After meeting with the Senator he put the weapon down on the table and turned to the young woman, again offering his hand. "I feel like I know you from somewhere, have we worked together before?" When his wife and his daughter had died in Los Angeles, there were a lot of people there working for the Government; maybe she was one of them? His memory is hazy though; that whole week is in his mind. It was the most difficult part of his life, but now he was past it. Now he was going to hunt them.
"Oh, this." He laughed a little and put his hand on the gun for a moment. "No cause for alarm, Senator, its not loaded. Its a prototype though... I figured I would bring it along. I had a short briefing with the man that approved this operation and exactly what it would entail... I'm fully receptive of any ideas you may have, but just thought I'd bring my own along as well."
He fished around in his pockets before he sat down, setting out what looked like a large dart next to the gun. "This is a high caliber taser. Modifying the shotgun allows my team to be able to incapacitate specials from a further range. One of these darts delivers enough electricity to temporarily render the victim unconscious and ready for capture. There's about 50,000 volts in each dart and multiples can be fired if necessary. Its non-lethal force, as you'd asked, Senator Petrelli."
