She had acquired a rental luggage cart and had two bags and a long rifle case atop it, the latter with a variety of seals and stickers over the locks.  One of the duffle bags, a clanking one, was similarly decorated.  She had two thin, fabric-sheathed tubes tucked under her arm, resting them across her lap when she sat down.<br/><br/>She scanned the empty runways and dunes behind for a long moment, warily looking for anything out of place... she then gave the other people in the room a similar once-over.<br/><br/>"It would seem we all took a smilier job offer?" she asks pleasantly.  "Mechwarriors, pilots and technicians wanted for an open-ended contract that rewards initiative and boldness?"
