Did you take all your Tools ?
It’s a bugger if you leave something behind.
Water, bullets, weapon systems, 24hr MRE's and whatever was in my belt kit.
They'd be back the next day to collect us.
Eh , I thought you were a Sparky. Should have taken small tools and a plug in Martindale at the very least.
With your stuff you could end up killing somebody.

An issued Omega that fires poison darts, turns into a super-magnet and the bezel can wizz around and cut ropes in case we get tied up.
If things really go to shit you pull out the crown and it's a hand grenade.

Standard issue, along with the Aston.

If something goes wrong as it hits the deck, the jet is now spread across a large area potentially leaving nowhere else for the others that are airborne (and quickly running out of petrol) to land.

Erm... "petrol"...? :wtf:

Yeah the horse would be a dead giveaway if he were a Chinook.

Feathered head dress is on point though.

Kind of like this one where he went to a school and got a lesson off the librarian.

Apparently the librarian had a disagreement with management and resigned in February, she left the books as a parting comment to the bosses. The management, showing their commitment, closed the library and no-one had used it until BJ's visit.
