Major Winters and one of the Assault Greywolves accompanied her to the medical bay, as she was getting her bionic leg re configured with something more durable and reliable.
Her daily “tune up”.
Doctor Lacon, the head of the bionic department was adjusting her salvos with a few various tools to tighten up the configurations to her joints.
“Thanks for coming along, 3.” She said as she grunted here and there as it was causing minor pain.
“No problem ma’am. Figured you could use the company. Plus, this floor fascinates me.” He shrugged.
“Sorry ma’am, trying to make some minor adjustments. This is a new prototype, with you in mind of course. I can’t have you break your shit by the time you touch ground or kick a door in.”
“Aye ma’am. I’ll be fine.” She gritted her teeth a little in response.
3 stood watch, looking around the medical department.
Staff Sergeant Allyn walked in and saw Major Winters on the special mechanized bed, as her bionic leg was splayed open, exposing components and circuitry. “Hey Doc, how’s her leg?” He smiled.
“She’s got a new leg to work with. Make sure she doesn’t overdue it.” She looked up at Staff Sergeant Allyn.
“I’ll be sure to keep an eye out.” He nodded at Doctor Lacon as Major Winters stood off the bed slowly to get comfortable with her new leg.
“How’s does it feel?” Lacon asked.
“Much lighter actually.” She was doing calf raises and moved her leg around.
“Titanium alloy. They say it’s pretty strong, and light weight for its properties.” She replied as she was examining Winters to make sure she could hold weight on it.
“I should get something fixed.” Allyn chuckled.
Doctor Lacon laughed a little, “There’s no fixing your small dick, Allyn.”
3 stifled his chuckle as he turned away.
“FUCKING BURN!” Winters howled as she was laughing.
The only one not smiling was Allyn.
Doctor Lacon’s short curly hair, mixed with light brown eyes and a picture perfect smile couldn’t help hold back the laugh. “I’m sorry Allyn, that was a low blow.” She laughed a little more.
Staff Sergeant Allyn turned on his heels and left the room, as 3 straightened himself out before he was within eyesight.
“That was a solid one, Doc. Nice. He’s gonna be mighty pissed for awhile.” Winters said.
“He doesn’t realize I’m mad at him still for not calling me back after the dinner date.” She told Winters.
The other technicians were clearing the bed and getting it prepared for the next appointment that was upcoming.
“Oh? I didn’t know you and Allyn were a thing! He never mentioned it.” Winters rubbed her chin.
“Well, I want a second date. See if you can work your charm – or give him a direct order. Either way works!” Lacon turned around and closed up her computer terminal. “Good luck on your operation, ma’am. I’ll see you when you get back.”
They waved and 3 was following Winters closely, making sure she could walk normally.

Back in the briefing room, the Greywolves sat for a mission update. They had their data pads on their laps and reviewing new text documents.
Major Winters pulled up a map on the big screen in front of them and started the information piece and assigning tasks.
“So, my course of action is to drop us right at the location, dead of night. Humid a little bit. Weather wise, it’ll be clear skies.” She drew a circle over a cluster of small buildings with a red digital marker on the screen.
“I’d like us to meet here, and just search for the weapon system. We haven’t gotten the full intel due to equipment issues, so we hope that this should be pretty slick. Nothing we can’t handle.” She drew a couple of giant red X’s.
“The manpower isn’t as heavy, so we’re looking at a half platoon sized element of enemy activity. But they are definitely constantly roving the area. 24 hour coverage is to be assumed.”
Staff Sergeant Allyn added, “I’d like to take a small element ma’am on the other side. See if we can search faster and find this fucking thing.”
Winters nodded.
“We’re gonna split the team in half. I will lead Alpha Team, and Staff will take lead for Bravo.”
She pulled out the roster.
“1, 3, my assaults, 6, and 8, Gas Man, you are with me. 9, you can join me as well. 11 and 10, I want you guys posted up on your own. You will be our overwatch. The remainder of the team will be with Allyn. Any objections?” She asked.
No one spoke up.
“Excellent. Our flight time is in two hours, get your gear together and I’ll meet you all on the flight line.”
