Aston and his men initially assumed that Kisha and her people, despite their intimidating appearance, would be easy to get along with. They were even planning to share all their supplies so that no one in the team would go hungry. In contrast, Aston's team had very limited provisions, as they had exhausted their allocated supplies and the Minister of Defense was blocking any attempts to obtain more from the warehouse.
Aston's men cheerfully helped Kisha and her group load the supplies onto the truck. Despite there being only ten of them, they brought along a large military truck—the only vehicle Aston could secure. Their ammunition was scarce, and the firearms were outdated and noisy. However, Aston preferred having these old models over going unarmed.
