As Python team entered the armoury, they were greeted enthusiastically by Viper. Smiles and greetings abounded from the GEAR pilots as they were introduced to their comrades in arms. 
Catriona, the towering and full-figured highland cow answered back first, as she went to the weapon racks and started picking out her own weapons, the rest of the pilots doing the same, and checking through them with efficient and practiced movements. 
"Thanks for the introduction, Corporal. An' looking forward to workin' with you all in the field too. Be good tae have some eyes down in the places we canna reach. An' dinnae hesitate ta call on us for your support neither."
The big woman opened the feed cover of the M99 she'd picked out and examined its' internals, leaving Case to pick up the thread of conversation as Maxine interjected. "Well, much the same with our little group too," the kangaroo replied to her with a grin as he picked an M280 off of the rack and pulled the bolt back, examining the chamber before releasing the bolt and starting to strip the PDW. "We're from all over the place, and just sort of... smooshed together," he said with a shrug as he gave a sideways look and a grin. 
Max walked in before the 'roo could say more, and the rest of the Python team looked over at his words. 
"Not scared us too much yet, sir". Alisha replied with a smile. "In fact, pretty welcoming, and good to get to know everyone a little more too, since we're all going to be working together". The porcupine had picked out an M280 as well, examining in much the same manner as Case was. The GEAR team gave a light round of chuckles at Max's good humour, before listening intently to his words regarding the employment of the GFDS and his insight on how to use the system effectively, looks of concentration settling on their faces. 
Silverwind had quietly slid in while Max was walking - much as the lion had done himself - and had let his 2IC give his expertise to the team. His words were sage and valuable advice, and he could use them as much as anyone. The silver fox had picked out his normal go-to for weapons; an M23 in battle-rifle form with a short-range scope, tactical light, and underslung shotgun along with an M61 revolver as a sidearm. The revolver had a holographic sight added to the top rail, and an underslung light/laser combo. A combat knife and a special operations machete rounded out his personal gear, along with some miscellaneous grenades and sundries. 
Spinning the M2 blade around the forefinger of his cybernetic hand as Max finished speaking, the fox turned around. 
"Wise words, Bastion, an' ones we all need to take note of. As good as our gear - pun not intended - is, and as much as it can do, we need to stay alert and rely on our own wits an' skills as much as always. Not that I need to remind any of y'all about that". He gave a small smile that turned up the corner of his muzzle and nodded to the group. "Well, looks like we all got our luggage sorted for this little trip. We got enough time to load everything up, and then get ourselves onboard too. Let's get movin' folks"
