Jonathon quickly checked his weapons as the officials prepared to release the bogey. Three shots of stun ammo in his Roomsweeper clip, holstered at his right thigh. The Roomsweeper was a shotgun with a short black barrel and almost no stock, outfitted with a smartlink interface and great for doing stun damage to a wide area. A standard-issue mace made from high-impact plastic and densiplast hung from the stripped frame of the Suzuki. In his hand, he held a polycarb filament whip. With a two-meter-reach and a wicked snap, the whip was his weapon of choice—delicate, tactile, and at the same time, deadly.
