You don’t gotta be a mechanic to know how a car runs or change the fuckin oil. Same applies.

[smugreport]

Yeah but 90% of weapons users don't know how something works beyond "pull trigger, gun shoots."

[ Rhys included, for the most part. Despite where he worked, the only weapon he'd ever wielded was a high voltage stun baton and all he knew about it's inner workings was that it did as advertised. Not that he'll admit to that...]

You wouldn't happen to have an instruction manual for it would you? Blue prints?

[rank1]

Pros know their tools.

And yeah, I keep it in my back pocket. The Navarch took the katana but not that! Real convenient, huh?

[smugreport]

....can I see?

[For a full 30 seconds, Travis imagines himself making one as a gag, and then is so satisfied with the mental image that he isn't going to bother.]

I'm yanking your chain. That shit doesn't come with a manual, I've only used custom ones for years.

[smugreport]

Oh.

[ He is genuinely disappointed. Cool factor aside, despite not being much of a weapons enthusiast when it comes to Atlas Rhys knows he's going to have to corner some section of the weapons market if he wants the company to be remotely successful... something like a "beam katana"? That's fresh.

That, and it could gain him the patronship of someone he can only hope to work with in the future. ]

There's no like, generic version on the market? I know someone back home who'd be interested, that's all.

Some hobbyists sell what they build, but nah, not much. Not a lot of people in the market for something that can take a limb off in seconds. It's always gonna be specialty.

[smugreport]

You’re just used to a weak market then. Every other bandit on Pandora would be chomping at the bit to own a laser sword.

[rank1]

No shit dude, where I'm from you're supposed to have a license and permit to have a fucking handgun, a beam katana is straight up illegal.

[smugreport]

Pft. You’re an idiot on Pandora if you don’t own at least a gun.

[ It’s him he’s idiot. ]

Say, y’think that the commissary will give you an accurate replica.

[ ok maybe there’s no reason for Travis to immediately agree to this, but wait till he hears Rhys’s amazing offer! ]

[rank1]

Of the outside, sure. Doubt it'll have the right guts. Who's paying for it?

[smugreport]

The description says “perfectly identical.” If it doesn’t have its inner workings that’s some false advertising.


I’ll foot the bill, I’ll even sweeten the deal! You a fan of pong?

[rank1]

I miss video games so much I’d take Pong in a heartbeat. Let’s get the fucking thing.
