 +//OOC Note: You may be tempted to shrug off the effects of Taser-style weapons and continue roleplaying the scene as if the only thing that happened to you was being poked by a pair of barbed needles. I invite you to search YouTube for videos of US Marine Corps personnel being tased (for a single five-second jolt), and from there, advance the technology a couple hundred years. Tasers work.  Even on cyborgs (in fact, maybe even BETTER on cyborgs, depending on where impact occurs). If you doubt this, page a member of RP staff for an opinion. - Hagalaz//
