[ Jim doesn't flinch, but he does raise his hand awful quickly-- if not for the force field, he may well have caught it. The area around his open palm goes yellow as dictated per youtube video, and the book never makes contact, skittering away in defeat. ]
Nice work, [ he says, faintly impressed. Personal shields exist where he's from, but with all the ways they might interfere with other equipment and the chances of phaser fire bouncing off, they tend to be impractical. ]
Ideally, it lasts six months, but of course it depends how often it's put into use. Come back after two months if it's been activated more than . . . let's say ten times, and I'll check then.
[ Well, maybe she should rig up an airgun at her top projected velocity, or something, just to see how it might hold up. But it's her project, so he just gives her a look of Implied Sass. ]

I'll keep you updated. Lucky for you, people like punching me.
Nope. It's a little distracting at the edges of my vision when it-- I guess when it's deciding if it needs to try and proc or not, [ he smacks the side of a desk, ] but nothing I can't compensate for.

And are projectile books what you're most worried about?

[DRAMATIC IRONY, at least he'll have a free refill. Maybe. Eh, maybe half-price.]
You feel perfectly normal, now? No buzzing under your skin, no static, nothing like that?
