As much as you want to accept this gift out of hand, you need to consider things. People have been kidnapped. You have a job. Yes by being part of the expedition she holds a similar rank or above to any L4 Operator in the Stormwatch, but you have responsibilities. For example, "Are you sure you don't need this yourself? We have weapons here, and, I don't know who might not like you, but-"

"Bah, it is fine, fine! I have a pistol for such man-sized occasions." She leans in and with a devilish grin, whispers to you in your native tongue, "Actually two. But those are mine!"

For this equipment vote, you have three polls, where you must place two votes in the worn equipment poll, three votes on the weapons poll, and two votes on the consumables poll, for separate items each. The first vote you cast for each poll will be listed as your primary vote, and the subsequent votes will be tallied as a regular vote. In case of a tie, whichever option had more primary votes wins. "No Sidearm" is an option included to allow voters to leave a single weapon slot empty for the sake of speed. Notably, not having a sidearm increases movement speed and helps with positioning, especially through heavy water.
Please refer to the equipment list in the Google Doc to see the properties of each weapon and rules involving equipment:

Brushing your hair out of its sticky helmet-hair squished form, words bubble to the surface of your mind but pop before you can catch any of them like the froth of a babbling brook. I thought you died, or nice of you to join the land of the living, or some other cheesy one-line quip just doesn't feel right, nothing works in your head.

A painful pause fills the air for the time between the seconds. In that long moment, you laugh, from the awkwardness, from how she failed to recognize you, and, honestly, from a little bit of pride. Erika came ready to tear an Old Oak to bits with a greatsword and all of her friends and arrived in time see one of them cleanly cut off his head - and it was you, of all people! One hell of a first impression, huh? Set the expectations perhaps a bit high...

You have no idea how to go forward with this. But just like the foam of that babbling brook that melts away when you cup it in your hands, the best way you can enjoy it is to simply throw yourself in.

With a grunt of your chest from your fading rush of adrenaline masking some manner of crick in your back, your dragging feet splash through the shallow storm drain stream.

Erika smiles and turns her head. "Yorrick, take care of the details of the situation, I need a mome-" Your hug cuts her off.

A large and well built man, who can be described as nothing less than "techno viking," nodded and began speaking on your direct line to Operator Hotakainen, which you deafen. After a bit, he begins talking to the gathering Stormwatch crew. All this while, you're in the arms of someone you thought was dead for years.

After a warm moment in this cold place, Erika steps back and speaks to you in perfect German. "What are you doing here, stupid head!? How did you let yourself get roped into all this? I know I got involved with Old Oaks when I was around your age, that's fine, but this is just-how did you get chosen to fight one? Was this Leshy's idea, that old coot? When I give my report I'm going to drop some termites and-" She stops her tirade. "I'm just glad you're alright. Are you alright?"

Her bombardment of concern is overwhelming, but now finding your tongue is much easier. "Mama, it's fine, it's fine! I got hit a couple times, but-agh, nothing a nap won't fix, I think."
"That armor is pretty impressive," she comments, looking over the marring to notice that it was never broken. "How long have you been doing this? Two years?"

"A little over six months," you answer.

Erika recoils, in shock more than pride or concern. "Six months!? How did you get that much-what have you been up to that they land you stuff like this at six months!?"

"I, uh, with my coworkers, found a misplaced drone, a weapon's manufacturing ring, a tunnel through the outer wall... ah and ah, helped Ms. Jousten test some new tech from time to time."

"That would do-" Erika does a double take. "Jousten?"

"ERIKA!"

With a whistle, he calls the researcher to bring Kai back up here with you. He still looks somewhat rattled, but is calm and contained. For now. He remains silent, staring at Leshy's tree.

"What was my mom like? I can't remember her very well," you ask, curiosity fed by a worrying possibility, that she might have had to...

Leshy hums in fond recollection, scouring his memories for a good starting point. Where to begin? "Erika is a woman who does not judge. Anything peculiar about creatures, people, or missions, she does not react adversely to. She always accepts what is before her. This quality was what made her an ideal candidate for the exploration voyage. We didn't want someone who would be resentful, incredulous, or dismissive to the strange nature of other peoples or whatever else is uncovered." With a pleasant exhale, you can imagine a smile on his face. "Even for all my odd quirks and behavior, she was quite natural when we spoke in person. She listened, and heard. And it was a pleasure to have her."

So they spoke face to face? How did she earn all that trust? "How did you find out about her?"

"She travelled up north to the Lapplands to help with the migratory swans some decades ago," he answered. "Those birds have an... unsettling appearance, and many who are assigned don't have a good time keeping it together. Missus Jarnafeldt on the other hand maintained not just composure, but optimism. It was inspiring. The stuff leaders are made of. After a process that involved some discussion of ideas some might find absurd, I made her an offer."

You can't be too forward with this, with Kai here. "And... is it true, what he said, that she...?"

Thankfully he understands. "No. Erika won the lottery."

Oh thank the Gods.

"What?! You know... Erika. Her name was Erika. Erika Jarnafeldt. You knew her?!" Realizing you are speaking in front of two strangers and on a hot microphone causes you to dial back your enthusiasm, your face burning red. "I had... I barely remember her."

The tree swayed upon the wind, as if leaning back in a fireside armchair and recalling fond memories. "Yes. Her name was Erika. And, it was her name that my colleague had mentioned in our correspondence some time ago. Yes - Methuselah delivered stellar praise on your behalf, mentioning that you were her son. Aamu had mentioned an Oscar, but that name had never arisen in conversation. I simply remember the name Jarnafeldt."

"To speak the truth, I received correspondence of a recommendation upon at spring's breaking of winter by Methuselah. He mentioned your father by reference as the one who came to him, but Methuselah specified that Erika's daughter was looking to earn her place in the world. And I knew that the world could use more women like her. And so, with a glowing smile, I forwarded the letter of recommendation to the Stormwatch with my signature appended onto his." The voice let a small chuckle. "Waste not your breath on thanking me; do as I know is in your heart of hearts, and I will consider this repaid."

The warm and calming voice was pleasant, but to know he helped you get your position at the Stormwatch... you swell with gratitude. But there's still more you wanted to ask. "How did you know her?"

"Well, your mother was something of a diplomat. She had been sent many places to try and sort things out between people. She always strove towards peace and harmony... and a mission that my peers had suggested had need of just that." After a pause, a sigh came from the boughs. "I need you to bear with me, a moment. But Fiona. And Kai, too. Be still. Listen. Do you hear that? Do you feel that?"

The winds break upon the still leaf-clad branches of the forest. The grass waves in unison as the slightest gales push them down. The sky is a dim, vaguely orange blue as the late autumn noon hangs low overhead. Somewhere, a creature walks upon the ghillie suit of a huntsman seeking a more malicious prey.

And all together, you breathe in.

And out.
