Tobias leads you as well as 27 other rookies into the armory.
"Listen up. Our first mission is to reach Scout Regiment headquarters. We'll be doing so on horseback. All of you will be given the maneuvering device, and two Titan-killing swords. As you all know, the maneuvering device is a complex piece of equipment using gas-powered grappling hooks to allow you to move freely through the air, provided there are surfaces for you to attach to. And of course, these Titan-killing swords are extremely sharp, so that they can penetrate the hard skin of Titans. They, however, lose their necessary levels of sharpness after a few hits. As you all know, the blades are detachable, and can be replaced easily, as you will have several replaceable blades. For safety reasons, you are only allowed to carry one additional piece of equipment. However, you ought to take two, as your horse can carry the second piece of equipment in its saddlebags."
He cleared his throat before continuing.
"These are your options for auxiliary equipment."
He held up a gas tank. "Additional gas to fuel the Maneuvering Device."
He held up an extra pack of blades. "More blades for your swords."
He held up a rifle. "This won't kill a Titan, but it can blind smaller ones. It obviously also works on humans, too, so all of you had better follow my orders or I will personally guarantee your last meal will be hot lead."
There was a silence.
"That was a joke...Moving on."
He held up a torch. "As you know, Titans are exponentially less active during the night. Most of our expeditions are at night. Torches are not necessary, but if you want one, it will improve your visibility significantly."
He held up a flare gun. "These flare guns are used as signals for communication. They're very handy in a pinch."
"Now, one at a time, go up to inventory with your two auxiliary pieces of equipment. Make sure to indicate which piece of equipment will be kept in your saddlebags and which will not- we have had cases of smuggling in the past, so saddlebags are routinely checked."
EQUIPMENT TIME!
Example as to how you check out auxiliary equipment:
"My name is [first name here]. I'm carrying [first auxiliary]. My horse is carrying [second auxiliary]."
MEANWHILE
Sean twiddled his thumbs, looking around at the 3 other rookies still at the table. "So...Nice weather lately."
