"I think that there is no need for emotion in robots. I don't think that we know enough about artificial intelligence to employ emotionally active "beings" into our world."

Deflector Plasma Screen For Drones ala Star Wars
'If the enemy persists in attacking or even intensifies their power, the density of the plasma in space will suddenly increase, causing it to reflect most of the incoming energy like a mirror.'
