Solon's Hand Weapon

A compact sidearm Solon wields in the lab’s dim light, its dark metallic surface catching occasional glints as he fires wildly during the chaos. The pistol’s recoil jerks his arm with each shot, striking Condo amid the shattered brain jar’s spill. Its muzzle flashes briefly in the emergency lighting before Solon discards it in favor of retrieving the spilled contents.
