Supplies

"It's not a size six and the buttons won't close, but I guess I'll have to make do." Roeyka's uniform was more appropriate a stripper than a soldier, but it at least would help keep her warmer than her current outfit.

"I also got you a coat, its not like we are running on a surplus right now, especially not after that Casti blew through and took a bunch of shit, the Captain isn't too happy with Arc Hunters right now." Sgt. Cobb offered her the coat, it was the opposite of the uniform in that it was a bit too big, but it did have some nice pockets she could store things in.

"Casti?"

"Yeah some dick Richard, Rushdie? I can't remember for sure, took a young private with him and disappeared, he was supposed to be helping us establish a perimeter."

"Wouldn't have been Rushard was it?"

"What?"

"The casti's name Rushard?"

"Yeah that sounds about right, you know him?"

"Yeah I do."

"I get the impression its not an association you are fond to rekindle." Sgt. Cobb handed her a semi automatic rifle and some ammunition. Unlike the sniper he tried to give her before, Xanthiana took it and slung it front of herself. The erep camp while more secure thanks to her effort with the snipers, had already been attacked by the mutants twice since she'd been there, they were a long way out of being out of the woods.

"Oh I'd like to connect with Rushard plenty fine, as long as his head is in my cross hairs, what's the rifle for just being polite Cobb?"

"Got you another job from the captain, we have some of you ark hunters chasing down some transmitters up the road trying to establish a connection to the greater Paradise area, he wants you to check on a generator complex nearby and secure our power situation."

"Great some place dark and full of assholes."

"Didn't say it would be easy Roeyka, but it'll go a long way to making the Captain happy, besides rifle has a flashlight underneath the barrel, so you've got that going for you."

"Be still my beating heart Cobb, anything else?"

"Got a hat, might help keep the sun out of your eyes." He handed her over the ball cap. It was all black with the logo of a crudely drawn gold hell bug and Hellbugs written underneath it.

"I hope this isn't some foreshadowing of what I'll find in that bunker." Xanthiana put the hat on, it fit rather comfortably which was a relief, something she was wearing should fit the way it was supposed to. And it did help keep her hair out of her eyes.

"Well if you do find any of those little bastards let us know ok, we've seen signs, but nothing definitive if we're sitting on a whole nest of hellbugs this mission is going to get a whole shit ton worse than it already is."

"Ok sarge point me to where I've got to go." He showed her on a map and EGO noted it and the map itself, so she got a better idea of where she was in the paradise territory as far as the Ereps had maps for. Things were looking up, even if she did have to go off on another solo mission without much intel. In a way it reminded her of how things went during the war, and that thought sent a shiver down her back.
