002 ↔ video
[Saul's not a fan of using video on this thing. Anyone could be watching, and he's sure that's the case — which means he's about to show a hand of cards he never really wanted to — but he also knows he needs to come across as sincere and non-threatening as possible if he wants this request to be taken seriously. Text wouldn't work, voice... might, but also might not.
He still has his doubts, though. What he's about to do is ridiculous, even by his own standards. He'd laugh at anyone else making a suggestion like this, and he's half-tempted to laugh at himself, too, but when the feed clicks on and his image appears, he's all business. Literally: in a suit, at a desk, weapon laid out (for those who'd notice, the weapon is disengaged, the safety on; he's learning!), hands folded.]
This — [indicating the weapon, then lacing his fingers back together] — is a shotgun that's been modified to use non-lethal electrified bullets. The charge measures about 500 volts, and —
[There go his hands again, moving to retrieve one of the cartridges. He lifts it to the lens, waits for it to focus, then continues speaking.]
From what I understand, that should be enough to temporarily incapacitate a normal human being. But the problem is, I'm not sure. I've been using blanks on the dummies over in the Hold, so I have no idea what effect one of these things would actually have on a living, breathing person. So...
[He trails off, lowers the cartridge, and shifts uncomfortably in his chair.]
I realize how unorthodox and just plain sketchy a request like this is going to sound, but... who's willing to let me shoot them, and who's willing to be the medic present if-slash-when this happens? I'm looking for someone over eighteen, healthy, preferably human. I can compensate you with fifty doll—uh. Marques. Or we can negotiate, if necessary.
Serious inquiries only. Thanks.

[ Like a guy who thinks 'Kitchen' is an awesome name for a ninja. ]
Better make sure they have a medic on hand just in case you break a rib with that.
no subject
I already have a doctor who's agreed to help out. Anyway, the shot's not powerful enough to break any bones. That's not the point.

Ribs are a lot easier to break than people think they are. You hit them at the right angle, or you get someone who has thin bones and then you'll have problems. I knew people that broke them just by leaning against a counter the wrong way when picking up a slop bucket.

I'm pretty sure that they didn't put a charge in those things that would fry a person. It's not big enough.

Unless this guy is like what's-his-face. Damian.]
I hope you're right about that.
no subject
I'm sure of it.

No wonder Saul's not a fan.]
Good for you. I'll let you know if I break any ribs, okay?
no subject
Sounds fair to me.
