Cedric smiled, shaking his head, "You wouldn't make it very far as a Sapper, kid. You've got to get the attitude that as long as you aren't too stupid with 'em, that these things won't hurt you. Besides that, we aren't using plastic explosives for the primary element of this one because we have to make a bomb that doesn't cause a lot of damage."
With that said, he picked up a single one of the scalar pulse grenades. He worked quickly on it, and before very long it's black exterior was sitting on the table and he held up the charge: a disposable ZPE capacitor wrapped in a highly potent emitter. He held it so that Cadet Logan could see exactly what it was.
"This is all they are, sailor." He was still smiling, "As long as you're careful: they won't hurt you at all."
He set the capacitor down on the table and after a brief period of silent work, it was joined by five other identical charges. He tossed all the cases to the ground. Once that was done, Cedric reached over to another vase in which EMP grenades rested. Silently, he began doing the same as before. In a short time there were six capacitor charges and six EMP grenade charges resting on the table in front of him. All of the bodies were piled up on the floor at his feet.
"Now, sailor." He still had a smile on his face as he looked to Cadet Logan, "How do you propose we put arrange all this and make sure it stays together?"
