Much like Max, Silverwind also retired to his quarters. Taking a different approach, he pulled out a backpack and organised the essentials for his deployment from his own equipment; spare clothing, toiletries and personal items. The rest would be issued equipment, drawn from stores as always. Sitting down at the small desk in his room, he toggled his pebble to give him a keyboard and a projected screen and went to work on his admin. Various messages had to be exchanged, signed off, and filed as was the nature of anything military or related to the government, there was an electronic trail of correspondance. He signed off of Max's requests to the armoury, and filled in his own to accompany it. 

[i]Colonel Silverwind Joseph "Razor" Blade
"Assault/DMR"
M23 Battle Rifle, 3x Optical/Holographic sight, underbarrel shotgun
M61 + LAM Unit
Standard GEAR Pilot armour vest % Helmet[/i]

That seemed adequate. He didn't need to file a request for Cat this time around; as part of the planes' aircrew, she'd be issued with standard gear, and he had faith they could take care of that. If it got to the point she was on the ground, all of them would be in trouble, and it didn't bear thinking about. Tabbing through windows, he reached the loadout request for his GEAR and paused as he considered the mission intel, taking a sip of the tea he'd made for himself while he worked through the admin. He opened Max's request and reviewed it once more; picking complimentary loadouts was common sense. They needed to be flexible, but pack a hefty punch in case of the unexpected, or on the chance that the assault guns didn't go down as easily as hoped. And there was the need to cover Anna's extraction as well. Reviewing the weapon specs along with the mission requirements, the silver fox made his choices and tapped in the details.

He reviewed the request, and content with it - at least as much as he could be - he sent it on it's way through the network, before leaning back to finish his drink. His stomach rumbled, reminding him of the other 'order of business' to address before departure. There was time enough, and it'd all be taken care of.

Before too long, Silverwind stood once more in the cargo hold of the [url=https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/36bed805-6b34-4819-be74-2b2e94e4ebd5/db58run-f930d837-ce2b-4775-b03b-c0355249508f.jpg/v1/fill/w_1600,h_737,q_75,strp/boeing_c_23_neptune_stealth_cargo_by_jsa_arts_db58run-fullview.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOiIsImlzcyI6InVybjphcHA6Iiwib2JqIjpbW3siaGVpZ2h0IjoiPD03MzciLCJwYXRoIjoiXC9mXC8zNmJlZDgwNS02YjM0LTQ4MTktYmU3NC0yYjJlOTRlNGViZDVcL2RiNThydW4tZjkzMGQ4MzctY2UyYi00Nzc1LWIwM2ItYzAzNTUyNDk1MDhmLmpwZyIsIndpZHRoIjoiPD0xNjAwIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmltYWdlLm9wZXJhdGlvbnMiXX0.yjFzoe4-C-tVgGt5sPQMtH_JEisOyeGXuzPZNodQQU0]stealthy transport.[/url] The pair of GEARs were loaded in crouched travel positions toward the rear of the bay, with the forward part taken up with a modular, palletised command and control center, tied into the aircrafts' electrical and avionic systems. Cat would be taking position there during the actual mission, right now, it was serving as more seating for the flight, as there were operators for the equipment. Another pallet held support equipment for the GEARs, and the jump seats along both sides of the bay had bene left in place for the technicians, as well as the unit themselves. It all looked ready for the off, so he slung his bag alongside one seat and strapped himself into place as the Loadmaster directed.
