To be honest, Samantha was not really surprised that she and the British Guy were with the commander. There was some unspoken rule that always was in use if the commander was even relatively good. Keep rookies in the safest place or closest to person who can eventually correct their mistakes. It was.. A little annoying, that even here she was given such treatment. But it happened so many times to her, that the lithe woman only nodded and said nothing. At least they might get some action. At least they would see and hear the orders the commands at least she will get a better view at the commander and see if he would be okay. When you can not get what you want, you end up wanting what you can get after all. Though then again, Samantha would only be okay with this for the time being.<br/><br/>The fact that they would be in lead car was not bad at all. So maybe she was not written off as pretty face that by accident found herself here. Yes, Samantha knew she was being a little.. biased and that probably not everyone in the world was out to get her, but it was hard to believe when in majority of her career that was what she had met with.. Aside the few times when it was not so bad. Somehow, during the Hell Week no one really said anything at all. But then again, they were busy then. Damn busy. Those thoughts fled from her mind however as her commander resumed speaking. She continued writing few things, making a makeshift map of what the other spoke about, nodding, writing few her own thoughts about how far the target would be.<br/><br/>"Right." She grinned as the other spoke feeling a little.. Excited. There were no jabs at her, it was good so far. And she would happily take what she could. Of course part of her knew that everyone would think of her (and the British Guy) as rookies that probably could get the whole action killed.. But on that she could not blame them. Everyone was older and more experienced.. Aside the commander that is. Following everyone out, she then walked to the smaller group where the females were, assuming quite correctly that there were two changing rooms. As she was there, her eyes widened a little as she saw on her left a locker with her name. Excited, she walked over fast and opened it.. For a moment surprised when she saw the prepared things. It seemed like even though he met them only now, he knew they would be coming and had prepared their gear (not alone, but by giving orders). Her blue eyes trailed over the equipment even as she started to take off her uniform.<br/><br/>Samantha was.. A little happy that it fit. Oh, not perfectly, but almost, the size was right. It was almost mechanical, how she put everything on, on its place. They had even shoes which matched (now that a little creepy almost, but also good, nothing worse then bad shoes). Putting her uniform back in the locker, Samantha brushed her hair behind the ear, her face was mostly neutral, but there was a spark of excitement and seriousness in her eyes. Then she followed her seniors to the armoury.. And inwardly she cringed. Yes, she knew those were needed, she thought as she was given another, stronger, better bullet-proof vest, but it made her feel smaller then she was. Even all females were taller then her, or at least they did not have such small build like her. It was tad discouraging. Shaking her head a little, she put it on, feeling the weight of it - it was oddly reassuring and welcome, even though she did not like those. The tactical vest was also fitting quite well and it made her smile a little.<br/><br/>And then... Came moment to get weapons other then on her belt. She literally grinned when she spotted the weapon to her taste. The sniper rifle. And yes, it was not as fast as what most of people took, but... There was a certain.. Finesse in shooting once and getting the target then all around and not. That and it made her feel better. T-76 Longbow was her partner not once, nor twice and so far it was best for her. Still, it was tad sad that she could not spot a CZ 750 Sniper this time.. Maybe she would manage to get it bought some time later..?<br/><br/>Gripping it firmly after very quick check, she then walked after others, trying to find her team. The tactical gear made it little harder, but she found the British Guy who looked a little nervous... So she flashed him a smile and then looked for Koutai and Davidson.
