Play the A-Team theme as they raid the barn for gear?

I would imagine it was more fitting as they raided the armory for guns.

Then again it was an Ukrainian and two Russians doing the raiding, so you may have Boris put some sick hardbass on the truck's radio... Pretty much a roll of the dice.

This chapter (and the next one) will be a bit less entertaining with the lack in action, but I felt it was needed to set the scene for the next arc that's coming in two chapters. Large scale action and "big stuff" loses its meaning if you don't build up to it. At least that's the way I see it.

I agree with your statement, as the journey described in “The Hobbit, or There and Back Again” by English author J. R. R. Tolkien would not have been as interesting without a lengthy description of the Shire and of everyday lives of the Hobbits. The hardships and dangers of traveling on a dangerous path become that much more emotional, if you first read about the comfortable, idealistic, and safe lives of the Shire Hobbits. If the Hobbits have lived out their lives taking for granted second breakfast, then the meager meals eaten in a mountain pass seem that much more meager, while the dangers that much more dangerous.

Vadim: “I wish our ship had come back remade as the starship Voyager from Star Trek. That way, all I would have to do is activate the Emergency Medical Holographic program and most of our medical problems would be solved.”

Geert: “If you could make that happened, could you make the entire crew return as Klingons?”

Vadim: “If I find a way to make it so, I will make it so, Number Four.”

Geert: “That's more of a Codename Kids Next Door reference than a Star Trek reference.”

Vadim: “I’m an emergency medic, not a professional comedian.”

So for all of you who either dont understand or cant be bother understanding, in a nutshell,

The ship-safezone.

Outside and away from ship-Danger,
danger as in, you dont know who, or now, What. Is lying in wait around the corner.

Its literally now a survival situation, the risk of a crewmember peeking around the corner holds equal risk to that of a soldier doing so Stalingrad in WW2, you need to look around the corner, but if you do, you could have your head taken off at a thousand yards by some sniper or wannabie rifleman.
Or you could just peek the corner and come face to face with more timberwolves or worse, then promptly loose your face...

Either way, loving this story so far!
