Nikolai listened intently as the debate began. A defensive weapon of that magnitude needed to be handled carefully and effectively. Wessex brought up a valid concern. It was entirely possible that the device might be capable of harming Ascended. If so, being able to aim it was crucial. But timing would be a concern then.
Nikolai bit his lip, debating his options. Determination keeping his voice steady, he spoke up. [say]"I agree that it'd be best if the device could be activated by any Ascended. A two-step process to allow the user to aim it, is also a good idea. But if we do use that method, we need to make sure that both steps can be completed quickly. The last thing we want is for someone to activate it in the middle of conflict and then not be able to aim and fire."[/say]
An enemy could potentially step in and stop the second step after all.
