Scene 12: Sanguine Moon
With his question having been answered by the mysterious Gibbus, Ethan changed the focus of his attention. He readied himself for the impending attack, whatever form it took, by checking on his equipment. He checked that his silver knife was in its sheath on his left hip, that his First Aid bag was filled and everything properly stowed in it. He had slept in the armored boots of his full environmental armor but had shucked the rest of the suit in favor of sleeping on only the moisture whisking under-suit. Now he strapped the segments of armor on to his body and made sure all the connections were secured tightly.
When all of his pre-combat checks were completed, he looked at his companions and gave a thumbs up, indicating that he was ready to move out. “Now we just need a plan,” he thought, waiting for the tactical leaders of the group to workout the details of their assault.
