Draiss was working on a better noise suppression system for the standard beam rifles, leaning against Gaven in the common room. He looked up, and shrugged. "Unless I am going to get more details, I have no intention of even beginning the activation sequence for those things. Since it takes a full day or two to come online and initiate, I just have to avoid pushing the big red button."<br/><br/>He set aside the beam rifle, grinning as Halion looked up from her scroll, trying to puzzle out the basic runes on it, staring at the construct, and then returning to it. "As I was saying, unless I know more about the situation that you spoke of, I will have to respond as am able. The only preparations I have so far taken is improved security at all important locations, but other than that, I have no indication of what might require that kind of response."
