-Oh hey it's a gun range! Or at least a reasonable holographic facsimile thereof. Maya has set up the ECHO's camera on a shelf behind her and moves to stand behind a table with five guns on it.-

So, everyone else I met during that thing with the space bikers... yeah, that thing... anyways, everyone I met seemed kind of amazed by the gear me and the other Vault Hunters were carrying around, so I thought I'd give a demonstration of some of my inventory. I'm not opposed to loaning them out if it's really needed, but I think we should probably know what everyone is capable of, in general.

-She picks up the first gun, a pistol.-

This is the Dahl Corporation's "Dahlminator". It was never mass produced as the only ones ever made were left behind in the Caustic Caverns when Dahl left Pandora. This is one of a few in existence, never to be replicated, largely because the caustic elemental charges it uses... -She opens up the chamber to demonstrate the glowing green core.- ...were manufactured from the acid lakes in the caverns themselves. You could make another gun like it, but it will never be exactly the same, or as effective.

Now, this gun is what we call a "dart" E-tech gun, meaning instead of physical bullets, it fires energy darts. But the Dahlminator's are special. Watch.

-Maya points the gun right at the camera, firing a short burst... Three slow moving swirling blips of energy move out from the barrel, sure, but their velocity is considerably drawn back, and to top it off, they move AROUND Maya to hit the mounted target behind her.-

Homing bullets. -The target proceeds to melt in a cloud of acid produced by the bullets then exploding.- With a timed discharge.


I've got four more guns here. -She gestures to each gun with a sweep of her hand.- Pick one, and I'll show it off. I have more, too.

[Nothing more beautiful than the sound of those words.] Can't imagine you're doing all this out of the generosity of your heart. What are you hoping to get in exchange?

[blight_phoenix]

Confession? It's advertisement. My friends and I are mercenaries, and we figure people are more inclined to pay us to use these guns than pay to use them themselves without training. Especially since the latter would be more expensive.

[totallytrustworthy]

Mercenaries. Charming. [It isn't sarcasm: she means it. There's no better place for a pack of weaponry professionals to be roaming about in her mind-- at least not when they're willing to share their supply with someone in need.] Sorry to tell you that I'm a touch more of the latter than the former, but you never know. It's a war out there, after all.

The way I've always looked at it, you can either have a really good gun, or you can have that AND a friend with a really good gun. You're going to accomplish a lot more with numbers than with strength alone. That's why we Vault Hunters work as a team.

Oddly enough in my line of work I've found the opposite to be true. [Which-- well, honestly, it's only half a lie: the range of backstabbing thieves and conmen sits somewhere in the high percentages, but there's nothing she values more than the few that've had her back.

Still, selling that charming slice of noble chatter won't make this process go any smoother, and Chloe's a touch too smart to go shooting herself in the foot.] So unless you and your mates are offering me a shiny new honorary mercenary badge I'll set my offer at a promise to call on you sometime in the future when things are more than a little dodgy.

[blight_phoenix]

Hey, works for us. In the meantime, I'll let you at least get a free trial on these guns if you're willing to head down to the range.

[totallytrustworthy]

Sweet. I'll be there soon, then, darling. Try not to give away the good inventory before I get there.

[blight_phoenix]

Nothing leaves this range unless it's on my ECHO device.

[totallytrustworthy]

And I will gladly hold you to that.

[blight_phoenix]

See you soon, then. Or whenever, at least.
