It occurs to me that with fine-tuning and careful work, an artificial hand could be fitted with miniature lightsaber workups to emit for a length of perhaps two inches from the tips of the fingers and thumb, sort of as a last resort holdout weapon. The emitter holes could be covered with synthskin.

I'd like management's thoughts on this for approval.

I vote to DENY, for two reasons; 1.) Cale, as a Force user, already has a tremendous physical advantage over most other characters (here I feel compelled to cite Rule 1.6) and, also, 2.) I'm doubtful that a lightsaber could reasonably be built that small; a lightsaber crystal alone is wider than a finger, not to mention the many accompanying components.

how about a holdout blaster in a finger? only good for one or three shots at close range?

If Cale weren't already an accomplished Force user, I would say fine. I just don't see that he needs any more extra edge than he already has.

what about the fake force devices we spoke about in messenger? even the force runs out eventually.

(Note to other manager(s), the Force devices that Drasek mentioned above have been discussed in Messenger and, as I understand it, Drasek is not seeking them at this time. I think, in fact, that the request is finished then).
