[quote=@Phoe]Nobody sees her move. First she's standing by the door with her arms folded over her chest, and then immediately after that she's grabbed Sara by the collar at the back of her neck and dragged her out of her chair. There's no filler frames. Snap, snap. She frowns, possibly unsure who to hit. She settles for ramming both their heads together with a satisfyingly dully clunk.

Then she yanks Sara back again and stands as straight and tall as she can manage, cracking her neck to hide how deep her blush is.

Funny. He's always been assured that being hit by a pretty girl is a good thing. Turns out, it just sucks.

So, right now Victor is riding high. Slightly less high, admittedly, than about thirty seconds ago, but he is full of plans, capitalism, and himself, in that order. If you wanted to get him back to normal, you'd need to deflate at least one of those things. Bringing in Bode would, I think, get through to him even in this state. I hope.

Or, I mean, he's a torso with a head and no limbs. Pummelling until he stops talking might not be the most rational way to deal with things, but it'd be fucking satisfying, wouldn't it? Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you just wanna go apeshit on this asshole?

[quote]-Is it possible to gag a man with his own nanite limbs?][/quote]

I mean.  Yes, technically? But if you look at the volume of mouth and the volume of four sets of limbs, it's really inadvisable. You're gonna burst his stomach before you even get started on the second leg. You might be able to shove just enough nanites into his mouth to jam it up, but then you're giving him tools. And then you have to keep his mouth shut somehow, and tape gags are never as effective as the serials make them look. Plus, the second you open that jar, at least some of the nanites are going to make a break for it and go cause problems somewhere else in the ship, force you to leave him alone.

All in all, a ballgag seems like it'd be simpler, and you and Sara could make a date of picking out one both of you like.

H'okay, so the biggest issue is Sabrem's gas. Did you grab her onto the ship after Errant disarmed her backpack? She'd know the best antidotes for the gas. Heck, even if she's not here, you have Bode and you have Locker. You're not exactly strapped for supergeniuses, is what I'm saying. You could probably even trick Victor into doing it himself, if you can figure out how to phrase spitting out the koolaid as being good for his quest to take over AEGIS. Phrase it as a challenge to his ego, and he'll bite.

As for the second part... are we talking immediate humiliation, or long-term, "show the grandkids uncle Brainstorm's epic freakout" kind of embarassment? Because the latter is a lot easier--you have a camera, and this is the stuff that home videos are made out of. You keep filming, and this is the sibling-blackmail material of the century. Streaming it doesn't seem like it'd be all that effective--he's in full-on CEO mode, and bad publicity is just a matter of the right spin doctors.

But if you want to be really nasty? You're a lot more in touch with how people think, so you know he's got it bad for Locker already, even if he doesn't. Bring him in here, and he's gonna be a lot more reluctant to act out, lot more blushy and stammery.

(And then you film it, because those grandchildren also want to hear the story about how Uncle Vic met Uncle Tor, and that's blackmail material almost as good as what you already have.)
