#WritingWonders July 10: MC POV: In a fight, what is your weapon of choice?
"Reason. And authority - the proper kind, the kind that comes from competence and respect, not brute intimidation.
"Or cunning, which will do if that fails. I have this trick with the station autodrags - killing the motors for a couple of seconds will flip a handguide rider into mid-air, which isn't dignified, but won't hurt them and then it's all over but the pickup.

"I do have my service pistol, a latest-model Pacifier. The design's elegant - an electrolaser stunner with a minimal-burn expert system on top with tangler and sniffer-perfume glob launchers integrated with the core mass driver. Not something I'd choose, though; every time I draw it in the field, it means a better plan failed."
