Because orbital weapons platforms are fun - Glidergun - 03-31-2010

I feel like there's sunshine
On my shoulder
I can feel its weight on me
It's not the sun
It's a ray gun
Shot from outer space
My eyes are plugged into the video
My ears are soaking up the audio
Your hands are all over my body oh no
And I get overstimulated
Plugged in ever since I was a kid you know
Interface by way of Nintendo
Brainwash propaganda on the radio
And I get overstimulated
My eyes are plugged into the video
And I get overstimulated
Your hands are all over my body oh no
And I get overstimulation
I feel like there's sunshine
On my shoulder
I can feel its weight on me
It's not the sun
It's a ray gun
Shot from outer space
Pong - Sunshine (can be heard on their myspace page)

The first and last stanzas are clearly about an orbital laser. An "interface with technology" thing seems to be appropriate for the middle bit.
So: Doug hooks up to the local satellite network (if there is one) and also gets his own personal space laser.

Mm. A little outside of his usual range, but a simulated space laser, originating from the edge of his AOE and striking within it might work...

If Doug is in a dimension where real orbital lasers exist, might this let him take control of one?


- Bob Schroeck - 04-01-2010

Unless a control system for one were within his usual AOE, I'd say no.
