Regaining some of her composure Ariea switches back to basic and says. "Last time you gave me a gift i was carried out of my office on bastion by my belt.  Excuse me Colonel if i dont readily trust your gifts right off the bat."  When the Jedi walks in the room she lowers the Carbine from aimed at Soljaks head to merely being aimed at his chest.  <em>Well this is some first impression ive given to the new jedi.</em> she laughs to herself as that idea comes to her head.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The Colonel laughs at Areia,<strong>"Always the cautious one girl, relax they are legitimate gifts.  And Shaa Raa if you want to know the story.  Impress me and you will get to know.  I will tell you, the whole incident was all good and fun.  No malice or ill-will involved so you can ease up on that bit."</strong><br/><br/>He is about to speak when the talk of stun weapons occurs and then he listens while the new Jedi comes in, and discussions of cake and other banter occur once more.  He clears his throat and starts to open one of the cases near him.  Inside are several discus that fit in the palm of your hand, they are gunmetal in color and have a red button and a transceiver on them.  He tosses several of them to the people.<br/><br/><strong>"Yes, stun shots are slower, and have a wider arc that is why I am giving you these.  They are a training implement meant to suppress the rounds of your weapons while still making whoever you are shooting feel the shot without necessarily killing them.  The most you will feel is a sharp intense pain and that will indicate that you are hit.  The point is, I want you to be able to use the gear you have on you since that is what makes you feel comfortable without necessarily killing anyone.  Can't do anything to prevent melee damage, but those that do know how fight with those sort of weapons I am certain you know how to throw your punches."</strong><br/><br/>He hands a couple cases to them and waits for them to equip the items on their blasters.
