I don't know what Doug thinks of techno, but 2 Unlimited's No Limit came up on my car MP3CD yesterday - I beleive it's from one or another version of DDR, and so is mercifully short as techno goes, at only 1:32, but suggests a useful effect to me at least, since it happened just as I came up a highway onramp.

For the first five seconds, ending at the first "YEAH!" the targeted device powers up - in the case of a vehicle, Our Lady of the Blessed Accelleration kicks you in the ass as it gains an order of magnitude increase in speed, maneuverability, power output, etc. Just the thing when you have to catch a sppedster, or all you have left is a laser pistol and a getaway armored jet-zeppelin that has to die, now. The device is surrounded by bisible energy discharges until the song winds up and stops... at which point it violently explodes, hard enough that Doug had better have already gotten a good way away or behind something very solid. The power comes from him, of course, and the explosion is from the materials in whatever he's abusing flashing into superheated plasma as the constraints fade and the ramaining energy cooks off more than any inherent combustibility - thoguh of course something that could have gone boom on its own makes a bigger boom when a few megawatts of leftover metapower infuse it.

SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
