Dammit, randomly punch him to death. Also, set Renen to be aggressive, as in in a combative mood.

You draw your arm back and bring your fist into Renen's face again, the impact resulting in a spray of dark, clotting blood. Renen falls backward onto the headboard, unconscious.

Huh? No boarding parties incoming, no life suport or engines failure? Steve, you say, is everything alright then?
>Yeah, fine. Go back to your...whatever you're doing there. Gonna have to explain what you want to do a bit more.
In a long recoil action, the barrel and bolt remain locked together during recoil, compressing the recoil spring or springs. Following this rearward movement, the bolt locks to the rear and the barrel is forced forward by the spring. The bolt is held in position until the barrel returns completely forward during which time the spent cartridge has been extracted and ejected, and a new shell has been positioned from the magazine. The bolt is released and forced closed by its recoil spring, chambering a fresh round.
((Long recoil, wikipedia, verbatim. I wanted to know if the gauss rifle could have its action converted to a long recoil mechanism in the hopes of nullyifing that 10% chance of being hurt by the kick from the weapon. Alternatively...))
Milno searches for a cheap way of dampening the gauss rifle's recoil.
Edit:
((Renen keeps smiling and trying to molest Empyrean even while she beats the crap out of him. Talk about dedication.))
Well the Guass rifle isn't designed to have it's barrel move, nor is there even a traditional bolt system, so long recoil actions like that won't work without modifying the rifle a good deal. However, what would work is basically taking the rifle butt, cutting it in two and then replacing a good bit of it with springs. What you'd have is the very end of the butt, where you put your shoulder, be solid, the middle be just springs, and those springs attach to the very front of the butt. As such, when you fire the springs in the butt would compress, like the suspension on a car, and lessen the impact.
((General info first, then anything known about their origins, construction, history, etc))
You scroll through a few dozen sites, trying to filter out the fact from the fiction. [int:3+1] Hmm, well it's pretty much universally agreed that the Arbiters are completely robotic, an extreme rarity when it comes to more complex machines. Their control units, their "brains", are hand made using billions of artificial neuro-circuits and cost as much as some battleships. As such they are rarely made and even more rarely used. Where exactly they are made is still unknown but many people assume their origin to be Hephaestus.
They first appeared, at least the first documentation of them appeared, during the end of the Altered wars. They were produced in greater numbers at that time and many of the units in service today are leftovers from that ancient war. They have seen sporadic production ever since, though many systems have outlawed their use as a War crime or Crime against humanity.

You bring your heel down onto the back of the man's head repeatedly and with as much force as you can. He stops moving and the game plays a short jingle to announce your victory. The room fades and comes back a moment later with a new opponent. This time it's a rather large, muscular looking man holding a knife on one hand.
