Drokk it. Rico thinks, with significantly more feeling than the first time. The council? Oh this was so much worse than he'd first thought. He's going to have to be on his best behavior, isn't he?
"I thought you only had ten years on the streets?"
He's careful to keep the tone polite as he takes the gun carefully, keeping his hands well away from the palm sensors, thank you very much. He'll have to figure out how to disable that, if he can. Technically that knowledge for the Mark I was only available to Senior Judges, but Rico had his ways. He listens to Beeny's explanation of all the new and improved features with an attentive ear, only interrupting to mutter things like "that would've been helpful during the Bigs case", and some things a little quieter, such as "ricochets are perfectly useful if you know how to use them right".
Like, for example, shooting it at just the right angle in-between a perp's ribs for some non-lethal, but agonizing fun. It was a bit of a favorite of his, and there was something he liked about the skill it took to use them. He runs his finger over the solid lines and construction of the Mark II. There was still something he preferred about the Mark I, the way his thumb could flick through all his options to decide a person's life. He smirks a bit at the face Beeny pulls, though. That was a good sign. At least she wasn't a completely humorless lawbook on legs.
"I'll see about getting some upgrades then. Would've expected more for almost sixty years, though. Tek's getting lazy."
no prob
