Kage Kyner used to work for the Caracal mining company, he really wasn't anyone special but he wasn't a normal miner he was the kind of worker that was more than mediocre at counting so he was quickly moved out of the mines and into the storage facility to work as a counter, or at least that's what the miners used to call it his job was essential, make sure that the iron, coal and essentially anything that came up from the mine matched with what the counter underneath the surface logged. It was hard work especially since the mine produced around 10,000 kg of materials per 24 hours, a servitor cant keep up with those numbers so they needed to use actual humans. The work didn't pay well but it gave him experience second to none.
"Alright Johnny" Kage said clasping his hands together in a theatrical manner. "Let's see here, I'm all packed while you still need to start packing. Would you like some help with your stuff or should I let you take care of it?" he said in a joking tone. He and Johnny have been working together since they were first slotted into a heavy weapons team. They worked through sweat, blood and more sweat to get the heavy weapons qualification. Johnny was always the better shot on training and Kage was always the person who could run the fastest with his backpack overloaded with weights, so it was quite obvious which one would get the gunner and respectively the ammo carrier.
Alongside the standard imperial guard equipment, Kage had been allotted with an ammo carrier kit, which included an extra-large backpack with a carrier plate that forfeits armour toughness which already isn't a lot by normal standards for the agility that is needed for someone with an extra 20kg on his back to move at the speed of a normal soldier or at least be able to keep up with the gunner, extra ammo for whatever heavy weapon the gunner is currently carrying and last but not least his trusty leg warmers used to keep his legs warm in not so favorable environments.
