Felix was well-ahead of most of the class, largely by running along the walls to evade the crowded halls altogether, being beaten only by Eileen (because she was faster) and Roxanne (because she could just swap to a frame that was already in the hangar). Once there, she fired-up 'Roche' via a powered umbillial to run it through a quick systems-diagnostic as she prepared modules for immediate use on a revolving loading-tray.
A remote sensor (I-REMBASS II) and ground survaillence radar package was selected, in addition to fuel, dual-flamethrowers, twice the normal alotment of grapples, and a the standard minigun seemed to be the way to go for this sort of mission, and had them equipped, uplinked, and verified as armed before suiting-up, she caught a glimpse of Jenny half-suited, and was herself thankful that part of her own everyday wear was technically her flight/pressure suit in the event of anything short of complete decompression of her power-armor.
Despite the turbine-powered Roche's small size, it could still move fast enough to keep pace with the larger mechas, with added agility of not needing to keep track of several dozen tons of inertia at all times. This kept her generally in the lead as she claimed a drop-pod for her team, and looked back to see Jenny following her, along with Ray in her Shaggoth, and a clunky tall arachnid-shaped mech taking up the rear piled-in to take up what little space remained as the hangar-crew sealed them in.
"First combat-drop?" She asked the stranger in the gold spider-legged mech... She didn't get an audiable answer, largely because it was drowned-out by the launch, the rapid decompression of air around them causing a high-pitched turbulence that hurt Felix's ears as their pod was jettisoned into space sooner than expected.
"Looks like we're the first wave." She commented, as they began to enter the Triad-5's atmosphere. The pod began to oscillate and spin slightly, until its drogue-chute deployed and quickly re-established a stable descent to terra. "You two stick with Ray as I scope things out." She keyed over the pod's intercom, as she kicked out the pod's blow-out door and jumped into the dark abyss that was the night sky, leaving just whistling silence in her place.
