((Why are planets important? They're just chunks of rock. Just make sure it isn't Hephaestus and we're golden.))((Who cares what happens to an uninhabited chunk of rock?))((Nobody, but if that chunk of rock happens to be near something important (like, say, a planet) then it's important.))
<So that we can't get ahold of her. Better your weapon to be destroyed than the enemy use it, right?><If we had a chance to destroy the weapon, they've already lost. Any advantage which could be gained that way would be outweighed by the disadvantage of not being able to move said weapon. This isn't even getting into details of how they would do that!>
<Demons don't usualy care much for the wellbeing of people, they might even use our desire to keep the girl safe as an advantage - if we can't remove her safely, we will hesitate, and the demon has more time to react.><Clearly, the demons have a higher opinion of y'all than I do. But more importantly, if we've gotten that deep, we've already won.>
"Things go downhill" is a bit of an understatement. Thats like saying that "Some people got hurt" about WWII.That just tells me that however things went downhill, they went downhill a lot.
((My guess is that nobody wins somehow! Maybe another BETA comes along and eats the weakened one to gain power and status, then messes up the rest of the planet because that sort of thing is right up its alley.))((But then the second BETA would win.))
And yeah, things go downhill in that show. Goddamn werid superweapons.As in "quality" or as in "things suck for the characters"?
((It needs to be shielded from everything, including gravity. Less gravity around = less chance of catastrophic failure should something go wrong. Not much less, but still. Plus "no sentient beings around" is kind of easier enforced out in space.))Orbiting another planet, then.
Heat doesn't really "Chop" through stuff very well.My $0.02 on the matter:
((L3 may not be stable, but a station can still be parked there with some minor stationkeeping required. And it's the furthest from the planet - not that it'll help much, if Steve's estimate on the containment breach of the artifact from mission 4 is any indication.))((At that point, is there even any reason to putting it at a Lagrange point? Seems like it would be cheaper, Δv-wise, to just put it on another planet.))
