My present group doesn't do wetwork, we don't kill casually, we have
killed cyborgs, and some guys who were wacked out on combat drugs. We
killed them because we couldn't knock them down, knock them out, or other
wise incapacitate them. The gaurd doing his job usually doesn't know
we're there, if he does, he usually goes 'nite-nite', and wakes up with a
slight headache. (via stunbolt, sleep spell, or a good old fashioned thump
to the back of the head)

We're actually proud not to have left a trail of bodies where ever we go.
