Flood: Every dog has its day, operative, and this might just be yours. We've managed to produce enough flit guns to hand them out even to mere humans such as yourself. While a gnat like you can have no realistic hope of defeating a program as powerful as the Assassin, you ought to be able to take a fly or two off him with the flit gun before he slaughters you. Won't that be wonderful? Proceed to the distribution center and collect your weapon.

Operator: You've reached the distro center. Find Tube and request your flit gun.

Blood Noble: I don't see what's so bad about the Assassin. Death! Decay! Stench! Ah, it's fabulous!

Blood Noble: The Merovingian has decided that the Assassin is bad for business--too much of a distraction.

Tube: Nicks? Very well. We'll upload a flit gun to you when you leave the area. Make sure that you have at least one slot free in your inventory, or you won't receive your weapon.

Operator: I'm receiving a data upload from Zion. I'll pass it on to you as soon as you leave the area, but make sure that you've got an inventory slot open, or the transmission will fail!

Tube: Check your inventory and make sure that you have at least one slot free before leaving the area, human. If you don't have a slot free, the upload will fail, and you won't get a flit gun.

Flood: Try to listen carefully to these instructions, human. You'll probably have just one shot at the Assassin before he ventilates you, and it would be nice if you could get it right.

Drag the flit gun icon from your inventory panel into your hotbar. Click on the new flit gun icon in your hotbar to equip the weapon. Select your target--which should be the Assassin, of course--and then click on the flit gun icon in your hotbar again to spray the insecticide.

Think you can manage that? I have my doubts, but at any rate I'll get a kick out of seeing what the Assassin does to you.
