As was her usual daily attire... well, when she wasn't working out or sleeping... the martian version of a camo pattern BDUs and sidearm. She never went anywhere without her weapon... she was a soldier, afterall...<br/><br/>Her hand came up to cover a yawn and she settled onto a bench; doing some stretches before she pulled down her suit and with her usual detail oriented nature, began to check it from the soles of the boots to each metal ring that connected the various parts. She took her time; a few days in the field didn't allow much for little things like imperfections to stay little.
