Quote: Quote: The dispatch center was a small glass enclosed room with a single door, that looked like a radio station’s broadcast booth. It was stocked with a rack of police scanners, and a few computers that monitored various things. And then, of course, a headset and radio were used to contact the team members. One of the team members was in there, wearing the headset around her neck and watching the computer screens. Quote: Not Danny Devito, then...Or even Robin Williams. Quote: Quote: “The gun he’s using is some sort of gauss gun he invented,â€Â Rapture briefed her. “It pretty much electrocutes someone to death. The cops didn’t know what to do to stop it, so they called us.†Quote: Nitpick: You are describing a Taser rather than a Gauss Gun. A Gauss Gun uses a magnetic field to accelerate a projectile (hence the name - Gauss is an old metric for magnetic field strength/flux density - named after Carl Friedrich Gauss)That information came from the police radio, and we never really see how (or if) the gun works in real time. Fortunately that means its relevance is limited. If they were chatting in a high-tech testing laboratory, instead, I'd go and fix it for the sake of accuracy.  | |||||||
