Varn got out of his seat and followed Arthur and Dwan for a few minutes. He turned left when he saw a shop that sold specialized ammo. He turned on his arm communicator:
"Hey guys, who here needs incendiary ammo and for what gun?"-He turned to the shopkeep-"How much do these cost anyway?"
Iska heard the message from the ships radio.
She flicked her cigg over the edge of the platform and entered the ship to into the communicator.
"Pick case of firecore 50 caliber plasma round for Iska please, can never have too much" she said.
"Get me some incendiary ammo for my pistol and my LWA Hawk, based off of the designs of Sol Special-Forces Carbine so it can use the ammo for that, which is but not limited to kinetic, plasma and laser-rounds" Jeremy said into the communicator.
As Viper climb out of the gunship. The sudden change in gravity causes the Sanghvi to lose balance and stumbles around until regaining balance and takes a moment to adjust to changed temperature of this Ice world of Rigel. It's was fairly hard for a Sanghvi due to not being used to planets and the like. Even though it wasn't as cold as dark voids of space, it still was fairly werld and discomfiting to Viper. Either way, Viper took several steps in a attempt to get used to the environment only to fall face forward into the snow.

The implant start to light up it begin to relaying a message from the soft carbon know as Varn. Viper took several minutes to stand back up and reply back with a message.
"1000 cartridges of delayed Incendiary 6.8mm Flechettes please" Viper said into the Implant.
Leaving with Arthur (remembering the parking spot as he does that) and going out to find crossbows, Dwan followed Arthur around the markets until they find a suitable stall. Arthur spots some crossbows in the back. "Dwan, would you do me the honours of bartering with this man? A scientist like me hasn't a clue how to do so, while a bartender certainly would.", Arthur asked him.
"Alright, leave this to me.", Dwan says, as he walks up to the stall, Arthur close behind. Dwan slams his fist onto the stall to alert the stall owner of their presence. "Hello, my good sir, the two of us would like to buy 12 of your crossbows. How much would that be?", Dwan asked politely.
Lion opened up the intercom.
"Thirty minutes left before we should be at the rendevouz, don't delay for too long."

The salesman looked at him dumbfounded turning around to see the good conditioned crossbows. "Bah, umm 100, all go for sale" He scratched his head, drooling.
Varn bought several cases of ammo and a briefcase of incendiary grenades and loaded them up on a trolley and got back to the dropship.
"Ok, everyone gather around. The boxes are marked so you wont pick the wrong stuff by accident also feel free to grab a few grenades."
[QUOTE=doomevil;47443950]The salesman looked at him dumbfounded turning around to see the good conditioned crossbows. "Bah, umm 100, all go for sale" He scratched his head, drooling.[/QUOTE]
[By 100, do you mean that's how many he has or how much they go for?]
[how much you need to pay]
"Alright, we'll take 'em.", Dwan says, as he pulls out 1200 credits and pays for the 12 crossbows. "Thank you very much.", Dwan says to the salesman as he turns to Arthur.
"Here you are!", Dwan says to Arthur.
Lion started up the engines that responded with a loud roar. Several lights in the cockpit came online as the ship came alive once more.
"Alright, we gotta haul it in about five minutes. Get on the ship and strap in, if you don't strap in you might experience a severe case of G-force trauma to your... well, entire body." Said Lion over the intercom.
"Excellent! these shall go a long way towards winning this fight." Arthur said, as he and Dwan brought the crossbows back to the dropship. He began handing them out, along with belts for everyone to clip them on, and a vial of Wildfire for each of them.
"Alright! When we are on ground, I would recommend keeping your crossbow as a back up, in case you are cut off from the rest of the group, you are facing down a Screecher on your own, or when we find this queen. Before you fire, pop the vial and pour the wildfire on the tip of the arrow, so as to give the best result with regards to penetration. There are some spare vials, so anyone who feels they may need an extra dose, feel free to take another." Arthur told the entire group, before sitting down, looking at Yanim, and sighing with love.
"Alright team, let's get this show on the road." Said Lion as the ramp begun closing after everyone had strapped in.
"Systems are green across the board, Yanim, prepare the boosters."
The engines roared even louder now as the ship begun taking off, the landing gear slowly retracted into the small protective compartments underneath the ship.
"This is Roughrider to Trade 7, we're heading out. Landingpad 13 is now clear, over."
[quote]"Copy that Roughrider, you're clear for flight."[/quote]
"Throttling up," Yanim responded. The craft rumbled and gave a dull roar as it lifted off the pad.
[quote]The crowd of mercenaries filled up Outpost Sanctum as Helix Security appeared for good measure. You see Kercans roaring through, Mundies jumping for the hunt, and even some drunkards preparing to make their moves. It was phenomenal, a sight to behold. Perra got her 10 crew members and waited anxiously for the Leader of Helix to speak through.
"So, when those friends of yours will show up?" A Kherigan said to her.
"Hold up Bubal, chill out. They will show up, I doubt Arthur genius would waste his time answering us right?" Perra tapped Bubal on the shoulder, receiving a death glare at the Kherigan. Perra and Bubal hissed at each other. She watched one of her mates, getting some shotgun crates.
"Hey, have you already loaded those mounted guns yet?!" She yelled at him, receiving a negative answer.
"Well get to it then dumbass, the Inquisition is about to start! I'll set you up as first guy in the nests if you don't!" She threatened. [/quote]
[To clerify things, is Perra khergian or human?]
After Standing back up and getting used to the gravity, Viper was covered in a strange dirt like substance. Viper tried to wipe it off only to have it start falling from sky and being covered in it again and again, annoying Viper to no end. Eventually Viper climb back into the ship and crawled back to maintenance compartment.
Sledge had followed his manly new compatriot the barkeep and the talkative science guy into the weapon shop. These were the kinds of weapons the Sledge of the 14th century would have used, after all.
Sledge hasn't heard the mission briefing proper, and he wasn't about to ask. A real man ascertains his situation from his surroundings. Straight up animal instinct.
A large maul hung on the wall. On one end of the haft was a menacing iron spike. Sledge admired it.
Looking down at Smash Mouth's Greatest Hits, he remembered overhearing something about piercing damage. Little did they know that they were already completely covered.
Whipping out his hammer, Sledge manhandled the shaft, adjusting several yet unseen options and controls. Eventually, with a whirring sound not provided by Sledge, the hammerhead punched at one end, at first becoming flat before becoming pointed.
"There's your piercing damage!" bellowed Sledge to no one in particular. He gave The Fresh Pierce of Hell-Air a few practice swings and then chose to leave the shop entirely of his own accord and without having to beg for his hammer back which had definitely not been confiscated.

