A Trail Through Time (The Chronicles of St Mary's)
“Team Markham assembled at the foot of the stairs, behind the big barricade. We checked each other over, tightening straps and slapping helmets. Mrs Partridge stacked her spare ammo. I inspected my weapons – two 9 mm semi-automatics taking 30 round clips, and a wide beam blaster, fully charged. Never having envisaged a situation where all of St Mary’s would be in the firing line, Major Guthrie didn’t have enough equipment for everyone and priority, obviously, went to the Security section. I had some armour and a helmet, but no night vision.
I stood at the foot of the stairs, got my bearings, and noted who was where. I verified my allocated target areas and the range. Beside me, Peterson was making sure his weapons pulled free from his sticky patches without snagging or catching on anything.

Then we waited.
