"I've long come to the realization that my forms are divided between function, and terror. Function forms are forms deliberately and meticulously crafted, often being objects of beauty. Terror forms are just haphazard, meant to be relentless and fear inducing, often at the cost of being highly energy guzzling. This rifle, is one such terror form."

"This here is a weapon class that comes at the culmination of my self destruction before I was saved. A weapon was meant to launch and embed bits of me, to take things over and extend my will. A weapon, that, almost but thankfully never saw use upon my splinter-daughters at the time. A weapon, that was made to make an example out of those that opposed me. The overall plan is simple. A chamber to generate and conjure crystalline fragments of myself, and a primer chamber meant to launch said crystalline fragment. Often than not in my furious projections, the launch mechanism is a tachyonizing field, ultimately launching the projectile at relativistic or even super-relativistic speeds. The depletion of the tachyonized matter can be tailored to occur within the gun barrel for a scattershot blast of radiation, or at a distance if the target is too far or needs more punishment."

"My children plead with me I never use such a weapon, for they know the violence I am capable of, and the violence this weapon sings with. They know the song of its predecessors from choruses of blades." - Terlynn
