He got up and opened the engine hood and adjusted the gas intake and exhaust output. He wasn't really worried about any of it he was more or less just trying to kill time till the next Pelican drop. He walked and got a can of gas and started refilling the warthog.

Mathias grabbed his last peice of equipment, which was his helmet and set it on his shaven head. His olive drab colored helmet bore many scratches and a few dents. His rank insignia was on each of his shoulders. Both on his BDU jacket and the armor on his shoulders. Leaving the barracks he headed down to the armory to get his weapons and grenades before catching a ride back down to Theta Halo.

((ok, got it))
A directory hung above the hallway he walked down reading ARMORY in bold print, as well as a few other signs telling where other various locations such as the Bridge were located. He took the direction the armory sign had pointed. Coming upon the armory itself he approached the front desk to sign out his own M247 machine gun. It had been modified though for mobility, rather then staying in a fixed position. It had been fitted with a slightly shorter barrel, that was easily interchangeable if it got too hot, along with 200 round box magazine, rather then the normal drum magazine. He grabbed what spare ammo he could, since he didnt know how long he was going to be down on Theta Halo for. Afte a few minutes, and now was fully geared up and ready to go. He made haste to the hanger to make sure he didnt miss getting a ride from a pelican down to the ring world.

Tom walked along the halls with a confident and refreshed air. He had gotten a full 8 hours of sleep for the first time in a week, he wasn't in the first groups to go down to theta halo, and he had finally gotten enough hair gel to last him the trip.
he walked into the armory with that same confident air, and was once more in luck. They were out of the standard assault rifles, so he was let loose into the armory to choose a couple of guns of his own. He picked a powerful SRS99C Sniper rifle, a shotgun, and ammo for the both of them. he made sure he had plentiful ammo for his sidearm, and then grabbed 4 grenades, stowing them in their pouches. He also requested an additional side holster for weapon storage should he run into covenant and feel the need to 'commandeer' their weapons.
He walked out of the armory, and made haste to the hangar, guns clacking against his sides as he went. He did NOT want to be late.

Mathias sat off to the side out of the way of the technicians and mechanics, mindlessly trying to repair something, or arguing with one another over what needs to be done. His M247 was slung over his shoulder at this point and he waited.

He closed the hood and put his tools in his tool satchel and headed down to the Armory to sign out his Assault Rifle and Pistol. He holstered his pistol and slung his assault rifle over his shoulder and headed out of the armory towards the Hangar and sat with the rest of the technicians and leaned back on some of the tool boxes and stuff and closed his eyes deciding to get some sleep before the drop.

Master Sergeant Twombley sat still watching the people rushing about, he was starting to be anxious to fight. He kept himself calm though, knowing from past experience that getting over-anxious can get sumone killed. He had watched one of his close friends get killed because of this, on his first combat mission. It botherd him to think about it so close to making the drop, he wiped it from his mind and checked over his gear again to keep his mind occupied.

The voice on the loud speaker, filled the hanger bay. He made sure yet again that he had all his stuff, securing his 'SAW' over his shoulder, along with all the ammo that went with it that he had on his combat vest. He noticed all the other soldiers getting ready to go, most of them were privates or private first class. Finally he stood up and moved towards where he would be loading up.

He woke up and sighed he un-holstered his pistol checked it and made sure it was loaded and re-holstered it. "Seems we'll be getting outta here sooner than I thought." He smirked and checked his tools and seeing he had forgotten one he ran back to his bay and grabbed it out of the drivers seat of the warthog.
