(OCC: this is a thread for me to had out personalised weapons aside from the standard issue ones, so just turn up and collect them and I will in character explain their limitations, if you want them please PM me so this can be a quick in and out thread so we can all get on with the raid and ending this plot!)

The message had been sent around to people to come and collect their weapons and personalized gear, so Hades sat behind a counter with a number of computer screens and keyboards in front of him, ready to call up and hand out weapons.

Yes Pix had gotten the message about weapons, even though she was very new to the resistance. She hadn’t even really been looking for a resistance. It just sort of happened on day that she came across a talking snow shoe hare with, with the ability to electrocute someone and grow to the size of a tiger, and well, somehow ever that she was part of the resistance. Momma always said never follow white rabbits. Petunia had yet to decide if it was a good thing she never listened to momma’s advise or not.

So here she was, walking with the sharp clicks of her heals echoing down the hall, to get a new set of toys. She was dressed in her normal cloths, A shor skirt with thick striped leggings, boots, and a long coat covered her loose tank top with her long dragonfly wings poking out and resting, folded, against her back. Her hair was in two pig tails with neon blue die at the ends.

She entered the room, her steps never slowing or changing in rhythm till she decided to halt about five respectable feet away from the counter. “I got the message. So where’s the toys?”

The cameras stationed in the room matched Pix’s photo to her file true to his word a metal box rose out of the floor in front of Pix. It slid open and there nestled within were a number of canisters and an assortment of liquids and powders and two guns.

“The first canister contains a resurrected prehistoric dragonfly, the larges insect ever Meganeuropsis permiana, the second canister is a hybrid of the African ant and the fire ant, providing you numbers and a powerful bite, the third one is of a flesh eating scarab, a genetically modified relative of the dung beetle. The last one is a modified 1.5 inch long mosquito, Toxorhynchites normally they only suck nectar, but I modified them, they carry with them a godforsaken concoction, a combination of malaria, the filariasis worm (a parasite that causes a disfiguring condition often referred to as elephantiasis characterized by a great swelling of several parts of the body), yellow fever, dengue fever, epidemic polyarthritis, Rift Valley fever, Ross River Fever, St. Louis encephalitis, West Nile virus (WNV), Japanese encephalitis, La Crosse encephalitis and several other encephalitis type diseases, all of which have been boosted to act within minutes of being bitten but with reduced effect, so they will be less lethal but more debilitating, so be VERY VERY careful of who and what you bite.”

Hades then gestured to the weapons, “there you have the standard pulse rifle and one plasma rifle which will do light damage to a non shielded stalker. The final is that most of your insects carry chemical markers and indeed I have given you packets of chemical markers that will stick to the outer bodies of stalkers letting mutants like Shogun and other people wearing UV scopes to see where stalkers are. Now any questions?”

Pix, sensing the new insects suddenly move in their canisters, quickly snatched them up and opened them. Pausing particularly long at the large dragon fly insect, as the beautiful long wings hummed into silent action circling her shoulders. She held out her hand motioning to the canisters and obidiently the insects released the rest and they fetched her toys, touching them first before her hands as she lifted them. A small army of horse flies grasped the two guns and spun them in the air, turning them this way and that as Petunia carefully inspected them.

"I think I've got it." Petunia grinned and her tight cheeks creased with the shining reflections of her eyes. Marveling first at her new little friends, then the acceseries that came with them. "They'll have to care these things for me." She said more to herself as she turned her attention back to the dragon fly, marveling at it' posible strength and grace.

A strange message from a number unknown to Syn showed up on her cell phone. In the message were directions to the Armoury along with a note to to anyone wanting personalized gear for the raid. This greatly intrigued Syn and so she decided to check it out.

Walking into the room the black and red haird girl looked around. The place looked very clean. There were lots of cameras but that was to be expected given that there were weapons and who knows what else. Syn approached a man an another female as she didn't know who was running the place. "I'm here for some new toys."

Hades observed the arrival of this new person, he paused for a moment as the cameras again matched a snapshot of this new woman against Hunters massive database.

“Ah Miss Syn, what could I interest you in? What type of “toys” do you have in mind?”

"I would like something for up close and personal play as well as something with some range to it but nothing huge. Perhaps some sort of short sword that can cut throw metal doors and body armor and some sort of pistol." Syn thought for a moment. "I'd prefer it to not be a regular pistol for the obvious reason of our mission."

(I’m sorry my synish friend but I cannot resist. I’ll delete this post if you ask me to.)

Pix was examining her things when another woman entered the room, with hair almost, half way, as stylish as Pix’s neon blue pig tails. Petunia raised an eye brow and glanced at her from the corner of her eye with those bright Green eyes. Petunia blinked and pretended not to notice the new lady as she let her eyes focus back on that new giant dragon fly. It was a beauty after all. And those new things with stingers. She tried to remember how many different types of venom she would now be able to produce. Petunia really should catalogue that for Pix, herself, sometime.

