[color=B8860B]"I think it'll work out alright. I mean what's the worst that will happen? No one else will be on our path atop the wall, it's not like there are [i]people[/i] on the other side to see us right?"[/color] came the voice of Martin, also working on his gear a table over from Fathi and situated right next to Evi. He paused his work as he looked up at Lukas, his brown eyes staring into Lukas as if they were staring deep into his soul, [color=B8860B]"I think we'll be fine."[/color] he shrugged before placing his focus back on the gear. Lukas simply watched him work for a moment, the sounds of his squad keeping their maneuver gear in good order the only noise within the room. The soft tinging of metal delicately making contact and the barely audible rhythmic clicking of Evi's wire being manually drawn into it's housing. It was oddly serene, his squad in now total silence just working, the sound of their efforts the only thing audible. Lukas peered down at his own gear in front of him, he had already prepped his fan section, and was working on the axles of the body now. Ensuring that his wire would move smoothly along their lines, that nothing would snag, that he wouldn't die performing a simple maneuver due to his lack of attention to his equipment. He grabbed a small cloth and wet it with some of the military supplied cleaner and protectant, gently spreading it across the right side of his gear right where the wire made a turn in order to be fired from his hip. The side seemed to be a bit more worn than his left side, it was no surprise to him, or anyone for that matter. Everyone in the squad had voiced their concerns that Lukas seemed to rely too heavily on his right side while using his gear in training, and he agreed. But there were some habits that were just a bit too hard to break. Though he'd work on it. [color=fff200]"So it's decided then, we do some training on our own while we're patrolling the wall."[/color] Lukas said as he fastened the screws on his gear to close the apparatus. He picked up the fan section and spun it around, ensuring he hadn't missed anything as he did. [color=DD582D]"I think it's another terrible idea thought up by you idiots."[/color] Evi said as she stood. The red-headed woman turned around in her spot before she began to fasten the belts spread across her body. Taking care at every fastener to be sure they were just as she was used to. [color=DD582D]"It's a shit idea and we're all going to die horribly if we do it."[/color] she said as she leaned down to check the fasteners on her legs. Martin stood up and smiled at Lukas, [color=B8860B]"What Evi means is that if we all die she'll hold us responsible, but she'll go through with it."[/color] he said as he scooped up Evi's assembled gear and began fastening it to the support on her lower back. Evi turned her head over her right shoulder and scowled in their general direction as she spoke [color=DD582D]"What Martin said."[/color]. [color=fff200]"With Evi's blessing it's decided for sure. Tonight we'll do a bit of unscheduled training on the Wall Maria side of Rose."[/color] Lukas said as he stood to begin fastening his harness. He peered out the window, Trost stretching before his eyes until it abruptly ended at the edge of the wall. From the look of the sky and the shadows that the buildings were casting on Trost it was obvious that night was fast approaching and if they weren't quick they were going to be late to shift change. [color=fff200]"Let's pick up the pace everyone, our shift is coming on quick, can't have Squad 9 late to duty."[/color] he said. With that the squad kicked their action into high gear, Evi was fully equipped in less than three minutes and had turned around to help Martin don his gear. Fathi had made his way over to Lukas and was helping to connect Lukas's gear to his harness as well. In just under ten minutes the squad was ready to go, donning their green cloaks with the Garrisons roses on its back, they exited the headquarters and entered the frigid air of Trost district.
