Yeah, thatโs rightโI fire silver needles from my palm. Custom tech, not some off-the-shelf gadget. Designed it myself because, letโs face it, traditional weapons are predictable. Predictability gets you killed. These needles? Fast, silent, precise. Like me. Coated in a special alloyโsilver core, hollow tips, adaptable for toxins if needed. They donโt just stop threats; they erase them.
Why silver? Because you never know whatโs out there. People, sureโbut sometimes itโs not just people. Iโve seen things thatโd make you question reality. Silver works on more than flesh, trust me.
The mechanismโs built into a reinforced gauntlet under my sleeveโpressure-triggered, no external tells. Perfect for when things go south fast. No fumbling, no hesitation. One flick of the wrist, and the problemโs solved.
Paranoid? Maybe. Prepared? Absolutely. Thatโs the difference between walking away from a job and getting carried out in a bag.
