Ok, in that case I'm going to have to edit my last post To take a gun.  Any word yet on how it cut through my suit?

Very sharp and powerful claws, plus those prison jumpsuits are designed for cheap manufacturing rather than defensive capabilities. For centuries the Alliance has used the tried-and-true method of letting prisoners gank each other to control overcrowding in their facilities.

There's a rack of standard-pattern shotguns to the left of the airlock, equipped with flechette round ammunition, along with side standard-issue service sidearms (automatic laser pistols with single or rapid-fire functionality.) I'm surprised no-one asked me about these earlier. :)
