"...figured that would be your choice. Just make sure you get a few hours of real flight-time in before your next op - those winglets tend to do some funny things to your lift performance..."
MB stops for a moment to shift his monitor back.
"...and just keep me posted about the AH-45. As I said, long term project - no need to bull through it."
"Sounds good," you reply. "Any weapons on offer?"
"Ha. Not this time, kid. Those incendiaries I sourced last time are still around, but I got nothing new. Scouting out these upgrade kits was enough of a nightmare as-is."
He leans back on his chair and sighs.
"And speaking of nightmares, I caught a glimpse of the...person you recovered from the last op. What the hell were you thinking kid?"
"She was calling me for help. We couldn't leave her behind," you say somewhat defensively.
MB pauses. He reaches into his horrifically overfilled file cabinet and pulls out a jumble of coffee-stained item orders, placing them onto his desk one at a time.
"Four HEC suits with integrated ballistic plates and stand-alone filter packs. Eight ASh rifles, chambered for fifty-cal flatheads. Enough aerosolized nerve agent to depopulate a small midwestern town."
He continues. "Acquisitions muscled this over to me this morning; if half of it is actually necessary for containment, then you might be the person calling for help soon."
"Not if we're careful. I haven't even talked with her yet"
He sighs. "I know I can't change your mind, so please actually do be careful. I don't want to see you get bent into a pretzel by someone who looks like a cross between a tumor and a badly-trimmed hedge."
You can't help but smile a bit. "Thanks MB."
"Good Luck, Kid."
As you exit the maintenance bay, you consider your next destination.
