# smg.moonlight slot → DISARM · "TAKEN BACK" · beat summary v1 (N1, 27 Oct ~19:45) · AWAITING COORDINATOR OK

MOONLIGHT is a REPLACE: it needs a PLATFORM (a high top plus a walkway) and the map check skips it on rooftops (ROOM), canyon and retro
(PLATFORM), atrium and pinball (FOOTING), and The Deep. Key `smg.moonlight` (rarity RARE kept). STYLE: **DISARM** (weapon technique:
the victim takes Faris's SMG; Faris takes it back). **Needs** FLOOR + space about 220. **Length** about 16-18 s, real time.

**Victim:** Amjad, a close-quarters specialist, unarmed.

1. **0-2.0 THE CLOSE.** Amjad advances in a high guard. Faris fires a burst; CAST 1 (Amjad, 'fist'): a gold forearm GUARD inks onto his lead arm. The rounds spark off it as he walks into the stream behind it (a cover move, not a springboard).
2. **2.0-3.4 THE DISARM.** Inside the reach:
   - both hands on the gun, one on the wrist, one on the barrel;
   - he rotates the muzzle toward Faris's thumb, strips the SMG out of his grip, and steps back with it.
   - SLOW-MO 1 on the strip: the gun leaving Faris's fingers.
   - Amjad now holds the SMG; Faris is unarmed.
3. **3.4-5.6 THE RUN OF FIRE.** Amjad fires.
   - Faris is already moving: a dive-roll across the line of fire, the stream chasing him across the floor, a second roll the other way.
   - He comes up inside Amjad's reach.
4. **5.6-6.8.** CAST 2 (Faris, 'trace': a finger writes a glyph and flicks it): a gold KARAMBIT hooks into his fist.
   - One cut across the inside of Amjad's gun wrist: the hand opens and the SMG drops.
5. **6.8-7.6 THE KICK-UP.** Before the SMG hits the floor, Faris toe-flicks it up and catches it by the grip. SLOW-MO 2: the gun spinning up into his hand.
6. **7.6-9.4.** Amjad goes for it again with the gold-guarded arm. Faris fires point-blank:
   - the guarded arm BLOWS APART in three simple pieces (hand, forearm, upper arm), the gold guard shattering with it;
   - Amjad is spun half round.
7. **9.4-11.0.** He turns back to fight one-armed (no quit in him). Faris holds the trigger and steps back:
   - SLOW-MO 3: the stream BURSTS HIS CHEST (a simple stickman burst: blood, a few rib splinters; no organs, no bulge);
   - it throws him off his feet backwards.
8. **11.0-13.0.** He lands flat on his BACK, arms flung, the plain head turned away (no face). Faris ejects, reloads and lowers the gun.

- **Dismemberment (why):** the arm that took the gun and came back for it a second time, blown into pieces with its gold guard.
- **The opening:** the chest burst at point-blank range: the gun returns to its owner through the man who took it.
- **End pose:** flat on his back, arms flung wide, the pieces of the arm and the shattered guard around him.
- **XT, less zoomed:** the whole body and Faris standing over him with his gun back.
- **Uniqueness (checked against the LEDGER):** no SMG kill takes the gun from Faris, and no kill has the toe-flick catch.
  - CLINCH's barrel wrestle is a fight for the barrel; this is a technical strip and a retake.
  - No shoulder-on-the-barrel loss (that's THREE MAGS), no knee (CHASE).
- **Casts:** Amjad's gold guard, Faris's gold karambit (2).
- **Faces:** none after the kill; minimal before.
- **Wounds:** HFX torn entries.
- **Switches:** gore and faces through the shared switches.
