Ya know???? while we're here we could get measurements for your suit. All I nned to make the proper adjustments are limb, torso and head measuremens. but I really think you're going to have a hard time fitting all yer.... tools.:smiles: you really do have maybe too much for the suits. the armor I can make fit, the placements of yer weapons may not go well. I mean, some?? but definitely not all, sorry. but for the most part, we can get started, if you have time and aren;t working with Maggs?
 He looks inside his tool bag that is slung on his belt, and gets the proper tools out.

<<<Waits for Meari>>>

 Meari nods and says," Well with the suit I dont think I need all of the tools, a sidearm that fits, pulse rifle, shotgun and my bow?" Meari thinks about it and says," Well yes lets get me in one and then I can decide what 'tools' I can can carry, yes lets get started, well Sgt. Maggs is in command as far as I am concerned and I am a member of a Armor Squad with no Armor. Lets get me into one Slick shall we."

In reply to Slick (msg # 27):

----From Medlab-->

Hawkeye stalked in, equal parts ready to be impressed and equal parts expecting to see a disaster waiting to happen. "Alright Slick let's see these machines of yours. I assume it's the same that lamed your wing?" A hint of disapproval in her voice as she eyes the suits.

At the sound of Hawkeye's voice coming near him, Slick stood straight up from having been squatting looking at something in a crate, and turned. Hey Doc, thanks for coming, and yes..... it is one of them that got 'hold of mee wing. They're hydraulically assisted suits. The tubing..... whatever, I'll explain all that later, here look, He says as he gets his board and brings up the techno info for her. See? this is all hydraulic powered, I was grabbed by a newbie in a new suit. All truth be told, we're all newbies in 'em. I'm the only one that know and understands them right now on Hermes, because I designed the stuff. What I want to show you,   he turns it so they both can see the screen as he shifts to the proper pages. Is this sytem right here. now, I already told the Brass all this can do for medical purposes, and suggested slash requested, :he air quotes: Is the medical divisions input on what needs to be adjusted in the suits. Anyways, these things can adjust the pressure and tightness in a limb section to act like a splint. more pressure, means more stability, blah blah blah...... So..... I'm asking for clearance to suit up for the possible action Doc. I AM NOT going to sit this out for this stupid mistake that happened on my part. I didn't come back to Hermes with this stuff so I can "watch" He flashed an angry set of air quotes
 Raising his eyebrows and throwing his hands in a jerk motion in front of himself, he says. So I'm asking Hawk,and I mean no insult to you or your rank, but you know me, Allow me to suit up now, and write me up after if you want, or get me locked in Security right now. But I've made a couple of mistakes today with the new Armor and I have to be involved to remedy them with the guys and gals of this unit. So.. please allow this.
 He stands ready to get in the suit or be arrested.

 Meari set everything up for her armor that she could without donning it, and she looked forward too getting into it after this fight, but for now she will stay out of armor but will assist Slick into getting into his. When Stefi walked in she smiled and said," Welcome Lt. I think the Armor will keep is injures from getting worse I have read all the stats on the Armor Lt., also thank you again for your help on Uden." Meari would find out she was assigned to a shuttle.

<flexed>
During the wait time Jug would make sure all the Gava would check their armor and needed weapons out.  Each had a pulse weapon and a hard ammo weapon.  Extra grenades and such as well.

(ooc: forgot this step, correcting it)

 Meari will help Slick get into his armor and then head for the hanger deck for the speeches.

   With Meari's help, he gets into the suit, attaching the parts and pieces as if from muscle memory, although he had only donned one  a couple of times before, he knew perfectly well where all the attachments were located. Building the suits and wearing the pieces as they were being designed for fit and functionality.
  He looked towards Hawkeye a couple of times waiting, but as he started to get the rush of putting on the suit for the first time where he might see action in one, he was juiced up and ready to go.
 After all the components were on, he put his helmet on, turned on the screens and went through the setup from memory, Comms, Visuals, with his HUD setup for his personal taste, medical check, and then set a modified compression setting on his upper arm, sore and tender, but stable. He then turned and walked to the QM crate of weapons designed for the suits and picked a Large pulse rifle, and then places a spare power cell in an armored pocket on his thigh. he then had his field medic kit strapped to his lower back, in case someone else would need something he wanted it carried.