Lion flipped a few switches as the craft took off from the tradepost.
"Alright, hang on; Activating strato-boosters in five seconds." As Lion slowly moved a lever upwards the engines started roaring even more.
As the lever hit the maximum limit a light turned red.

With a loud crack the dropship accelerated to a incredible speed, breaking the soundbarrier.
The ship avoided the ice formations gracefully, using a varierty of maneuvers to avoid the sharp icey spikes.
A holographic map came alive in the rear compartment for everyone to look at. It showed the ship in a green color approaching a orange waypoint just beyond the canyons that they were now flying in.
After passing through a large hollow ice formation the ship once again entered what appeared to be another flat tundra area, only difference this time was the massive ice formation at the center with a even larger structure ontop of it.
Several machines in various sizes dotted the landscape, alongside a fair share of sinkholes.
"I got Sanctum on the scope. Arthur, you better call your friend and tell her that we're here. Ask what pad they're at while you're at it."
The ship begun approaching Sanctum.
[I'm having a hard time keeping up because I'm at work and posting from my phone]
After reclaiming his hammer, Sledge turns to see the ship's engines warming up. He only barely manages to slip in with the rest of the crew.
[It's okay man, no worries.]
"What's everyone doing with crossbows? Do we need them? Because I don't need one."
Sledge had not picked one up on his way to the ship. This was completely on purpose because man reasons. He didn't forget. Shut up.
"By the way, since we're not on stratos anymore you can unstrap yourselves if you want. I suggest making some final weapon checks now before it's too late."
Lion hit some buttons before continuing, causing the ramp to open up, revealing the tundra in all its glory below. The LMG hatch opened up and the gun was slowly lowered down into position in the rear.
"Varn, that's your cue."
Varn was looking at sledge the whole time while they were on stratos. He finally asked him
"Hey big guy, considering you obviously prefer melee, whats your plan when we start fighting the big acid spitting insects? Because I want to know."
[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;47444604]"Varn, that's your cue."[/QUOTE]
"Right, on it sir." Varn did a quick weapons check and got into position.
As ship went in overdrive, Viper was at first happy to have more heat until the poor Sanghvi rumble around within the tight compartment for while. As soon as the ship stopped moving, Viper quickly crawled out of the hatch and stood up. Viper made sure to the check the rife to see if it had been damaged, the bolt was jammed but was fixed after fiddling around it for bit. After that, Viper looked at the status of the crewmembers. Everyone seemed fine as far as Implant could read.
Dwan does as Lion suggested, checking his weaponry.
[QUOTE]Modified Bellevue Ancaria revolver? Fully loaded with 6 .357 Laser Magnum rounds.

With his combat goggles flipped down so that the flames from his backpack cannon don't damage his eyes, aswell as wearing quality armor, he's ready to kick some bug ass.
Iska picked up jorvu and pulled back the loading handle, which got stuck. "Patu voo" she said between her teeth. She then grabbed her weapon by the barrel and kicked the reciever, causing the gun to load. She then waddled over to the opened ramp where Varn was sitting with his gun. "Now Iska reminded of old times" shouted to Varn with excitement in her voice.
