The wait was probably the worse part, ever since she was told about the deployment in the near future, Arin had been both excited yet dreading this moment. Sure the opportunity to see some action was great, she truly looked forward to stepping foot on whatever battlefield needed her but... a few months ago she expected to be doing this as a human. Even while sitting there, strapped into her seat, she could feel Entrasi poking at the farthest reaches of her psyche, waiting for his next chance to overwhelm her. For the moment she had him locked away, but frankly Arin had no idea when he'll break free from this mental prison. She will need to remain vigilant, yet that was a lot easier said than done. 

Equipped in a set of stripped-down arctic gear, where she removed extra weight from her kit such as extra ammo or other superfluous items. It wasn't like she expected to be trekking across frozen wastelands for weeks at a time, so she reasoned it was probably safe to leave behind extra supplies in favor for traveling light. Then resting against her leg, barrel side down, was good old Doorknocker. Perhaps it had a somewhat cliche name, a very cliche name actually, yet she had become quite attached to the shotgun. Without a doubt she knew it would serve her faithfully in the coming months, she would never have it any different.

Arin was abruptly taken out of her daydreaming when their transport had finally touched down, and the ramp extended forth. Quickly she unstrapped herself, then with Doorknocker slung over her back was about to disembark. That was until another SOLDIER shouldered past her with a surprising sense of urgency. For a moment Arin found herself quite confused as to what was happening then she heard the unmistakable sound of the guy throwing up his insides. While she should have been concerned over his health, she was a lot more thankful that he managed to hold it while everyone was still packed within the Shyp. To be covered in vomit on her first day would not have been a good way to kick off the deployment

Frankly she was going to leave the man to his own devices until yet again another SOLDIER approached their sick comrade. At the sight of this Arin sighed to herself, perhaps it was a better idea to check up on the guy instead, maybe see if he needed to be carried to the infirmary. 

She walked towards the two then stopped while still a good few feet away. "[b]Is he looking alright? Doesn't need to see a medic or anything?[/b]" Arin asked both of them, but obviously meaning to address the much more composed looking SOLDIER.
