Dark*Matter: Discovery, The Delphi Paradox

"No problem," Z said with a smile, and started in on her laptop. "Meredith, Diego, how'd you like to work for the National Geographic?"

"Sure" Diego replied. "I've browsed a few issues back in the day ... for the articles, of course."

 

[Shayuri]

"Works for me. You any good with a camera, Diego?"

 

[kinem]

"I wouldn't mind using a camera, though I'm not familiar with any technical details about them" Diego replies.

 

[Shayuri]

Meri shrugs. "We'll make do. Probably won't come up. Anything else to go over before we head out?"

"I'm good to go," says Cade, however he does add. "Although I doubt we'll need it, I'd like to request a case to store my rifle. Would Ryker be able to handle it?"

oO Hopefully I won't need it Oo thinks Cade. oO But I'm tired of relying on only my sidearm, or lent weapons Oo

If nothing else is needed, Cade will stop by 'Z' on his way out and offer her his house key.

"Think you could check on Selina for me?" Cade asks 'Z'.

OOC: Thus Larry not only doomed himself and all of Team Libra, but also doomed all of mankind as well.

ooc: Pride cometh before the fall It's not his brains or good sense that's gotten him so far. It's his chutzpah

If nothing else is needed, Cade will stop by 'Z' on his way out and offer her his house key.

"Think you could check on Selina for me?" Cade asks 'Z'.

"It'll be my pleasure," she replied, grinning as she took the key. "I like cats."

Ryker was waiting in the armory, with a few carrying cases, and an electronic device.

"It's a sonic mapper," he explained, tossing the small device to Cade. "It'll plug right into your PDA. It works like side-can sonar, it uses sound-waves to provide a geographic map of an area. We use them for work in underground caves and tombs and the like. It'll take five minutes to map about ten miles of cavern. Processing power isn't so great, so don't expect fine details." He then indicated the carrying cases. "These have been made media safe. They use a special materiall to provide false readings to x-ray machines. You can get your stuff right through most security that doesn't require it a physical search, though it shouldn't be an issue on this mission, you'll be landing at a private airfield we control. They use thumb-print locks, so only you can open them."

"So, any idea if we'll be needing special ammo? Cause it would be a pity to bring the guns and then have to use burning chair legs again."

 

[Friadoc]

"It'll be my pleasure," she replied, grinning as she took the key. "I like cats."

"Thanks, Z" says Cade with a smile and a squeeze on the shoulder. "Help yourself while you're there, too." With a wink, he adds, as he leaves "I just picked up the latest console systems, figured they'd look nice on the plasma."

Ryker was waiting in the armory, with a few carrying cases, and an electronic device.

Snatching the device thrown to him, Cade quickly plugs it into his own PDA and runs several diagnostics on it. If there is a way to get more performance out of it, he'll try to have it done by the time they're wheels down in Greece.

"Thanks, Ryker," says Cade. "I take it the R&D folk got the latest design schematics on the PDAs?"

While Ryker describes the workings of the cases, Cade kneels down to his own kit bag and takes out his personal rifle - a Winchester Model 94. Similar to it's old west forbearer, Cade's model 94 is also a lever action rifle, but he has a sleek, deadly looking modern scope with some technical enhancements mounted on it.

"Although I'm sure this will be more of a brain than brawn op," says Cade. "I'd like a modest spread of special ammo for Libra's weapons."

With a roguish smile, Cade adds, "Like the Motto says, Be Prepared."

"I already got some ready," Ryker said, passing out some magazines if ammo to each of you.

(You each get one magazine of blessed ammo and one magazine of WP ammo for one of your guns. If we're all done at the Institute, shall we cut to the next scene?)
