As with most things, there is a beginning

[runmakitarun]

Earlier today Makita spoke to the people on her team she could find, and left notes with Bar for those she couldn't. Today is the day. It's time to go back.

While she's spoken to her team about what to expect, at least to some degree, no one's gotten a full briefing yet. She's pushed some tables out of the way to form a sort of open space in one corner of the bar, and as people begin to arrive she's starting to unpack the five military-style duffel bags at her feet, laying the contents out on the tables nearby. Grenades, mines, boxes of ammo, and a few guns are slowly spread out like a deadly little buffet.

"Yeah?" She has his attention. Krauser's carrying his bow, his arrows, flash grenades, a strange-looking gun, a plain-looking box, and a knife. This is about as much as he usually packs. He's something of a minimalist.

There actually are a few concessions to the whole heading into Siberian climes thing, but not many; a giant friggin' parasite living in your chest cavity kind of keeps your body temperature from dropping all that much.

Not that it's fun when the bug starts shivering.

Makita leads the way over to one of the tables which is entirely taken up with a backpack and and attached gun of some sort. "This is a hailer. It's a protokol driven chaingun with a sustained rate of fire of approximately 10,000 round per minute." It's also about the same size as Makita herself. "I think it's at about 20% ammo supply, so you've only got about five minutes of sustained fire, but..." She shrugs, five minutes with a hailer can reduce a city block to rubble.

"The problem with it is that it's bulky. But you're big, and stronger than most people. I thought you could handle it. You know... if you want it.

"Pretty," says Krauser, meaning it, "but not usually my style." He prefers to move. "I can carry it back for you, in case we end up needing it." It's only fair, since he isn't even sure how Makita got it here.

Mel might just have been listening in.

"Want me to take it?"

What? She may be about a third of his size, but she's obviously the muscle.

Makita squints doubtfully. "If you want it..." She knows Mel's plenty strong, but... it's bulky and massive and not really what she usually thinks of as "Mel's style".

"We don't need it, I just thought Krauser might like it."

"OK," Mel says with a shrug, and looks to Krauser. She's better off being light anyway.

It would work as a piece of moveable cover for Mel! Maybe not camoflage, but cover.

"If we don't, we don't."

Sorceresses and guardsmen on one hand, and a collection of stabby types drawn from the end of the universe on the other.

Yeah. Heavy cannons are just going to slow them down.

Goldy gives the Hailer a longing look. It's like... the ultimate rail gun!

There's no way she can carry it, and she doubts she could wield it properly even if there was a tripod or other kind of barrel support involved. Nevertheless, she's still desirous of a weapon that can cause that much destruction, and she lets out a wistful sigh.
