So what's the plan here?

I feel that without man-portable rail guns, we're fucked.

I don't think I can do enough cardio to give me a running chance in hell. I'm fk'd!



It's all about clean living. Just do the right thing, and karma will help with the rest.

Do you want Cylons?

Because this is how you get Cylons.

No need for the meteor. We’re gonna get Armageddon done ourselves...complete with a chrome kit and extra batteries.

It’s probably a lot of fun taking an expensive (for someone else) gadget like that and trying to get it to do all that. No so much if you’re the engineer responsible for it. Big Grin

I won’t be worried until they pair it with true AI. A couple of .50’s would take that fella right out of action.

Combined with the "Canadian OICW" project that looks like the rifles used by the terminators. Ominously marked "not man fireable."
