Jennifer missed her MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor. At least she was able to keep her UGPS & TACPAD, over the years she customized and upgraded them to her liking. The Recon variant of the ODST battle armor was the closest equivalent to her MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor, she wanted to combine aspects of the Recon with the Close Quarters but she didn't have the time to adequately determine which pieces would best serve her so she went with the standard Recon painted flat black. She never could figure out why she had to pretend to be an ODST if they just gave her real information out.

When she stepped aboard the Pelican she stashed her standard loadout in a weapon box. She placed each weapon in there with precision and care, they were her best friends, her life depended on them, and she treated them with the reverence that they deserved. She strapped each one down so they would not be jostled during the flight. She took her seat and strapped herself in for the flight.

She didn't care what the mission was, she didn't care what the purpose of the mission was, she was a weapon to be pointed and unleashed. ONI had already filled her in on the specifics. She knew this mission may take awhile, and that it would most likely be suicidal to sleep on the planet after it was taken over by the Covenant so she slept as much as possible on the Pelican ride to The Long Way Home.
