Konstantinov took the opening provided by Kira's distracted conversation with talking to Alex to discreetly rub his arm where she had punched him, hiding it with a look towards the break room where Sokolov was still getting himself a cup of hours old coffee. "That is the problem with all this, I think. And you may have to rethink your stance on monsters some day, Ms Pirozzi."
Kira nodded and held up the manual she was carrying for Alex to see the label; it was a compilation of manuals all on non-lethal weapons. "Personnel Halting and Stimulation Response Rifles. Pulsed Energy Projectiles. Long Range Acoustic Devices. I take care of the equipment that can be used to take these witches alive. But after that..."
She shrugged slightly, and jacked a thumb towards the room that would be used by the dedicated team medics and the locked cages of medicines. "I'd guess electro-shock maybe. Strap them down, wire them up. Anything weird starts happening, hold the button down till they give it a rest. And if it ain't a witch, well, that's where the conventional weapons come in."
Konstantinov shrugged in vague agreement, "Maybe a little extreme, Ms Zinoviya, but don't really have many other options at the moment."
"Well, until someone with a higher pay grade then us comes up with something better, I still say electrocute the bastards."
She shrugged and glanced at Alex, "I mean, until they do, you won't have a lot to work with."
The prospect of loosing one's job because of reasons outside of one's own control was something Kira could understand and commiserate with. She had been on the final months of her employment due to the loss of her leg; her contract had been extended just long enough for her to receive treatment and therapy for her recovery, and to learn new skills once she was out of the police. If you couldn't chase down a perp, you couldn't do your job. If Alex lost her job because she couldn't profile a witch because said witch was up to their eyeballs in drugs, well...it wouldn't exactly be fair.
