Utem looked up when the plane took off, he chuckled seeing Ashleigh's reaction and shook his head, thinking she had enough without someone commenting on it so he remained silent. Once the craft was steady and leveled up he got up heading for the rack, just in time to see Ashleigh's helmet roll by.<br/><br/>He saw her get up and crawl after it, and since she was closer he decided against picking it up. Finally he couldn't hold a laugh at her comment about staring, he muffled it with a hand though. "This will be an interesting trip." he said as he removed the netting from the rack. He had glanced at her, not stared, but it wasn't something he would state outloud.<br/><br/>"Dixon, Ashleigh, Hackett." He called a he took the bags and tossed one at Derrick, handing one to Ashleigh and Hackett afterwards. "This is your food supply for the next week and a half, strap it to yourself or your bagpack, I think Hackett will now how it would be best for the jump. Sorry for dropping the rest, but it is too long, considering the situation we are to be facing." he said the last looking at Hackett.<br/><br/>"According to my debriefing, I'm charge of making sure we have three things during this mission." He said over the noise of the engines, holding out three fingers, he would lower them from right to left as he spoke. "One and two, food and water. Inside those bags there are packages with dehydrated nutrient bars or oversized candy bars as I call them. Each package contains too, one for the morning and one for the night. I assure you, they aren't tasty and they wont satisfy your hunger, but they will keep you alive and ready to fight. Over there in the rack, is a bag with water containers." he made a pause to take some air.<br/><br/>"They will barely last for two or three days, so we will have to gather it somehow, that's were the testing and cleansing equipment over there comes into play. We will also have to hunt and get more food somehow, if it is needed. Three," he continued, "Safe and dry shelter for resting. We have tools for making them, sturdy and lightweight, and a proximity detection system, controlled by satellite. One more thing I will carry most of that weight, about 50% or 60%. The rest will be divided amongst yourself, so try to fit it in your bags. Otherwise, I will have to carry a bit more." There was a bag there where he packed what he had to carry. He would place it to the front of his body, once they jumped, it would be troublesome if he had to use the reserve chute, but he had been trained to be able to manage.<br/><br/>"Now, I won't boss you around but I would appreciate if you head my recommendations." he asked standing up after finishing, looking around at the others to see if anyone had something to ask.
