“So you’d say the level of threat is...?”

“High. The threat level is high. And it’s because it’s got the same output-boosting trick as that freaky shotgun the Warmind designed.”

“Fascinating. Of course convergent design is hardly uncommon, especially in advanced ballistics, but that particular technology is quite difficult to achieve. You can bet the foundries tried, and haven’t had much luck.”

“Could the Black Armory have some kind of AI doing design?”

“Perhaps. Ada-1 makes for lovely company, but she hasn’t exactly been forthcoming with details about the workings of her operation. I really couldn’t guess whether she designs things herself, or merely inherited the specifications for the Armory’s products—excuse me, wares. There isn’t even a catalog to review, so hardly any way to tell what may be new or old.”

“So you’re saying this thing could’ve been kicking around this whole time? It might be some old piece the Armory popped out before the Collapse?”

“Yes, quite possibly, especially since you say you found it stowed in some subterranean vault.”

“But that’d mean... I thought the Black Armory maybe found some way to copy Rasputin’s trench barrel tech. You’re telling me it could be the other way around?”

“It very well could be, yes. Well, let it not be said Ada is proud of her wares without good reason.”
