauss rifle to Mr. Yoritomo for this mission, and a demolitions pack to Mr. Loi. Mr. Henderson will be assigned the medikit. Before you step through the gate, take some time to set up your strategy. I'll be here to answer any questions."

[Bill Chompski]

Danh takes his gear, his demolitions kit, and suits up, checking everything, before going off to the side, waiting by a wall for everyone else to figure stuff out.
Ugh.
The man hopes that no headaches happen, both the literal and metaphorical kinds.

[milo christiansen]

Christian carefully checks his gear, just as he has done a million times before... Well, the gear is better this time.

[Prophet]

Wolfram puts on his equipment and goes over to stand near Danh. He gives the larger man a nod then waits for the others.

[JaxtalMK2]

Kaito would nod and start to carefully go over his gear, paying special attention to the gauss. One had to be sure their tools were in the best condition before stepping foot into danger. "We only have the one archaeologist this time, so I don't think we should split the team. As for general strategy, that will depend as well. However, presuming we'll arrive in some kind of structure, my advice would be Vigil and Ricardo act as forward scouts. As if we encounter those rushers again their martial arts abilities should allow them to hold off those creatures while the rest of us shoot."

He spoke calmly, eyes sharp and focused as he started to get into the mindset for the mission. "Wolfram, you should remain near the center of the group. You're most likely the one who will be finding us our way home, that makes you a VIP."

[milo christiansen]

"Well, I know my job." Turns to Wolfram "I have extensive experience protecting VIPs sir, I think we will probably be working together."

[Prophet]

Wolfram nods again. "Very well."

[Insanegame27]

"Hey Moneybags, any bets this time around?" Ricardo suits up.

[Bill Chompski]

Danh doesn't reply to Ricardo.

[vkiNm]

Once again, Carmine steps up to the designated position of the Alien machinery. He gave the team a nod as he said "Initiating gate sequences, now."

With that warning, he began to recite the alien commands that activated the gate last time. Before long all of the lights were lit, and a shimmering, suspended water-like portal bursts into life.

"Good luck and hope there's actually something behind this one, everyone!" Mr. Carmine gives the thumbs up.

[zomara0292]

"Wait! I just thought of something. Just in case worse comes to worse, can I have a Mateba Auto-revolver with 2 .44 mill reloads? If I have to shoot a gun, it will be easier to fire one I am already familiar with."

[milo christiansen]

Christian steps through, gun up and scanning, just like a good bodyguard should.

[Insanegame27]

Ricardo unholsters his glock, "It's no mateba, but it's got nearly three times the ammo in a single clip. There's two reloads of the mateba, chambered in trusty nine-mill. It's a Glock, so you just point and shoot, and it has an automatic feature too able to fire 1000rpm. I'm not joking. You want this one? You may have to watch for slide-bite, though."

[zomara0292]

"Sure. Though, you don't have to worry. I took the classes on the use of historic guns. Even had one once, before I had to sell it."

[Bill Chompski]

Danh raises his gun, and heads through the gate as well, ready for anything.
While he does this he cringes at the conversation between the other two men.
Why would you bring outdated firearms on a mission like this?
Why would you bring a bow and arrow on a mission like this?
Why would you bring a sword on a mission like this?

Danh silently wishes he brought alcohol.
