Chapter 1440 Taking Stock

"I still think it's not a good idea to let a commander who had no idea of the situation take over this operation. It's too risky. Getting him killed would only set us back in more debt." Diaz said while Tellie turned off her eye projector.
"Vote of no confidence for me as well." Click raised her hands and so did Tellie, leaving Yinn the only one who wanted the mission to get over and done with.please visit fr𝘦𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋𝘯oѵeƖ.c𝚘m.
"So what are you going to do, LT?" Yinn sighed as she turned her head towards Jin.
"As LT, you guys still have to follow orders so matter how FUBAR it is, right?" Jin questioned them and they did not seem to recognise the acronym that Jin had used. "Gosh… the looks on your faces…. What I meant is Fuck Up Beyond All Repair."
"Indeed, that sounds like this current situation. But yes, we have to obey them no matter how stupid the orders are. That does not mean that we Mechanoids cannot show our displeasures based on the orders given." Yinn said and the rest did show their displeasure.
"Then let's go on with it. I do not know how "I" did it before but I hoped that the current me would show better results than the previous." Jin said and the Grey Bear Squad nodded their heads reluctantly.
"Just promise us to get everyone back in one piece. And that includes you." Yinn commented. "I am not showing concern because I care about you, but rather the squad's wallet."
"What kind of weaponry do we have in our current possession?" Jin decided not to dally and asked what they had at the moment.
"Two standard issue assault rifles." Tellie walked to the side of the safehouse and showed their current armoury box.
"The other two had been destroyed or lost," Diaz said with her hands folded while looking in the direction of Yinn and Jin.
"Sorry about that, I had to use that as a blunt weapon to survive an attack else I would not be able to reach the LT in time." Yinn shrugged her shoulders while not apologetic for her actions.
"I guess the previous me had lost the other." Jin too did not let the accusation bother him as he walked towards the box and saw how Tellie's authentication allowed the armoury box to unlock and reveal the weapons. As she had said there were indeed two assault rifles and they were both surprisingly familiar.
"M4A1s…" Jin whispered and Tellie nodded her head.
"Guess, you could remember what gun models they are." Tellie grinned at her own comment and lifted the flaps on the armoury box unveiling its bottom layer. "Two Heckler & Koch MP5s because we do not have that much money left and four Browning Hi Power Pistols alongside a few extra ammo clips."
"Other than that, I have a Remington 870 Pump Action Shotgun with me. Got about 36 rounds." Diaz declared as she held up her weapon.
"We also still have a few armour plates… and one extra armour vest since LT Jin seemed to have misplaced his as well." Click said as she fumbled through the armour case at the side to reveal a series of ceramic plates all packed nicely within the box.
"Do all of those weapons have fingerprint authentication as well?" Jin asked as he pulled out his gun and saw that it was the same Browning Hi Power Pistols that were packed within the armoury box.
"No, only your current pistol. You just wanted that as some added security." Yinn replied as she picked up the M4A1 while reaching for a backpack. Out from the backpack was what seemed to be a series of attachments that she was familiar with and started to equip on the assault rifle. From a silencer to sight attachments and even an additional grip.
"We do not have that much money to put such a miscellaneous useless feature on our weapons." She added as the CPL picked up her rifle after equipping the attachments and getting a feel of the weapon.
"I guess, she is taking that rifle," Jin said and the rest looked at him with yet another awkward stare. "What?"
"Commanders are not supposed to enter the battlefield." The squad said in unison and that left Jin even more confused.
"I thought you said I carried a rifle just now?"
"Because you wanted to show that you are not wrong that there are, as I quote, 'just a few bastards hiding in the trees.' and look what happened to you." Diaz rebutted and the rest nodded their heads. "You should be glad that Yinn kept your pistol for safekeeping."
"Fine, then I will just grab a rifle off a dead body later." Jin tried to settle the Grey Bears down as he felt that giving the order to move out was already an ordeal. He did not need to make it even more complicated than the situation demands.
"Why are you so set on moving out?" Click queried and reinforced that the commanders should be out away from the battlefield. "That's the whole point for this safehouse here."
"Then how do I see the progress from the battlefield to give the orders if I am not there?" Jin asked and the squad once more could not believe the extent of his memory loss.
"Called up the System. You dumbass." Yinn said and she pointed at the side of her head. Jin followed her movements and noticed that there was a physical button at the side of his head as if it was implanted there since forever that it was embedded within his skin.
With a tap, a holographic console emerged in front of him showing the current status of his War Maidens as well as the map and the mission objectives. The War Maidens had been marked as pointers within the map and there was a visible fog of war beyond the safehouse's location.
"Give me a minute or two to study the…erm system once more," Jin said as he saw that there was a digital manual and the rest automatically picked up the available weapons while they went towards the wall to be plugged in.
That was when Jin realised that those life like realistic ladies were no doubt Mechanoids as he saw how they remove the side of their shirts to be wired to a wall mounted charger and be charged up.
