After the plasma spear ripped through the air and subsequently through everything that was in its path, Raiya let out a small puff of exasperation. She looked at the path of carnage in aw, which picked her mood up a little bit from the failures she had suffered throughout this mission as a whole. [color=ec008c]"If I had been half of a second too early or too late in pulling the trigger, the cartridge would have blown the gun to pieces and probably have taken my hand with it... It's a prototype to say the least, and it isn't exactly something I can use reliably in combat."[/color] Raiya explained, [color=ec008c]"I'm just surprised it worked at all. I had only ever tested it in precise mechanical conditions. This is the first time i have ever used that technique on the field. And probably the last time until I can work out an effective method of containing the magical energy in the cartridge." [/color] Raiya continued, [color=ec008c]"Silver was the only metal so far that i have had relative success without the cartridge blowing up right away. But without access to mithril, or sacred silver I probably wont be making any leaps forward with this technique." "[/color] Raiya finished.

	[color=ec008c]"Well? Now do we head for the bridge and confront the captain?"[/color] Raiya asked as she bent down to pick up the spent cartridge from the plasma spear she just fired. Those cartridges were difficult for Raiya to make in large quantities so any that survived the actual firing process were invaluable.
