Selene stepped into an alcove where she had placed her duffel bag. She stripped out of her white flight suit, took off her helmet and bio sensor and placed them in the bag. She took a moment to tie her blond hair back into a tight pony tail and then pulled on her undersuit. The undersuit was a black body stocking with a fine inlay of platinum wire that allowed her armor to communicate with her body. She headed back out into the chamber pushing past Snake and the new marine, apparently engaged in some sort of tactical conversation. With a sigh she stepped into the auto-armorer.

In theory the auto-armorer should only exert a slight pressure. Unfortunately that was based on a theory that all soldiers were of a more or less standard shape. Older marines joked that the auto-armorer would eventually pound you into the 'standard shape' and Selene could well believe it. Sixty long, uncomfortable seconds later she was latching down her helmet visor.

[b]“AID,”[/b] she queued bringing her HUD live in a flash across her retinas. Her standard display showed up as a transparent mask allowing her to see the status of all the soldiers in her charge. All still green. A woman was walking towards her, the AID carroted her as Alice. The ship had a mobile avatar for its AI?

"Greetings Miss Mazierska, have you wrapped things up here?" 

Selene smiled politely.

[b]“Yes Alice, as soon as Officer O'Henessey and that private clear the chamber we can seal it and drain the power,” [/b]she turned to include the two men in the conversation. O'Henessey was the officer after all. The others, apparently concerned about being thrown out an airlock had already left.
