Bossy [Closed]

[gogopowersuit.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it was sort of unnecessary for Samus to call Chief into her office, but in all honesty she preferred to speak in person. She was never quite sure of the security of it, so even when she was passing along completely unclassified information, habit forced her to request a meeting in person.

She waited at her desk, Chief wouldn't take more than a few seconds to arrive, considering where he was coming from anyway. She has something to show him anyway. On her desk was a rather obvious set up of conventional firearms, ranging from simple pistols to rifles. Each one was marked with an orange stripe. At the end of the row was a remote. Its purpose remained unknown to a casual observer.

Though she didn't want to draw attention to it, the observant viewer would realize that there was a new photo frame on her desk. She frowned at it and picked it up, looking for another place to put it.

The Chief walks into Samus's office and immediately notes the small arsenal lying across the desk.

"What is all this?" he asks, eyeing the gun pile and the remote. They have no clear purpose that he can discern, especially the remote.

Samus immediately sets down the frame, perhaps drawing more attention to it that she would have if she left it alone. She pretends not to care, though (which is a fairly easy feat for her), and greets the Chief with a nod.

"These," she picks up the rifle at the end of her desk, "are security's newest toys. I had them commissioned for the firearm training sessions."

"What do they do?" he asks.

Well, orange markers. Training. That gives him some inkling. In the meantime, he glances at the frame. Huh, he hadn't though Samus would be one to decorate. He wonders what's in it, but it's not a major curiosity. Most of his attention's on the alleged new toys.

"Take a look. Take one apart if you want." she holds it out for him to take. The most noticeable difference (besides the orange) is that these seem to lack bullets. Instead, there is some sort of mechanism on the inside. It's purpose isn't clear. "Had to make sure that they wouldn't accidentally get mixed in with any real weapons. They're completely non-lethal. I almost went with paint guns, but I think these will work better."

She seems almost excited about this. Except for the fact that she hasn't explained what they do yet.

The Chief expertly has one of the rifles apart in moments. Stripping guns is second nature. He examines it, then puts it back together.

"What happens when I fire it?"

"Your target is frozen. Partially or completely depending on where you hit."

[prettycoolguy]

"Beats trying to find stun rounds." He has to wonder if this stings, he was trained on paint guns and rubber stun pellets that left welts that could last a week.

"And the remote?"

He can guess, though. He has no idea how this works, but he approves.

She nods. She has a small stock of paint guns, but she figures she best get the true newbies used to handling them before she gives them something that can hurt.

She picks up the remote, "Unfreezes them. This one only works one target at a time, though. The new remote is with the rest of the guns I had commissioned. They need to be picked up from engineering."

[prettycoolguy]

Oh. Oh. He knows where this is going. He knew she was going to send him somewhere. He totally called it.

"In that case, I'll spare your window," he says. He'll go get this over with. Samus is boss, and if the boss wants him to tote things he'll do it.

The Chief heads off to retrieve the other guns from Engineering.
