>>53 Dove, you're right about that. I was trying to convey that Engie went about play with the captive the way he would in testing the specs of a new system.

Given her current structural fragility (Medic's been tweaking his pet project for quite a while), fisting would do real damage, let alone if he used the Gunslinger. Also, some of my self indulgent wordplay wank, translated: critère de Griffith (French) - Griffith's Criterion, a seminal equation in stress mechanics, predicting fracture propagation in brittle materials. I thought it was appropriate for Solly.
