Logan heard most of the conversations going on around him, but he didn't bother to join in. He was thinking about some of the things that Blade said. Squads of GEARs disappearing, then coming back a week later with no recollection of what happened? GEARs without pilots? Siganals coming from nowhere? This was some pretty wierd shit they were getting themselves into. He didn't know what they were going up against, but he agreed with the Jackall. This definitely wasn't going to be a walk in the park.

Blade's voice broke his train of thought. "Okay, everyone. Look alive - get your GEAR harnesses on and yer pilot suits. Suit up for a briefing in ten minutes. Time for your first exercise!"

Had it been an hour already? It certainly didn't seem like it. Nevertheless, he obeyed the colonel's orders. He went into his room, and came out a few minutes later, with his GEAR harness and pilot suit on. He then joined Blade, and started waiting for the others.
