To plan to gnaw at the tree of truth..

[Nodoka Hanamura]

As the group looks on at the Armory, seeing various weapons, Nodoka proceeds to pick one out of one of the slots that it sits in, a L85A2. "My father's great grandfather had one of these. He fought in the Royal British Army back in the 2000s. I need to give one of these a go." She says as she then turns to look through the assorted Attachments. Honya, carrying a duffel bag, whispers to Noel, out of the sight of the others. "I need to get something, could you please let them know I'll be right back, Noel-san?" She then walks off to a nearby bathroom. Bride, mostly recovered from her incident earlier, is decked out with her personal firearms, a Colt M1911 and a Saiga 12K.

Nodoka finishes customizing her weapon, putting a combat scope and straight grip on it, and proceeding out to an adjacent firing range. "I've always loved bullpup weapons - My father said that He always liked them because they looked like the rifles of the future - Funny how from what I've seen, most energy weapons follow a bullpup form factor." She says as she aims down the sights. "Yeah. Personally I like my guns to have stopping power - Alexei actually gave me this.." Bride says as she holds up her shotgun, brandishing it. "It's a old relic from the Coalition's early years - can you believe they still make these?" she then takes a magazine with a green band on it, continuing. "I mark my different ammo with colors. Green is 00 Buckshot, Red is Slug, Blue is Stinger Pellets, Black is Fragmentation, and Cyan is Pulse." she says, loading the magazine and chambering the first shell.
