Prepping for War

Mission: The Lost Brother

So we need to work into for this and I going expand the previous conversation into a full post.

The door opened, Tal walked through. "George is a little slow today... Lt Boucher, hows josephine doing today."

"Josephine just fine I can incinerate a fly from eighteen hundred meters, Ma'am." CJ grinned. "I'll have somebody from Ops look at George."

"Don't incourage him" Soran laughed.

"So we have our orders I take it. Xavier may be my husband, but hes real strict when it comes to orders."

"The captain couldn't tell me everything apparently there's some sort of classified hush hush thing going on." Wagnor explained. "However from what he was able to say we could be walking into a war zone. M class planet jungle terrain, so we're going in heavy. Let's just say in my past combat experience I've been used to an array of explosive ordinance that the federation doesn't doesn't necessarily approve of. I don't fancy the idea of having to justify requisitioning restricted ordinance. So here's my solution."

He turned to the table, "the captain has approved and the use of stun generates and plasma players are standard issue. "

He picked up one of the couplers, "If you attach a stun grenade to a flare like so, you have a small plasma bomb or grenade. We will see to it that both teams have flares and grenades, you will have the couplers. I trust you to use them if you need them."

"My home planet was a lush Jungle planet." She smiled. "I will be right at home in the tree tops."

"Then you know the challenge of jungle terrain, that's good." Wagnor nodded. "Boucher show the Lieutenant How to use the coupler."

"I call this a boom link, now you take the flange of the flare and top of grenade and twist them into the coupler. You're gonna pull the pin on the floor and activate the grenade like so." CJ grinned.

Soran rolled his eyes at CJ's foolishness.

Tal looked at it. "Like this." She pulled the pin

"That's right, the couplers holds on the flares switch in place so that you can use the stun grenades concussion wave to spread the the plasma. They can be thrown or set up withe proximity detector as a booby trap. You can also set timer on them." CJ looked up at Tas. "I'd imagine you'd be able to throw one of these with a decent amount of accuracy."

Dropping the grenade... "You got a dud, it didnt go boom." She picked it back up with her tail and handed it to him.

"You think I'd let this chowder head show you how to do that with a live grenade?" Soran said dryly.

"Your faith in me is touching,, Sir." Boucher smirked.

"Whos on the teams thats going down."

"You will be leading one team and I'll be leading another my team will consist of will Commander Stoffels three security officers and a medic. Your team will be four security officers and a medic. CJ is going with Commander Doctrine."

"Understood. Hey Boucher, i'd like some alone time with josephine... would you mind."

"May ask why, Ma'am?" CJ inquired.

"To see if she lives up to the name. I got practice before we leave."

"I guess that would be alright, " Boucher said with a nodd. "She calibrated for me, but you've do fine."

"Relax Lt. Xavier explained how people can bond over things, as well as people. I would never under good conscience ask for it." Pausing, "However I would like a replica or a weapon of the same design."

CJ eyes lite as move grab a PADD, "Josephine is partially my own design. I've incorporated some of the elements of Caroline my rifle from back home with the Federation sharps rifle." He handed her the PADD, he turned and got Josephine out of the case. "Now you'll be needing custom stock. This one is set for my shoulder."

"Has Commander here shown you the Carbine the Captain and myself designed on the Wellington."

"As a general rule I prefer the precision of the long rifle to a carbine." Boucher explained. "The Commander has asked me to give the carbine a try."

"Well, if you want I have some spares."

"I think I'll stick with Josephine for now until I'm more familiar with the carbine." CJ smiled.


"We have a chief petty officer Rick Jones, if you want suggestions for members of the team."

" Your recommendation is good enough for me," Boucher "I'll take him along."

Tal looked at the time. "When is the briefing?"

"Soon, I'll be takin' my leave of you." The man nodded and walk out.

Raising an eyebrow, "was it something I said?" Tal replied as she turned

"Not at all," Soran said. "CJ just likes to be on time at all, I believe we have a briefing of our own to get to."
