[Azul's smile doesn't even wane at the implication, as he idly traces the rim of his coffee cup with a finger.]

Detection and capture would be the most useful, at least depending on the individual in question. A fish that's accidentally treaded too far out into dangerous waters does not become a lost cause immediately, if it knows to swim back to safety in time. Or rather, in less heavy-handed terms... where I come from, my society puts quite an emphasis on the importance of benevolence and helping those who are less fortunate than us... and knowing when to show mercy, even to those that have wronged us in the past.

As such, I am capable of being merciful, if the person in question caught was truly regretful of their actions, and willing to pay a price to make up for their misdeeds. If not then, well... I suppose it's their own fault what happens next at that point for refusing my forgiveness in that regard.

[He says with a shrug, as if this is a perfectly normal thing to say.]

So, to answer your question, I would prefer that any security measure you would put in does not actually harm anyone. At least, not right away. It would be a shame otherwise if it immediately neutralized the target before I could potentially turn the situation back around in some way to my own benefit.
