But you make pretty quick work of the things anyway with your...weapons. [ Weapons that confuse him. ] I think we can manage without the EMP. As long as others are helping elsewhere on the ship, we should be able to get rid of these things with a little work. ...Or a lot.
[ The EMP would be faster. But even if there were no AIs nearby in danger of the pulse, Wash would be worried about the ship and its systems. For all he knows, it could cause serious damage, weak pulse or not, and he doesn't want that. It's. Probably just better to do this by hand. ]