Mean while two flies left the back of Petunia’s hand and circled the new lady. Buzzing by her ear maybe once and then of course in front of Syn’s eyes. One might of looked like it was giving Syn a little solute as it hovered in front of her face for a split second.

Pix held her hand out for the little flies and they each landed on her palm. Mean while the large dragon fly, no longer the most interesting thing in the room, moved obediently to the back of Pix’s head where it sat like a giant gaudy hair bow. This left Pix’s other hand free so that she could point at her other little friends. “My buddies here think you smell good.” Pix told the other lady.

"I would like something for up close and personal play as well as something with some range to it but nothing huge. Perhaps some sort of short sword that can cut throw metal doors and body armor and some sort of pistol." Syn thought for a moment. "I'd prefer it to not be a regular pistol for the obvious reason of our mission."

“Ok that is not too difficult. By the way Pix do remember to watch what you bite or you get your little minions to bite.”

Hades fingers flew over the keyboard, and pictures flashed up on the screen.
There was the hum of machinery and door opened in the wall and one got a glimpse of rows and rows or weapons of all sorts, but only for an instant as the robot bearing a tray came out and the door receded into a smooth wall again.

The tray stopped in front of Syn and there were two interesting looking medium length blades and two chunky looking pistols.

“The knives you are holding are called vibro-blades, when they power up they vibrate. These knives will cut through flesh, bone, walls, hell even light to medium tank armour like a hot knife through butter. The guns on the other hand are a Glock G11’s one of the few guns to fire caseless bullets, meaning that you have a few thousand rounds in one clip, and it is one of the few guns that require a processor to run. So to recap, you have knives that are stupidly sharp and had guns with tonnes of ammo per clip and stupid firing rate. How is that for on the spot service and recommendation?”

After giving her requests to the man Syn suddenly noticed there seemed to be bugs in the room. She could hear the buzzing sound of flies. Sure enough a pair of them flew around her. One even hovered in front of her for a moment. It did something strange with one of it's legs that Syn didn't quite catch. A moment later it flew off in the direction of the other female in the room.

Syn's eyes followed the insects flight to the other girl's hand and then she examined the girl for a moment. She gave a compliment that while being a bit strange it still gave the girl a sense of pride. "Well, it's always good when others find you pleasant. By the way I like your hair."

Before the girls could continue their conversation one of the walls opened up and to Syn's amazement there was a vast array of weapons exposed. A robot carrying a tray emerged and proceeded into the room. The tray had several items upon it. These items were introduced to Syn by the man. A very wicked smile spread across the girls face once she understood what she was being offered. "These will do very nicely. Just one question. Do I get to keep them?"

The creases on Petunia’s cheeks deepened as Pix’s smile spread. This synish lady had good taste.

” By the way Pix do remember to watch what you bite or you get your little minions to bite.”

“So testing on people here is probably out of the question.” She mumbled. “darn” She addressed Hades again with her normal tone. “Don’t worry. It’s been two months since I’ve bitten myself, well… seven weeks, 4 days, 23 hours, and 47 minutes, but yeah. About two months.”

She turned and admired the room full of weaponry for the few seconds that the was open. Then the room had closed but at least she could admire the ones carried in on the tray and what was carrying them in.

“Why didn’t you tell her to be careful about who she was pointing those things at?” Ok saying that they were stupidly sharp was a similar way but the difference in the warnings was something she took odd interest in.

"These will do very nicely. Just one question. Do I get to keep them?"

“Hmm, I don’t think so as Hunter requires all weapons returned at the end of the mission, and if they are not retured they are presumed lost the self-destruct mechanism will detonate. After this mission however my contract will end and if at that point in time you come and as me I may be able to design something for you, otherwise take it up with Hunter.”

((OOC: This is after returning from the camp mission))

Making her way back to the place with all the wonderful weapons Syn immediately began looking for the man that had let her borrow the killing tools.

The desk was empty when Syn walked in, there was a clear bench with a marked square with the words "place weapon here" written on it. As Syn placed her weapons down where here skin touched the square, there was a scanning light and the computer analysed her finger print.
The words 'Printing Feedback Slip' appeared on the screen and a card emerged. The card was totally blank except for the words ‘Once Only” printed on it, with one thumb outline on one side of the card and two finger outlines on the other side, when Syn and Syn alone pressed those outlines a way of contacting Hades would appear on the card and as soon as she removed her fingers it would disappear. The card would turn to ash after being looked at once.

((OOC: And now Syn is out of the Labs having arranged for her own transportation back to Sanctuary.))
