gollark: If the fireballs actually caused explod™, everything nearby would be devastated, so we should probably not have that‽
gollark: It turns out that - who would have guessed? - the fireballs actually propel the orbital laser strike target designator upward.
gollark: Due to orbital laser strike bugs it is now raining fire.
gollark: Blame cyan.
gollark: Cyan must invit eyou.
