As Oliver waited for Shona's response he had introduced himself properly to the female corsac fox next to him. His initial flirt with the girl did seem to have catched her off guard and drove off a bit. None the less after introducing himself she did shake his hand and turned her attention towards the briefing. Raisa did not seem to be the kind of girl who'd be interested in anything else except her job. As the tiger was thinking about how to get her to lighten up a bit his PADD blinked that there was a new message.

It was a response of the bat girl. She had read his question and messeged the tiger right back. Oliver was happy that Shona was interested in teaming up with him on this project. The tiger always liked interacting with people on many different fronts. He was already looking forward to working with Shona and was curious to what programs the bat was referring too. Oliver had some ideas about how to build it and what to share and stuff but input from someone else would always make things better and makes working much more fun. For now however Oliver had to focus on the rest of the briefing.

As colonel Blade finished up his briefing Oliver walked towards the GEAR deck. As he entered the tiger laid his eyes upon the Trius Heavy Industry S-Series Saxknot. The truth was that Oliver had mostly piloted training GEARS and only had a few hours of experience in this model. As he stood in front of the majestic machine he was slightly intimidated. This time it was still a simulation but the next time shit might be for real. He'd better make sure to get his act together. His teammates will rely on him doing his job properly in the field after all. For a moment he stared at GEAR and smiled in excitement. It was time to push his limits.

Just before the tiger was about to enter his vehicle he turned towards the technician who was finishing the last calibrations on Saxknot. "Yo Alexi, did you do that requested change?"Said the tiger with a grinn. A large, grumphy looking bear looked up from his work and nodded. "I not sure why you wanted to have gear with unrestricted computer access but none of my business. Just keep your end of deal, boy". Oliver smiled and raised his thumb as he climbed into his GEAR. "Don't worry bro, the vodka will be yours after this training exercise".

Oliver closed his cockpit and plugged in his PADD. This was going to be the point where he would violate some of the LDF regulations. With one press on the button the L/OS of the GEAR started to boot but halted with the question "Select boot device". With a few voice commands the GEAR's computer started to load software from his PADD. Alexi had made sure for him that certain security features where removed allowing Oliver to run custom software on his GEAR which is a direct violation of LDF regulations. As Oliver's own version of L/OS loaded he started to calibrate the controls of his GEAR. He had run this version on several training models during his GEAR pilot course but never on the new S-Series. As several checks where completed Oliver maneuvered his GEAR towards the launch point. The first few steps where a little awkward and unbalanced and made him look a bit like a rookie doing his first run in a GEAR. But after a few steps the software adapted and the Saxknot started to move more fluently. 
As the controls have come online, Oliver booted up the other systems. Weaponsystems...check, communication...check, Electronic warfare/codecracking module...check. All systems up and running. Oliver opened up the comlink and spoke "This is private Oliver Stone, ready for action"

As the tiger moved his GEAR out of the hangar deck the orders of the colonel came through the radio. " Warlock, take Bell, Stone and Kelsea as your scouting team" Immidiatly Oliver switched his main commlink for communication with his teammates. "Hey guys, Oliver here. Looks like the fun is starting soon" Said Oliver wich a cheerfull voice through the commlink.
