How the hell is that nonlethal?

Ahaha! Taylor and I are on the same page here.

I hurried over to the door, and both Imp and Regent backed away to let me fire.  I pulled the trigger… nothing.

…welp. I guess it’s out of fuel or something. Or maybe Imp and/or Regent are still too close and it’s nonlethal by way of not letting you fire if it detects people in the way?

“He took the power and fuel supply from that to use for something else, put crap components in there instead!  Let it recharge!” Tattletale shouted across the room, “Almost one minute before you can shoot again!”

Ah. Well, at least it can recharge, even if it’s too slow for their current purposes.

Fuck.

Dragon would have overheard that, but she didn’t comment.

It seems she was thoroughly silenced by the Dragonslayer sting, for now.

Instead, a sprinkler system kicked into gear, misting down from the ceiling.  Though the quantity of water was low, the effect on the burning chair was immediate, and the flames disappeared with surprising quickness.  What little of the moisture soaked into my mask tasted faintly bitter.

…I suppose that was to be expected.

So is the bitterness tied to the flames disappearing so quickly? Does the PRT have a tinker chemist?
