"Right, sure, fine," Jade sighs rolling her eyes. She could probably make an improvised sling or belt later, for now she wanted to stop being in close proximity to these people as soon as possible.

"Sounds right to me. Makes me look like a gun crazed maniac,doesn't it?" he smirks, chuckling dryly at his own little joke.

"Alright...goo-" Lyra's face turns pink. "This is different...from when the girls help me get my stuff on..." She sighs softly. "I miss them.."

gasmaskThe man wraps a belt around Jade's waist, holding the PDW and biofoam dispenser holsters, along with the spare PDW magazines. He then clips the plasma cutter holster and survival kit to her lower back, at an easily accessible spot. He takes the PDW and holds it out to her. It's a normal looking pistol, similar to the auto rifle in the sense that its casing matches the CES. "Pretty sure you know guns, so I won't go into details. Standard issue sidearm, 9mm rounds, can be modified, not really for long range. Safety is here, ejector is here. Can be modified if you have the parts." He holds it out to her. Atomic MuffinThe Rakkarro giggles a bit... or at least does her race's equivalent of a giggle, which is more of a soft, fluctuating hiss. "Not really. You're a mercenary, after all. It's your job." She wraps a belt around his waist, which holds the PDW and grapple gun holster. She then walks around and starts putting the ammo bag and survival kit on his lower back. Kneeskeysllama"Oh, you have daughters?" The blonde woman asks, smiling as she puts gauntlets on Lyra's arms. The other woman walks over to the side and picks up a rather large device.

"You can say that..." Lyra smiles softly. "I originally made them to help me out in the lab and eventually patent them so that labs and facilities around the country could have them...but I grew attached to them and they started to think of me as their mother..."

He lifts his arms to make the work easier. With another wry chuckle he replies, "Let's hope I am as good at my job as I think I am."

Jade grips the gun loosely being sure to keep the barrel pointed away from everyone as she quickly ejects the clip and catching it with practiced ease and pulling back the slide to check the chamber for a round. Making sure to keep her fingers away from the trigger she flicks the safety on and off quickly getting a feel for the placement. After double checking the safety is still on she flicks the gun to a grip more ideal for pistol whipping and moves her forearm in a small circle getting a feel for its balance and weight before sliding the clip back home. "I'm use to something a little heavier, but the fact it's in good condition is a major plus. Do you have a cleaning kit for it?"

gasmask"We'll be cleaning your equipment every time you return from the planet. You hopefully won't be needing to use it that much, anyway." He holds out the plasma cutter. "Not sure if you've used one of these, but I'll go over it anyway. This is the safety, on the side, this is your fuel tank at the bottom here, and these clamps on the side extend for more precise cutting. This switch behind the forward strut turns it on, and activates the laser guide. Don't point it at anyone or anything important, and don't let the tip touch whatever you're cutting." He holds it out to her. Atomic Muffin"With any luck, you won't actually need to do anything..." the Rakkarro mutters. The young man walks over with the PDW and shows it to Ignacio in a fashion similar to how the other man showed Jade, then holds it out for him. Kneeskeysllama"Oh... so you work with AI programming and robotics? That's really int-" "Excuse me," the other woman says. She has a somewhat deep, serious voice. "I need to show her how to use this." "Oh... yes, of course." The blonde woman looks at Lyra and smiles. "I'll get your other equipment." She turns to the table and looks through a tablet. The serious woman steps in front of Lyra, that same stoic look on her face. "This is your mobile biolab," she says. The biolab has two handles attached to what looks like a foldable chassis, with a screen in between and above the handles, and a scanner camera on the other side. There are eight small transparent containers stacked below the screen and a small robotic arm folded down along them. "You control it with the stick on the left handle and the buttons on the right," she says, sounding stoic and uninterested. "Use them to both navigate through the lab's systems and control the arm." She hefts it. "It's pretty light, and it's collapsible." She pushed the two handles together, and the chassis folds, lining up nicely with the containers and making a briefcase-like shape. She holds it out to Lyra.

