Annabelle nods at Ryan's answer. "Thank you, I'll ask him when we get back." As AEon's aiming system Annabelle generally ended up with the more offensively oriented of Dixon's inventions, but she's not going to turn down something that reduces bullet holes. She hates convalescing.

To Dora she says somewhat sheepishly, "Sorry, pulse rifles. And I will stay away from the orbs."

Weird devices that disintegrate people, vastly outnumbered and fighting the good fight, it's just like home!

There is a certain amount of glee in Annabelle's scent at the mention of pulse rifles. Some people collect snow globes, Annabelle collects weapons.

As the dropships move in Annabelle moves to a defensible position and prepares to open fire.
