It's not everyday that you're sitting in the middle of a hangar while someone is spewing jargon at you more like he was showing off than really trying to help her understand. The one thing that she did catch, however, is that there was that she was going to have to jump out of a plane on her own, but there was an automatic parachute activation device that would more or less do all the work for her. Her skydiving 101 instructor did well enough to teach her any sort of form that was required, but the detail he stressed most was simply just to follow Hackett's lead.<br/><br/>While the instructor spoke, he and Ashleigh both worked together to get her suited up for the jump. The scientist did manage to get her one-piece military grade combat suit! Sort of. It was considered light, with necessary plates and sheets of protective what-have-you only wherever it was deemed necessary - the vitals, around joints, etc. The usual weight that a fully equipped paratrooper would have was supplemented by state of the art research tools. Or at least mobile ones. Despite how much this man was playing up how useful she will find everything, Ashleigh was fairly confident that she would enjoy finding a lab of some sort. This was Germany they were talking about after all.<br/><br/>Though it was strapped to her leg, neither of the two talked about it. A pistol of an incredibly modern looking make, its rubber grip something that Ashleigh had a hard time telling herself not to reach for it. There was a knife somewhere in her ensemble of black gear, but she'd spend the time to look for it when the time comes. All dressed up to go on a mission with plenty of danger, Ashleigh went on to huge plane in question to find Hackett standing about. Eager was another word that she could put under that woman's name.<br/><br/>"How do I look?" Ashleigh asked jokingly, placing her hands on her hips (though one held the helmet she would be wearing) in her best attempt to look tough. The girl's hair was put up in a loose bun at the back of her head and her Wayfarer sunglasses seemed to actually make her look like someone who jumped out of planes frequently. Just as she finished asking her question, however, she caught sight of Derrick again. Without posing the question again, the scientist did however pose a second time in his direction just to try and stir a response from him. They both looked incredibly comfortable in their massive amounts of gear, a stark contrast to Ashleigh who was comfortable enough, but carrying a mere fraction of the weight they were.
