Right Officer Bert I understand, you're indicating that the
Seans may have laser power induced Starships, hmmmmmm, interesting. Well
if the laser power beam is directed towards a metal target a power
generated photon release impulse reflector beam might be possible to
cause increased Starship momentum. Try performing the experiment on a
smaller scale as your fly and superglue pic comes to mind and get back
to us.


I wouldn't hold your breath, frootbat.

carry on,
