OK, with Ren's little description of gear I just want to bring a few things up to clear the air on what exists and what doesn't.

Lasers and plasma weapons are not a practical thing. They are far too big for any normal person to use. Ships can use them as ships are much bigger than people. My reason for doing this is to avoid pissing matches on how, "My disintegration rifle can melt through that 2 foot steel door."

So for those of you who know, think Mass Effect, clips, bullets, and no crazy laser guns.

As for special tech, this galaxy is still pretty young all things considered. We have holograms, but no hard light. Similarly, shields are in the same boat as lasers, the only thing that can count as a personal shield is the Guardian's kinetic shield, which is a force shield on the arm, think like a glowing and partly translucent square shield.

As for power armor, everybody has it, but there are three types. Guardian, which is basically a super suit, heavily armored, augmented joints and force to turn a strong man into a juggernaut. Then Utility armor, this is the kind of stuff engineers, technicians and medics use. It's light in the way of protection, but has plenty of slots, utilities, and sources to perform different tasks, like welding, healing, and hacking in the field. Finally, is combat armor, this is a sort of medium armor that focuses more on being combat effective, having more spaces for extra clips and a few little slots for a select groups of "combat powers" like ammo types and cloaking for the infiltrator.

Now to describe a bit on ammo types, this is more of a soldier thing, but a soldier and infiltrator have access to different types of ammo that can be changed on the fly, even without swapping clips. Just enter in a command into your gun's interface and enjoy the new type of round. Now each gun is change by the round as well. explosive rounds would drop the clip size, range, and rate of fire, but get... well... explosive-ness. The same goes for other guns as well, but not all. The Argent Dawns weapons are mostly compatible, but certain types are not. Your generic rifle is. But the special burst shotgun that fires riot or lethal rounds would not be.

Now this isn't law. A technician doesn't have to wear utility armor if the situation doesn't' call for it. And a Guardian doesn't need to wear power armor or use the kinetic shield. I'd recommend it, because why would you have picked the class otherwise? Still, it is not law and long as you say, "Hey I dawn combat armor even though I'm a medic." I'll simply say have fun sport.

Finally, any "special" tech that you want your character to have, run it by me first. Chances are I will say yes, but I need to know and think about what this world can have in it's existence.

If anybody has any questions or concerns PLEASE let me know. I need feedback to do this right.
Sorry Hawk, I guess I never said Varus took his gift. My intention was to take it and put it under his arm to open later not to completely ignore it.
Varus turned and gave the Mu a passing lance, saying, "Oh I don't mean to be mean. I shall happily accept it, but I must not open it just yet." Holding out his hand to not seem too greedy by just taking it from the cart.

As for Rennac, he turned and nodded. While he could understand the need for your personal gear, Hell he had his sniper rifle. A custom weapon crafted with have more care and attention than any weapon should ever receive. But as for the armory, he may be surprised. The room was about a quarter of the size of the hanger, and the hanger had enough room for three personnel transports, two land scouts, four fighters, and two drop ships. Is it has to be that big in order to house all the different weapons for so many people and for so many situations.

"Feel free, there should be a crate in the armory labeled with your name, anything you packed should be in there." He finished.
Varus couldn't help but smile at the little show. Between almost being clocked and the quick to attention Mu it was a good moment to be a part of.

"At ease Max." He said holding his own right of the military routine. yet when offered with a gift, he was curious to accept. He knew Max liked to buy the crew little things, being the generous soul he is, but it's a rare day when he get's Varus something. Varus couldn't say he had many likes and the ones he did changed by next week. One thing though, he did like his weapons, whether bladed or loaded, and if he was lucky, both. He even took it onto himself to try and make a special set of gauntlets to use on missions... and after failing miserably, got Dresden to make them. What could be in the box? Only one way to find out.

"Thank you. I'm truly curious to see what's inside, but sadly it must wait. We are due to take off here soon." He said bowing lightly to Max.

He turned his head over to Ren, "When we take off I'll assemble a small council, and your clearances should be here very soon. They are being processed at the command deck as we speak. So I ask that you save your speech until you get a proper scan of the ship."
I'd vote the opposite, you were responded to first, make your case before mine.
Varus walked out of the room only glancing back to see if Taerys was trying to sneak out behind him. When she wasn't he turned and left down the halls. He had to check the hanger to see if the rest of the crew had come back, if so, they could finally take off.

His trip back wasn't a straight shot though. He made several stops at the various stations on the ship making sure the ship could take off as soon as he gave the command.

After about an hour he finally made his way back to the ship's hanger to see the remaining crew and Max, the smallest man to ever become a guardian. "Max! I was wondering where you were. I missed you buddy."
Varus was taken a bit aback as his words were muttled within his won mouth. "No, no, not 30 minutes you were under, that was only about 5-7ish. I was talking about as a whole." He said a tad frantically to cover his mistake.

Another thing too, Taerys' memory seems to be only up to the point where just before she cut into her arm. So the kiss was forgotten it would seem. He didn't know if he should be relieved or upset. Deciding on the former he realized that while he like Taerys, to love her was something he didn't know if he could do yet.

"Yes, of course, your right. I need to get the ship prepared for take off. And your confined to your room for the next hour. You'll be 100% before you set out." He said not as a person but as a Captain. Standing up and walking to the door to leave.
Varus was mindlessly rambling about stories here and stories there when Tearys began to stir. He quiet himself to watch the Varyx awake.

"I don't know, probably like 30 minutes. Are you feeling better?" He responded and asked respectively.

He began to look over her form trying to spot anything out of the ordinary. This was be a normal deal for her, but for anybody else she could mutate at any given moment. Yet her body looked fine in it's entirety. Then the thought of what just happened before she fell into her little coma came back to him and he felt a tad strange.

"How much do you remember?" He asked almost devoid of emotion.
Um... not to fight a point here but Varus' arms around her midsection? He laid her down and sat on the edge of the bed. Kinda like a sick person and their caretaker if that makes sense.
