[i]She rapid-tapped the credit card.[/i] [b]They look to be using primarily ballistics weapons. However, so long as they do not recognize me or discover my identity I should be safe.[/b] [i]Rachael was quick to equip the armor and the ballistics mask. She immediately went over to Alice to look through the weapons, looking for something akin to her previous sword and submachine gun. [/i]

*She found an alien-looking submachine gun, the grip being made for four fingers rather than five. It would do, though. Luckily the armor had spaces for eight more magazines and a place to attach a sheath. Alice handed her a sword, similar to her own but shorter.*
-
[i]She took the gun, looking it over and checking the magazine before clipping it to her hip. Taking more magazines, she made sure she was loaded with enough to defend herself and yet still remain light. To Alice, it appeared that Rachael had not been lying about her past. She moved swiftly and completely silently. Taking the sword, she tested the grip and weight before sheathing it on her back. Now at least she had some defense, though she hoped it wouldn’t be necessary.[/i]
-
*The sword had a black blade, one side sharpened and the other side toothed like half of a zipper. It wasn’t for sawing, but possibly for catching the blades of other swords.*
-
[i]Serrated blades were useful in some respects, and Rachael was quite alright with having one. Being now armed and armored, and with a mask to conceal herself, she seemed a little more at ease. It wasn’t that she couldn’t operate without armor and weapons, but in the face of an army and the men she knew were heading it, she needed gear.[/i]

<The toothed side of that blade is not for cutting, it’s a sword breaker. Are you ready to get breakfast now?>
-
[b]Yes.[/b] [i]She had assumed the point of the blade, but she said nothing. Food was a good thought, though.[/i]
