gollark: Oh yes, the new ones just directly reify matter via universe direct memory access.

gollark: Those mostly just need to be a long tungsten rod and maybe GTech™ telemetry uplink, so a few seconds.

gollark: We don't deorbit entire orbital facilities, just mostly-passive projectiles.

gollark: The internet connection on them is great, due to their high-bandwidth microwave/macrowave/avioformic/neutrino/optical/apioformic/etc. data links.
