Placing 6 spare magazines on his vest, he follows the dijin and the water elemental and heads into the simulation room proper. While waiting for the rest of his teammates, he does his best to get more familiar with the paint rifle. Practicing how to replace magazines, reliably un-jam the weapon if there were a situation that demanded it, and got used to its weight in his hands.

She dons the vest and fills the pouches with spare magazines as she took the paint rifle and retrieved information regarding weapon handling and such. A brief few seconds past and she too arrives the simulation room. It had yet to start, so Astra took advantage of the situation and prepped her system for combat.
