While Max organised Viper and got them kitted out for their ground op, Silver was checking through and signing off on the loadouts for Pythons' GEARs. The rest of the team were taking care of the rest of the logistics and gear, and heading to the armoury to requisition their own small-arms. DiMarco had her team working hard on finishing the overhauls on the team's Harguns that had been prompted by the results from the first operation and feedback from systems analysts and design team. The changes were minor, but Jesse DiMarco was nothing if not professional and thorough, and had stripped the machines down in anticipation of the mission in a hostile territory and without support. Giving them as much of a fighting chance as possible was the least she could do. All that Silverwind had floating through his mind, but the fox shook his head and turned his attention away from the spectacle and noise of the GEAR hangar. Sitting one a pile of tyres stacked alongside the bases' motor pool building, he swiped the pebble stored on the back of his cybernetic hand. Holographic screens sprang into life around him and he set to work reviewing and assigning the loadouts for the team.

It was a good spread, and it seemed clear that the Python pilots had taken to heart the lessons taught by their exercises and drawn on their own talents and experience to plan their loadouts and maximise on their differing abilities and expertise, and take to mind the prospective range of situations they might be facing, as well as the urban environment they'd be fighting through, as well as the need to support Viper and the resistance fighters as need be. He cleared the loadouts and confirmed the requests to have them uploaded to the GEARs, as well as signing off on other work orders for DiMarco's team and other admin tasks. Their loadouts confirmed, he turned his attention to his own GEAR. He was confident enough and experienced in his own abilities, and was capable with almost any of the Harguns' weaponry, but had his own favourite and familiar go-to's, and they'd round out the units' well enough. His decisions made, the fox nodded to himself with a murmur, and with his tongue sticking out of one corner of his muzzle, swiped and tapped at the holographic icons.

They'd have a pallet of additional containers dropped, which would be split-loaded once they were on the ground between the GEAR's external storage pods (which always reminded him of something like webbing pouches, when he thought about them) and a small two-wheeled trailer for the ground vehicle. That would carry reloads for other GEAR weapons. The resistance would also receive materiel and supplies from the drop, as well as sharing some of their own supplies and gear with the Ghosts once they had made it to a safe location. At least that meant that they wouldn't have to be lugging [i]everything[/i] on their GEARs or their backs. He checked the time on the holo displays. A short while left to go. More than enough time, though, to grab himself some chow, pack the last of his personal gear and effects, and snatch a short power-nap... and then sign out his personal weapons from the armoury. Feeling accomplished with the few minutes work, and with an itinerary to complete, the fox strode onward.
