[ The showing off pays off. Wash is thoroughly impressed with the program's skills, as he finds himself watching the actions of the other just a little more than focusing on the scraplets. He approves highly of what he sees, and kind of wonders, just for a brief moment, how this guy would stand up in a battle against Carolina or Texas.
When the other comes to a land and tilts his head in obvious question, Wash swallows hard and goes back to focusing on the bugs. He takes three successive shots, taking out three of the scraplets in the middle of trying to flee in the opposite direction of the two of them. Then two more shots fire at the floor, taking out two more of the bugs that were making a beeline for the feet of his armour. Only then does he glance back at Rinzler (hesitantly) and give a kind of non-committal shrug. ]
I, uh. An EMP is an Electromagnetic Pulse. In case you didn't know. And it tends to...you know, shut down any machinery and anything electronic within its range.
[ FIDDLING AWKWARDLY WITH HIS PISTOL NOW, NOT LOOKING AT RINZLER. ]
It'd destroy any AI--or Program--within range. And, uhm. Considering you're right here... [ He trails off there, clearing his throat and glancing around quickly for more scraplets to shoot at. ] ...It might destroy the bugs, but I wouldn't want to use it around anyone else who'd be affected by it, too.