"With any luck..." he mutters as well, playing with the pistol before holstering it at his belt.

"Thank you very much." Lyra takes the gear then looks into the stoic woman's eyes and takes her hand. "You seemed bothered by what the other woman said about robotics...is it something you want to share or something you do not wish to." She brushes her thumb over her fingers, not taking her eyes off hers "If I upset you, I deeply apologize, please forgive me." She bows her head.

"Nope, never got to play with anything fancier than a corroded wrench and hacksaw until a couple years ago," Jade's mind immediately begins devising ways to use the tool in ways it was not meant to be used, "Probably make working with metal a whole hell of a lot easier."

gasmaskThe man nods. "That's exactly it's purpose. It'll cut through sheets of metal like paper. It can also be used to collect rock samples, and while it may not be optimized for mining like some variants, it can get the job done. You'll have some baggies in a small satchel for rock samples, if that's something you want to collect." He turns to the woman, who's holding a device similar in size with a trigger, nozzle and white canister in front of the trigger that has "Bio-foam" printed on it. It's not hard to guess what it is. Atomic MuffinThe Rakkarro picks up a gun-like device with a strange-looking hook on the muzzle. It has a spool of some sort of metal cord below the barrel. "Have you ever used one of these?" she asks. KneeskeysllamaThe woman looks down at her hand, then up at Lyra, looking at her like she's crazy. "Excuse me?"

"I've seen them before, yes. But I've never had the opportunity to use one. It looks pretty self-explanatory."

"I am apologizing to you because I upset you. Am I doing it wrong? Oh no! Did I offend you more?" Lyra loses her composure and starts shaking. "Oh god..I can't have somebody hate me, this wont look goo-" She falls to the floor, she's out.

Jade accepts the biofoam dispenser, "So can we skip the instructions and assume a doctor knows how to work a basic piece of medical equipment?" Jade tries to keep the edge out of her voice and her tail still.

gasmaskThe woman stares at her. "...Yeah," she turns away, rolling her eyes and walking off. The man seems completely unfazed, placing the survival kit on her belt. A sheathed knife is attached to the pack. "Right, that's about it, apart from the helmet. We'll wait for the others to finish." Atomic Muffin"Yes, it is. The hook will latch securely onto almost any surface. Don't shoot it at other people, the hook will do a lot of unpleasant damage. Firing trigger is here, hook release trigger is here, retracting switch is here. It'll support the weight of two people and their equipment. Three might strain the hook." She holds it out to him. KneeskeysllamaThe woman interrupts her before she even starts shaking. "The hell are you even talking about?" she says, sounding a little annoyed. "You didn't offend me. I just wanted to show you how to use this without taking too damn long." The blonde woman looks at her, cocking her head. She's holding some sort of camera on a collapsed tripod.

"Fine by me," Jade snorts and takes several steps away from her 'helpers' before stopping and taking several deep breaths.

"o-oh..." Lyra goes quiet and stops talking, she seems rather sad now. "I-I'm sorry for taking so much of your time.."

Ignacio accepts the grappling gun and attaches it to his belt. "Excellent. I will definitely have fun with this."

Atomic MuffinThe man attaches the ammo bag and survival kit to the back of his belt. "That looks like everything, apart from the helmet." KneeskeysllamaThe brown-haired woman sighs. "It's fine, don't worry about it." She turns away, and the blonde woman steps forward, smiling. "This is your deployable scanner." She shows her how to set it up and how to use it. "It's connected to your PDA, like your biolab is, so you can keep all your information stored." gasmask

Atomic MuffinThe Rakkarro walks over, smiling, taking his hand and shaking it. Her scales are smooth and her hand is room temperature, colder than a mammal's. "You're welcome." KneeskeysllamaThe woman nods. "Go ahead, try deploying it. It will scan the whole area."
