Snippet #2320936

Chris wrapped up his briefing and Jason gave the old man a stiff salute before filing out of the office. He made a beeline for the armoury as he figured it would be best to get equipped first as any further briefings could be performed while the team was in transit.

The armoury was well appointed although Jason wouldn’t have expected anything less from Chris Redfield. The Armourer was a woman who’s uniform identified her as Downs. He nodded in her direction as he checked out her stock.

He didn’t know if it was seeing Redfield or him just getting old but he was feeling Nostalgic for the old days and that was expressed in his choice of Firearms. First he chose a Colt M1911, the BSAA model was highly customised with a laser sight and 14 round capacity. In BSAA circles the weapon was referred to as a Killer Seven apparently a name it picked up during a DSO operation decades ago.

Jason inspected the weapon and was impressed, it had been augmented far beyond normal BSAA specs.

“Like the Seven?” Downs called from the gun cage.

“It’s Amazing. The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. The slide's been reinforced and the interlock with the frame is tightened for added precision. The sight system is original, too. The thumb safety is extended to make it easier on the finger, a long-type trigger with non-slip grooves. A ring hammer... The base of the trigger guard's been filed down for a higher grip. Where'd you get something like this?”

“I made it, needs field testing but one day it’ll be the official sidearm of the BSAA.”

“Well that’s me sold.” Jason said as he placed the gun in his holster and grabbed a few magazines.

Next he picked up a FN FAL with a under barrel M302 grenade launcher. He checked the action and decided he liked the feel of the weapon.

“Like the old school stuff, huh?” Downs asked.

“Yeah the FAL is a good gun.”

“You now that was the setup favoured by Sherry Birkin.”

“No kidding.” Jason said as he inspected the weapon’s action. He wasn’t normally one to believe in signs from above but figured this was as close he would get to one. The load out Leena Muller’s mother had used. He nodded to himself and took the weapon.

Finally he got his webbing together along with some body armour, a survival knife and a first aid kit. While he wasn’t a doctor he could patch someone up long enough to get them to one.

“Thanks Downs.” He said as he left the armoury.

“Be sure to mention the Seven in your after action report!” She called after him.

His last stop was a large IT room where a skinny kid with think glasses handed him a PDA.

“It’s loaded with all the maps and data relevant to your mission. It also functions as your Comms.”

“Great. I assume it’s got a tracker too?”

“Yes we can activate it remotely if you get into any trouble.”

Jason nodded.

“Additional Intel has also been loaded.”

“Great.”

“That’s all I have for you Operative Greaves. Just try to bring it back one piece.”

Greaves shrugged and pocketed the PDA.

With his gear in order Greaves made his way to the plane. It looked like he was the first one there, he grabbed a seat and waited for the others to arrive.
