[Arden]
Not quite feeling the same with his borrowed rifle, he heads back to his
quarters to gather a few pieces of his personal armament (Not limited to his
lucky .30-06 and his own energy rifle), as well as his armor.

Following the 'crash course' of the VTOL, he starts looking around for a way
down to the surface to assist and guard the survivors. If there is no easy
way, he grabs a hold of the nearest crewman and asks, "What can I do to
help?"
