"No problem. I'll show you."<br/><br/>He went up to stand directly beside her. "First things first, as you probably know, stance. This gun doesn't have a single, sudden kickback like a regular rifle. Soon as you hold the trigger you can feel a small wind-up and then sustained pushback as it generates the energy stream. When you let the trigger go, the pushback disappears again and the energy you directed at your target blasts apart. So you want to assume a stance that grounds you against ongoing pressure, like this." The soldier showed her with his body, setting his legs slightly apart braced against the ground, pretending to hold the Cannon in his hands with his eyes to the scope, finger at the trigger and other hand supporting the barrel. "Its wind-up actually makes it easier for you to adjust than a regular rifle."<br/><br/>John gave her some time to assume a similar stance based on what he showed by eye, before moving to stand behind her and making small adjustments. "Looking good," he nodded. "Alright, look through the scope and choose your target. You can zoom in or out using these controls..." the man explained as he put his hand on hers and brought her trigger hand up to two of the buttons on the side of the scope.<br/>"... and use these controls to select either only the spot where you're aiming, or the entirety of the object you're looking at," he continued as he brought her hand to another pair of buttons, before letting her get accustomed to zooming in and out using the scope, and selecting only the area exactly between the crosshairs, or selecting the whole object she was looking at - which gave the whole tank a yellow-ish overlay and outline in the scope view.<br/><br/>"Based on your selection - spot between crosshairs or the entire object, it will automatically set up the energy projection to be either concentrated, or to be locked on to hit the whole thing. And then it's just a matter of setting up how hard you want to hit. In the case of this tank, that means: do you want to try to dent or blow open a spot in that armor, or do you want to blow the whole tank back? That's what the dial on the side of the rifle is for."<br/>He brought her hand to the dial on the side, and turned it all the way down to the lowest setting. "That's 1. Just enough to knock someone back." With each additional number up, she would be able to feel a brief click in the dial, all the way to... "12. That'll about blast apart a building. Let's not go that far," he said with a soft laugh. He set it back to a cool 5.<br/><br/>"Five is about enough to dent the armor of that tank, maybe break it open if it's already weakened. So." He went over the steps once again, going easy for a beginner. "Choose where on that tank you want to make a dent. Target only between the crosshairs, so make sure the whole tank isn't selected. The right strength of the shot, I already set up using the dial. Now, when you're ready, hold the trigger to briefly let the energy wind up and you'll feel a sligh pushback from the rifle. Then let go of the trigger to make that dent in the armor."<br/>He waited a few moments, checking as she went through the steps and making sure everything was perfectly in order. "I'll steady you just in case," he told her as he supported her upper back with his bionic arm and put his other on her hip. "When you feel you're ready, you're cleared to fire."<br/><br/><br/><div style="text-align: center"><div class="bbImageWrapper lazyload js-lbImage" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-single-image="1" data-src="/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi56.photozi.com%2Fimages%2F9w9lN.png&amp;hash=ed0e2b26933e967cc9dcb08047c9f928" title="9w9lN.png">

He wasn't quite sure if it was mixed well either, but he didn't want to inspect it too closely right in front of the gift-giver. "Thanks, I appreciate it," he told him with a smile. It did make sense that, even if he could heal others, he should still keep himself in good health.<br/><br/>It was interesting to think Dawn also considered it impossible that she was dead. He had to wonder if she was dead, or if maybe also people who didn't or couldn't die, could somehow end up here.<br/><br/>Galen’s eyes widened a bit when Dawn suddenly kissed Sephiroth, before his mouth fell open as  she suddenly turned into a man while they moved to the screening of Freddie’s... moving pictures, as Sephiroth had explained. When they sat down and Don turned back into Dawn, the healer couldn’t pay much attention to the movie. Leaning in to the paladin, he whispered. “Excuse me, but... you can change your body? From a beautiful lady to a handsome man? Talk about the best of both worlds...”
