I'll take your advice on this one. Ares will only use the Barrett when he needs heavier fire power. His main sniper weapon will be a Knight's Armament SR-25 fitted with a suppressor, Harris bipod, PRS Stock, and Eclan DigitalHunter scope. I thought you guys would be upset with a woman being a mercenary.

I have no objection to woman killing men, as long as the man is not me. As a mercenary? Why not? Besides, you can always have her go into town first to check things out. One woman is less suspicious than a half-dozen guys with lots of stuff.

BTW, should'n' somebody have a machine gun? FN MAG, PKM, Minimi Para, somthing like that? On Second though, How about an Ultimax? It's South African (I think, or is it from Singapore?), light, and takes 100-round drums.

maybe a lmg mounted on the boat. How will the boat be decked out anyway, being the place they live?

The boat is a Namacurra class patrol boat called the Nostromo. It's main support weapons are two Vektor SS-77 machine guns and a Browning M2. A few of the rooms have been redesigned to serve as private quarters for the mercs.

Describing the rooms may give the characters a little depth

Yeah, I agree. A person's bedroom is probably the most personal place a person can have, so how it's arranged can be very telling of a person's personality.

But then again, if you saw how unorganized my room is, you'd think I wouldn't be able to keep track of my head if it wasn't screwed on when, in fact, I know where every needle in my haystack is.

Now where's the TV remote....?

My room is the same. What's Katie like? I can imagine the guys, but what's she like? A good-looking Laura Croft type, who thinks it's cool or exiting? An unatractive, looks-like-a-braniac-but-has-the skills of Jason Bourne? An angry-at-the-world killer? I'm curious. What movie character would you compare her too?

I've been there, buddy. Anyway, I'll describe Greg's bedroom:

When entering, on the right side is a bed with a cast iron bed frame and a quilt in place of a blanket. Underneath the bed is a trunk filled with the following items: a bottle of dark rum (Greg mentions he got it imported from Panama), a carton of Marlboro Red Label 100's, a copy of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, a box of .45 hollowpoints, and a Springfield Ultra Compact fitted with Hogue grips (his spare gun, which he later gives to Katie as a gift). On the left side of the room his a beated up dresser where he keeps his clothes. On top of the dresser is a cassette player. He listens to Jefferson Airplane, Joe Cocker, Bob Dylan, Wings, and Plastic Ono Band. In the middle of the room is a fine desk made of cherry wood and a metal folding chair at it. On top of the desk is his cleaning kit for his .45.
