[@Hokum]

After several minutes, Meta finished up in the armory. His resulting loadout consisted of: -Several power packs for his rifle
              -Sniper attachment for his rifle
              -Fuel for both his flamethrower and jetpack
              -Additional wrist rockets
              -3 of each: impact grenades, nerve gas grenades, EMP grenades, 
              remote detonators, and sonic imploders
              -Additional stun/poison darts

Fortunately, most of these items did not limit his mobility by much, due to their miniature size. After assembling his gear and leaving the armory, he receives a message, once again from the DGS but on a different, far more advanced frequency. He listens to it but doesn't bother replying and continues on his way towards the bridge. As he arrives, he opens the secure channel to Palin and speaks:

[b]Meta:[/b] Palin, I need access to your teleporting capabilities.
