I will not hesitate if it's necessary.

@Armed Forces

Very well.
*A static waveform bursts across one of the screens*
It seems the analysis is complete.
*Taps a console, and a detailed mockup of Elizabeth's body, organs, skeletal system, nervous system, and circulatory system are strewn out across the screen*
It appears that the primary difficulty associated with any maneuver lies in attacking blood that it etched itself into her various body systems. That has the potential to begin the infection process anew.

I agree. Better to keep him on call in the event things go wrong, though.

@Armed Forces

I agree. Please inform me if you would prefer I notify him at any point.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

He's a bit too invested in what's at stake.

@Armed Forces

I agree; he would likely become a liability. Hence your role.

More of an expert than anyone else. Good enough for me.

@Armed Forces

I can also summon Legend as needed, but I fear he may complicate the case.

*Slides the weapon into my holster*
Sounds like you've become quite the expert since I left her in your hands.

@Armed Forces

I wish that were the case. We know enough.

So it’ll basically allow the weapon to have an effect. Because I don’t believe that it would have before.

@Armed Forces

Negligible. The fact that it hasn't fully commandeered her biological systems is encouraging, and indicates that it will likely be more effective on Elizabeth than it would be on Crona.

How specific and handy.
*Takes it from the chamber and looks it over*

@Armed Forces

I've discovered that the black blood is extremely reactive to foreign objects, enabling it to dynamically change its consistency when in different states. If you turn on the resonator mode with the small switch on top, it will allow projectiles it shoots to respond inversely to those reactions and utilize the black blood's nature against itself.

Might I ask what the purpose is?

@Armed Forces

Enabling the same technique you witnessed in the chamber; I've dubbed it inverse resonance. It happens to be quite adequate at disabling the potency of black blood.
*The whirring stop and the chamber opens again, revealing the gun with an additional attachment on the barrel*

*A sidearm materializes in the empty holster at my side, and I pull it out, twirl it around, and offer it to you handle-first*

@Armed Forces

*Takes it and places it into the cylinder of a machine that levitates the firearm in the center*
It will only be a moment.
*A cover slides over the machine as it begins to whir*

I’m a firearms kind of guy. I’ve got no problem using whatever is on hand, though, or more preferable in a given situation.

@Armed Forces

Do you possess a firearm you would be willing to modify? Or shall I provide one?
