gollark: I'm sure you'd like to think so.
gollark: GTech™ beam/laser equipment is already built to deal with substantially greater attenuation by atmosphere and such.
gollark: You have, *at best*, some time travel. As I said, your spies were useless and your beam interceptors essentially meaningless against GTech™ systems.
gollark: GTech™ badology has come to a similar conclusion, using advanced bad spectrography techniques.
gollark: If I avoid the piano, I'll feel quite happy about that for a bit and soon probably forget.