 He then throws a Crisp Salute to Hawkeye, and a thankful nod to Meari and links his suit to SGT Maggs, and says over the Comms. I'm suited up and here Sergeant, where do you want me? He sends a 'ping' to Maggs so he can 'see' his suit.

  Maggs   COMs  back, well all gather  near the Felrite  flight line, its close to the shuttles  with out being in the way? Once the Shuttles are Gone, Master Chief  will tell us were to set up..

In reply to Slick (msg # 32):

Hawkeye nods, "be careful. Following this I'd like to look into the medical aspects of the suits. And if it starts to give you any problems or you lose pressure I want you out of the fight unless things are dire. Last thing you need is a permanent loss of full function in your arm or hands" She smiles wryly at him recognizing much of the same stubborn streak she herself has been known to show.

"I'll see you at the after party for that drink." She says turning to head back to the medlab

---MEDLAB--->

In reply to Hawkeye Price (msg # 38):

 Just before putting the helmet on, he listens to the Doc's instructions, You got it Doc, and listen, anytime you want that drink, or any after, you just holler. :smiles: Thank Hawk, I really appreciate it, And I promise, any type of feeling loss or anything goes wrong with the suit, I'm out if possible.
 

  Copy that Sergeant will do.
  Again looking towards LT Price, Thanks.
  He strides towards the unit, nodding hellos and sending his suit ID for location to everyone on the team after they send there's to him. Running Comm checks and power cell checks for the weapon, he settles and waits like the rest.

Hanger deck>>>>>>>QM

  After he locates, either verbally, visually, or electronically, Slick has found that two of the unit have died, PFC Cinner, Spender and PFC Devolo, Marga. he gets the information to Sgt Maggs through comms. Hey maggs, uh,... we had two that didn't make . Sorry, PFC's Cinner and Devolo. dies fighting the bastards in the passageways, they were trying to head a group off from making into the adjacent compartments, they stopped 'em, but died doing so. I'll have them brought in so we can get them cleaned up and ready for a send off. Sorry Seargent that I didn't help to much, infantry stuff isn't me bailiwick. And too bad we didn't have more trained infantry want to try the suits. I'll see you in the locker in a few.

 he gets help making sure they are moved to the locker so the suits can be removed and the bodies taken care of properly before he gets out of his.

 After the removal of the suits from the two dead, he and the others removed their own, and after a brief check over of the systems and components for any damage, and after a couple of the people coming to him with damage reports or requests, he heads down to his bunk for a shower and a change of clothes.



>>>>>>NON-COMM

——> Med Tech

Upon entering the stores, Harry would make her over to whoever was manning the cage ”Excuse me, I don’t suppose there’s any chance of getting fitted up for a set of light boarding armour... and a tin of yellow spray paint” she politely asked, adding the paint as an after thought ”...if you guys are snowed under I can come back another time” she then said, not wishing to cause them any problems, after all she’d survived this long without any armour so if she had to go a little longer then so be it.

 Outside the cage  , Gai's armor  hung... the left   arm was split and shattered... the chest pirce   was ..elongated .. rather then somehting that would loonh like a chest plate. Her Flight   haled   was  spit in halps, fro  where the Visor started  to the middle of the back.

 a simple sign  hung under it.. "..She is still alive"

  The  Clerk at the  cage window   buzzed the door opened, and   waved her on  to the back.

  In the Back armorers  were working on repairs.. some of the ground troops  took a beating.  bits  and  pieces  were tossed  to recycle, others  were  set up  to get  bits and pieces  fixed and painted.

 ..Lets get you suited up.. I'm surprised  they didn't demand you tyo wear one before!

