Well, that was fast; November forgot how short a time it took to scan in RFIDs.  And the subtle grenade hint was refreshing, even had her chuckling a bit as she popped the shaped grenade out and handed it over, carefully of course.<br/><br/>"Yes ma'am." she said, before going to empty out six of her clips in total "Didn't think I'd be holding onto that myself, just make sure I get one back at the end of this, okay?  Thanks for the compliment by the way; I've been keeping this gun clean for... lord, it's working it's way towards two decades now for my 4mm... if I need some maintenance, clips for land-side duty, or the equipment for the sim range, you will be the first woman I come to Chief."<br/><br/>Three clips, and the other two clip cases back in her bag (she liked to keep her 'old faithful' if you will, and she'd be using company ammo during missions anyway if need be), she paused in her packing at the queries of why she was armed to the teeth, and - perhaps more importantly - why she moved like a dancer...<br/><br/>"Well Chief, that would be the same kind of doctor that started out working a pole and whoring for a living, then traded it all in for state-of-the-art Imperial Battle Dress and orbital deployments in metal 'caskets', then traded<em>that</em>in for her angel wings and ended up going some places where you learn<em>real</em>fast that there's a reason some of them old-time religions had their angels carrying flaming swords." she said, locking eyes with the taller, younger woman and smirking "It's also the same doctor that knows that 'saving lives' sometimes requires the use of medication and first aid, but other times it requires the use of superior firepower and emptying your clip into the nearest soft targets... but I promise I use a...<em>gentle</em>touch with my allies, Chief."<br/><br/>A coy wink - the ship hadn't taken off yet anyway, so screw the finer parts of protocol - and she closed her gun case and armor case, turned back around and nodded at the map.<br/><br/>"Mind if I have one of those?  Would be good t' help me learn the ship fast." she said, nodding again to the map "And since I have some time, how about you tell me a bit about you?  I make it a point to be as friendly as possible to my future on-site requisitions officer..."<br/><br/>That, and she liked beautiful, mature women, but that might be a tad<em>too</em>unprofessional... at least at the moment.
