    Sunny will find plenty of them that could use company, but once they see her, several reach out to take her hand, thanking her and her works for saving their lives.

    Vasquez gives her a shake of her head. "Not yet." She gets back on the comm with the diplomat. "And tell them to send one over as soon as possible. Preferably in a good Time Zone."

    Goeff looks over the lists several times, checking each item in turn. it'll take a few hours, but eventually, he nods. "Very well. What's your account number?" He asks with a slight smile.

    Infirmary

    "You're very brave," Sunny says, her voice showing emotion for the first time since she was teleported out of MagMart. She doesn't have much else to say, but she spends a little time with everyone who is awake and wants company before she heads back towards the machine shop. But on the way she slips into a supply closet and finally lets herself cry.

    Comm Center

    Delisle expected that answer. She refills Vasquez's coffee and returns to her job.

    Infirmary

    Unfortunately for Sunny, no one is there to comfort her.

    Comm Center

    Vasquez takes the coffee and drinks it before explaining the bug problem as best as she can. She stops when an aide rushes over. "Ma'am, your armor components have arrived." She nods. "We'll stay in touch, Ledaal, but consider yourself in my trust. Good luck." She says before shutting it off and following the aide.

    Inside-General/Armoury

    Much of the equipment is moved to the Armories and Motor Pool, but several large crates are left out. Geoff cracks one open in front of the off duty soldiers. Inside, are racks of new armor for the standard trooper. The most obvious difference, is instead of the gray, it's a flawless white. It looks a lot like the medium grade armor the standard soldier wears, but a full helmet is included. An Alchemical Symbol is printed in gold on the left side of the chest, over the heart. The plates seem a little thicker and a tightly woven white cloth fills the gaps, allowing unrestricted movement. It covers the entire body, and is outfitted with pockets and slots to be filled and used.

    Attached to the thick pauldrons, is a long deep purple cape. It seems to absorb the light, making it stand out greatly in contrast to the white armor. "This, my friends, is the new Body Armor Type 1. Or just AT1 if you want to call it that. You'll notice the color difference, but that's purely cosmetic. The rest, I assure you, is better than what most of you used to wear. The armor is both lighter and thicker, and the cloth is a tighter weave, making any part of your body resistant to most firearms, as well as blades and bludgeoning weapons. The helmets collapse into the armor, and provide a wide range of vision spectra to see through illusions, and there's even a motion sensor when all else fails.

    Woven into the cloth are strength enhancers, allowing you to lift a decent amount more than you're used to, between half again, to 100% increase of strength. Each one has a small cold fusion cell powering it, but don't worry, it's stable, and is given denser armor to assure complete protection. The underlayer is able to monitor your medical conditions, and even administer basic pain killers and anti-biotics when needed, and can even seal itself around a wound to stop the bleeding."
    When he gets to the cloak, he smirks and chuckles. "Looks useless, right? But it's not. The cape is an armored neuroweave, patched into your suit. With some practice, you can control it's movements to help deflect or absorb shots, and possibly use it as a rope as it's able to flex a great deal." To demonstrate it, he takes a bit and pulls, stretching it a bit. "In extreme cases, it can be made to turn ridged, but that destroys the integrity after a couple uses." He lets the cloth drop and looks at the soldiers.


    "Now, the older equipment will be scavenged for parts, and all of it will be put to good use in some form or other. Different armor and equipment will be given to specialist units since their armor might need different functions, but for now, these are fully customizable. Just keep it clean."


    "I know you're wondering if this'll make you look like a baffoon, but I assure you, it isn't. We need to look like a unit. An organized force who believes in the betterment of Inside. We can't keep going around wearing nothing but our ratty black uniforms and battered armor. We're no longer The Empire, we're what's left, Remnants. We need people to be able to look up to us, to trust us, for their children to point at us and say "Daddy, some day, I want to be like them!", and for them to mean it! An image of purity and strength, is just as strong as one of power and dominion, we just have to wear it." He tells them.

    General - Armoury

    Sunny emerges, dry eyed, in time to watch Geoff demonstrate the new armour, at least for a few minutes. Once it was obvious that he wasn't going over any of the technical specs in detail, she gets bored with it and heads back to the machine shop.

    Sometime later, a robot with a jackhammer starts making holes in the foundation.

    [Gate]

    A reptile, larger than a horse, approaches the gate. It had a narrow snout and large pale eyes. Its toes were wide and padded, and it was draped in blue and gold rainment. Riding in the oversized saddle were a pair of drow, Sornnolu and Tebtranlyn of House Xar'Cha. They stop a respectful distance from the gate, but close enough to be seen.

    Main Gate

    They'll be stopped near the gate by a pair of newly armored soldiers. "Your business?" One asks. No weapons are aimed at them, but it's obvious the guns could be adjusted quickly and fired.

    Some distance away from the gate, outside of the zone repelling teleportation, Lady Feia appears with a rather green-coated mass floating at her side.

    She has a present for the Remnant and she is here to deliver it.

    Onwards!

    Several armed men and women ready their weapons at the newcomer, just in case she's a threat, but hold from opening fire. Carol, in one of the tower, looks at her through the scope of her rifle.

    [Gate]

    It should be clear that the drows' mission was more diplomatic than hostile. I honestly doubt they were going to charge the gate on a single cave lizard.

    "We of House Xabaresh Chaeron request a meeting with your leader, Vasquez." Sornnolu calls out. "We wish to speak of the possibility of an alliance, and the offer of aid."

    [Gate 2]

    Despite the tears in her dress giving her an indecent appearance (somewhat marred by the accompanying blood in some places), Feia holds a degree of dignity and distinct satisfaction.

    Noting the soldiers with their wary demeanors and guns, she stops some distance away and gestures to the mass beside her.
    She makes sure to speak loud enough to be heard, and clearly.
    "I have brought you the leader of the AMENite forces."

    Straight to the point, no sense giving the Remnant the runaround.

    On the way to the Tent

    On the way, they'll see several improvements to buildings being made, and people testing out their new equipment. They'll see Fred and Dizzy, both wearing their armor without the helmets up, sparring. The first, a drow, smiles as he obviously lets the part-dragon past his defenses. It's apparent they're both merely toying with each other though, slowing down their speeds.

    "Yes, I suppose proof would be prudent..."

    She considers the mass. Should could remove the ectoplasm, or part of it, but any release on the bonds is a risk, with this particular prisoner.
    Feia isn't entirely sure of all of his tricks yet.

    "One moment while I secure him."
    The sorceress will now be taking a few moments to trace a few choice glyphs along the ectoplasm not around Gordon's head.
    Specifically, a glyph of silence, a glyph of sleep on the chance he wakes up at a bad moment, and for good measure a glyph of fatigue inducing energies.

    This will take a few moments to do.