"What can I say...I'm stubborn and argumentative" Harry responded to the clerks comment with a shrug as she stepped into the cage and followed her into the back where a group of armourers hurried to try and complete their workload in time for the next jump off "So whats the deal with this stuff...is it one size fit's all or is it tailored?" she asks, with the closest she'd come to body armour being the flak vest she wore on Delta nights. Though from what she'd seen the boarding armour was a little more specialised than a couple of armoured plates in a Kevlar vest so would probably require some form of fitting work doing to it before she'd be able to wear it.

we have  the   base Templates   in differant sizes.. we get your measurements with the scanner  and then  Mold the plating.. takes  about an Hour  for a check plate,..the plates   are secured  to  a  'thicker' enviro-type material, that will regulate  heat, and  keep O2 in as long as  you have your Head  gear on.. almost all the pilots, where thier  Enviro  suit  under it as well.. it will keep you warm  if your  Life support fails..and   keep you dry if you have to POD out   dirtside..

  There is a Tall guy there holdign a Scanner  and  told her to  come over when she's  ready.

”Hmm not bad...if only it could stop a 37mm round” Harry said in a dry voice that probably explained why it had taken her so long to get a set for herself. Though from what the clerk had told her, having an additional O2 supply wouldn’t hurt.

Walking up to the guy with the scanner, she would follow his instructions as he took her measurements for the template. Once he was finished and was inputting the data she would look between him and the clerk before asking ”so...now what?”

  The woman  was just taking out a Heavy  chest plate from the Machine...Lots of ways  to die  in The Black.  Some, you can't do a damn thing about...so you try to eliminate all the other ones...

  The  guy with the scanner  was feeding her stats into the data base.A Mech can't stop a 37 MM round... and APVs?...so..nothing to  complain too much about.

”Trust me pal, if I get hit by a 37mm round and live to tell the tale I’ll be complaining plenty!” Harry responded to the man’s comment. She fully understood that the more methods of being killed she reduced or eliminated entirely, the the better her overall chances of surviving would be. But considering the vast number of extremely fatal possibilities, like her engines exploding, it all seemed so very futile and a suit of boarding armour wasn’t going to remove the feeling that she was on borrowed time.

It was as Harry was waiting to see if she was still needed or whether she could leave them to it that she would receive a message from Billie, who was starting to sound a little like a schoolgirl with her first crush. Smiling down at her comms unit she would quickly send a message back to her.

Comms message to Billie: "That's great! Has he asked you out yet? And more importantly have you snogged him yet? :D

After sending her message of to Billie, Harry would turn her attention back to the man that had scanned her "Do you guys need me for anything else? Or are we done here for the time being?" she asked, knowing that her time was in fairly short supply and that she still needed to get some rest at some point.

 The  Woman who was attaching the straps  to   the Heavy armor Chest Piece, said, Come Back  , any time, after  an hour, the  armor  will be  formed  and  cool by then, and  we'll have it   secured to the Envro liner

With her being given the all clear to go and leave them to it, Harry would nod her head in thanks to them before saying ”Ok in which case I’ll leave you guys to it and see you before jump off” she said before heading out the door, fully intending to either go back to her quarters and getting a little rest or sitting with Will assuming of course that the menagerie had moved on.

——> Hangar Dec

---> Hangar Dec

Sauntering up to the QM's cage Harry would find the clerk she'd spoken to previously before asking "So how are we getting on? Is my armour ready to be taken away and painted bright yellow?" she asked with a smile, fully intending to paint up the armoured plates bright yellow to match her flight helmet, with a little stencil work to add a little personality to it. If she was going to be made to wear armour then she was going to make sure people knew it was her wearing it.

It was as she was waiting for the clerk to check on her armour that she would notice that Billie had replied to her earlier message, with Harry rolling her eyes at the practically chaste response

Comms message to Billie: "What are you? A nun? Just snog him already! and there's nothing to say you can't ask him out if he won't. Also enough of this dying bollocks there's only enough room for one fatalist in this flight and I took that spot long before you arrived love. Trust me you'll be fine. I'll see you on the hangar dec.

After hitting send she would turn her attention back to the clerk to see if she had any news about her armour.

   Waving her in they  went back to the  armorer ,..Try it on so we  can get the straps right..I aasume you have an enviro suit  under... some folks wears  uniforms, but that  won't make  you any warmer or lighter?

 The   Guy  adjurtign the straps for  the chest plate  said,..there  may be a littel mor e room  in the chest then most?  but it  won't  effect you  fit too much...  he grinned,..you can  always  hide   some snakcs in there.
