Val walked into the room, the doors sliding open to admit him in the middle of the conversation about the rifle.  He nodded to both of the men present and moved to the equipment bay standard in the room.  After they had finished talking, looking at Tosh, "If you are going to ask me the same, I would prefer a rifle but..."<br/><br/>He opened the standard equipment bay in the side compartment of the transporter room, and pulled out two Type 1 phasers, slipping one in his boot and the other in his pocket.  "I don't expect anything, I just learned a long time ago to have a backup weapon or two, even if low powered."  He also grabbed a ((If Lugus doesn't have one,  he grabs two)) Tricorder from the locker and slips it in his pocket.<br/><br/>Moving back toward Lugus and Tosh, ((and hands Lugus a tricorder if Lugus doesn't have one)) he reached out for a compression rifle.<br/><br/>"As Lt. Luguns said, this could be a dangerous situation."  He nodded a respectful nod to his superior, "Sir."
