gollark: Well, you can detect a decent amount of them, sure (although I have no idea how you know how many you didn't detect), but *stopped* seems unlikely. I think your measurements are wrong.
gollark: Your "phase shift technology" is merely a special case of GTech™ exotic geometry manipulation and [DATA EXPUNGED] ontological apiomemetics, which we of course have countermeasures for.
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.
