And there is a strong argument that Mamdani is a member of the Red-Green Alliance, right?

Right.
It depends on your proximity to an Amazon, to a warehouse.
So you wouldn't keep the stuff on board, the blimp, you would have those, so it would fly out, they'd go to the center, get the items and then bring them and then come back to the ship probably.
Do you want to get technical on what it is and any of that?
Holy crap.
That's weird.
Wow.
Yeah, graphene, I don't know.
An early weapon that can make laser plasma balls talk.
It's called the laser-induced plasma effect, and it's made by the Joint Non-Legal Weapons Directorate.
So what they've done is basically created a laser that can shoot out to a certain distance, and they can pipe in sound, sound waves through it, and actually make human voice sounds and commands.
Now where this becomes useful is around an area where you want to keep a perimeter secure.
So essentially you can shoot out this laser, you can then talk to the people on the edge of the perimeter rather than sending troops out there and tell them to get away or you're going to shoot or get away or they're going to use other means to deter them.
And that same laser can be used to actually target the individual and create heat through pinpricks, like microscopic pinpricks in their skin, even beneath clothing.
It's extremely uncomfortable and people move out of the way almost immediately.
At the same time, the exact same laser is also being used as kind of a never-ending flashbang grenade.
