Aren grinned at the two women, and laughed slightly. "If you want to see a potent energy weapon, you need to ssee the plasma mortar I've been tinkering with in the hangar," he said proudly. "Assuming it works right, it'll take out multiple hostile targets at once, splintering the energy into however many parts it needs. Of course, it can also make what I like to call a BFE, or Big Fuckin' Explosion. If you want, I can try it out later tonight for you guys." He grinned, and turned, opting to fire with his sidearm, the weapon he was more skilled at firing. Popping off several rounds, he pushed a button to bring the target in to be viewed. A smiley pattern could be seen from the bullet's hitting their mark.
