[meta/ OGJ Finale]Outline of story, co-authors needed
Re: [meta/ OGJ Finale]Outline of story, co-authors needed

...or we could just unhijack the thread. Since it's been about a week, and no one really seems particularly in favor of the idea of going weapons-grade (even in that limited, temporary way) then kill the idea and get back to dealing with the disasterous relief.
Side note: Personally, I'd have said that Li's power would let her know things like range, effects, and quirks - the sorts of stuff you'd need to *use* such a weapon, or to try to limit its use on you in a tactical situation. having someone who could give you info like that by looking at the wreckage of a few blasted ships would be Very Handy Indeed, particularly if your enemies still had a copy of the weapon or two. It might even give a few pointers on roughly how it was achieved ("Wow. They must have used a *lot* of Argon.") (which could, in turn, help significantly with tracking the thing down and/or finding/exploiting flaws in it) but it wouldn't be the same as being able to easily reproduce the effect itself. Not that this matters here, but it means in the future that if/when we do come up with explosive Mad Science, Li's power is useful, but doesn't just hand her the weapon's-grade stuff Because Someone Else Has It.
