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.

Of course! Now, if you're interested in deepening your understanding of your weapon, I can help you by offering a consistent training regiment... [no, run]

Involving...?

Well, there's strength training which can bolster the accuracy of your weapon and your endurance in firing it! Plus, I can show you exercises to help you better aim it and-- [And then Coby just sort of talked through a whole instructional manual of things one could do to improve their lives with rifles and lifting weights.]

...is what he would have said if he were under the influence of an alien mind-control device. Since that's thankfully not the case, he stares at the screen with a thoroughly unamused expression before responding, very simply:]
No.

...Was I babbling?

[Saul rubs the bridge of his nose.]
I'm not really in the market for a personal trainer.
no subject
Well--alright... I suppose I may have gone overboard...
Are you still willing to take me as a candidate?
no subject
Of course. Dr. Cullen should be in touch with you soon.
no subject
That's good! I'll try and be of valuable help to you, sir!
no subject
Great. Thanks, Coby.
