The officer's lips twitch into something that looks more like a sneer than a smile. "Of course," he agrees, reaching for the strap device on his own wrist to press a button. The immediate effects are ... unnoticeable, actually, but what he says next does send a chill down Jackson's spine. "And now that I've dampened your -- what was it? -- anti-violence field, I'm sure you'll give up this foolish posturing. You are outnumbered, telepath or not."
