Re: Sole Survivor
Leaving his Tantal, Dawid retrieved his PKM from the starboard companionway, making sure it was loaded and leaving one of the many RPK-74 SAW's from the Vasilek in its place.
He also grabbed 4 steel ammo cans containing spare 100-round belts and slung them around his shoulder by their canvas belts.
By way of explanation he offered, "I am an artillerist first, a machinegunner second, grenadier after! I should be of greater value with this if we meet those vicious pirates."
He checked to make sure his Stechkin was cocked and safed, stuffed the 6 spare magazines in the pockets of his NATO Kevlar vest, then he was ready to depart.
On shore, he slung the PKM over his shoulder, holding it braced at his hip. He took off his helmet and clipped it to the back of his webbing, putting on his green Polish army beret.
A crazy man came up, babbling in some unknown language. Dawid was familiar with Polish, English, and Russian, and he could recognise Ukrainian as well, although not enough to speak it. "Perhaps he is a holy man?"
Taking his left hand off the GPMG's fore-stock, he reached into his tunic and pulled out the ornate gold cross his mother gave him. Stepping forward to stand beside Jan, he said in Polish, "kind sir, we come in peace, in the name of God, Christ and the Holy Virgin Mother of Częstochowa."
He made sure the MG's barrel wasn't pointed directly at the filthy bugger.
PKM GPMG + 4 spare belts
Stechkin + 6 spare magazines
2 RGD-5 grenades, 2 Flares.
Edited to add more ammunition and to clarify his actions.
