"All right, explanation. What happened here?"

"Well, we were testing the latest rev of the headshot return gun."

"And one of you decided to test it by shooting Johnson in the head?"

"No, Johnson was doing the firing test."

"Go on..."

"He was shooting at one of the standard Mark 12 target drones, and... I don't know. Either his hand slipped, or he tried an unauthorized disarm shot, or... we'll never know. Anyway, as you can see, he hit the drone's weapon."

"... And the round rehomed..."

"... To his head. Yes. That's... that's what it looks like."

"Hmm. Well... have to have a word with the software guys about algorithm reversibility. Carry on."
