Chekhov’s Gun. Specifically, Chekhov’s Gun that shoots through Strib shields.
I can’t believe I forgot about that already.

No-one ever said you can’t shoot out through the shields. Indeed since ships can leabe but not enter I suspect the same applies to weapons. The issue is hitting at that range, but that’s the gun that never misses.
They left planet gentlekindness and are on a moon around planet gentlekindness, so, no shields.

Well, the one around the strib. But that one is bound to be much less powerful, so fair game. Mostly life support I would guess. A life boat so to speak. Even has the ejection chair.
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.

Yep. Was William Blake. Also, *was* a Strib. Buh-bye. Don’t come back now, y’hear?

Well said, @Sean K.

I dunno, sort of feels like he got off kinda easy. Not that I feel sorry for the little shit, no sir!

What is this, William Blake’s 7?

So now I’m wondering – what is the space equivalent of Dark Satanic Mills?
Efogoto
Black holes, I think.
Seymour Joseph
Wow! Both the accuracy and the humor of a sneezing coyote. Bravo! SPLUBT! Indeed.

Two down. Any left to go?

I do like a good rendition of Jerusalem.
Despite the fact that the first half is a set of questions to which the answer is “No”.

So, what’s happening to people who get disintegrated? Saponification?

In this comic, tiny particle remnants are an official signal that somebody has endured a “FATALITY” and not just a simple stun or injury.

Or aren't we doing the movie?

Okay, I want one of those guns now.
russell
I have a list. I’m going to need a charging station as well.
TB
I understand his laser is a custom job of some kind, but you’d think if this was possible all lasers would have “no miss” devices. That would make gun battles very abrupt.
All “Star Wars” movies would be fifteen minutes long.

I think we have already established that the dark satanic mills are the Eeb Spacetrawlers, no?

That laser is better at tracking than Choan is?
Must have some Eeb tech in it.
“I want to hit Adolf Hitler in April 24, 1933…”
Seems like that would work.
