Michael said, trying to hide the distaste in his voice for such nonsense. He can probably put up with Victoria's somewhat aggressive hint of actually burning people alive, but not this Darcsen's lust for torturing. This was just beyond it for him, but then again, [i]enjoying[/i] this wasn't a sign of a normal human being. Either she's just a complete psychopath or something contextual was missing here. But either way, bringing only a machine gun to a trench raid? First of all, it's a stealth mission. Second of all, it's heavy. Michael handled some of them before, he was no slouch when it comes to heavy-lifting, despite the looks. Third of all, if you ran out of your clip, you are just one lame duck sitting there to be shot or slashed. But oh well, she knew her purpose there. Let's just [i]maybe[/i] hope that no one really crossed her path, one way or another.

But there are valid advices coming from all three, mostly to pack it light. That is indeed true. He would not certainly want his personal things be handed over to some Imperial troopers who probably would just toss them away once they fed him to the worms. At least maybe his side would have enough courtesy to send them back to his family. But it appeared that they were a lot [i]lighter[/i] than he was. 

[color=bf00ff][b]"You people have pistols? Man, it must be so cool."[/b][/color] Michael put away the hatchet, cleaned the carbine one last time before swinging it on his shoulders, then had his spade handle attached firmly onto the blade. [color=bf00ff][b]"I'd just [i]shove[/i] this down someone's throat instead."[/b][/color] He said with a straight face as he span the spade around effortlessly a couple of times. If anyone met his gazes in response, he'd simply lift his eyebrows suggestively. He had no bayonets, no pistols, no fancy tools. He had a carbine but it was merely for ranged fights. Otherwise it's simply shovel. A hatchet would be better for killing, but the spade for knocking someone cold. And besides, he made it out of the Amone tunnel with this spade, so he sort of considered this his lucky charm. 

[color=bf00ff][b]"Looks like nobody's worried about it to begin with."[/b][/color] Michael finally turned to Alex as he leaned himself on the table with the shovels still on him. [color=bf00ff][b]"It's funny that they expect a sapper and a sniper to do this work for them instea of...you know, dedicated shocktroopers."[/b][/color]

For him? He certainly had his worries and fear, but given the experience he had been through with Amone, he was confident enough to not show anything about it.
