First he tested his shield, expanding and collapsing it a few times to make sure all the parts moved smoothly. Once he was satisfied he switched to his sword and continued the process, as well as checking his sights and clips. He wanted to make sure they were ready for anything. Last thing they needed was a repeat of what happened right out of the gate last mission. After he completed his gear check, he joined in the others in anxious silence. His mind no longer distracted began making up scenarios in which things could go wrong. Luckily that wouldn’t last long as they were suddenly alerted to over sixty Nevermores approaching. Wow. Either they were giving off lots of negative emotions, or they picked a bad flight path. Either way, Trad stood up and immediately equipped his shield while changing Gram into its rifle mode. Sand momentarily split from the group, but came back just as quickly with some new hardware for her and Violet. Already thinking ahead of the fight. There was a reason Sand was put in as the team’s new leader. After they entered the elevator and Sand explained her plan, Robert requested that Trad kick things off with a “cool one liner”. [color=228b22]“Wait, when did I become the one liner guy?”[/color] Trad asked. [color=228b22]”Uhh, looks like we’re having chicken for our on flight meal… No that was terrible."[/color] Trad dismissed his attempt at wit and scratched the back of his neck trying to think of something else. [color=228b22]“Why don’t you come back to me in a few minutes and I’ll have something else.”[/color] [@Crimmy][@Lazo][@Abillioncats][@Guess Who]
