**Eventually, the half of R&D remaining within the ship's lab finally crank out several non-destructive counter-measures to use on rogue bots. Of those designed, only three are cleared for delivery to security's armory;*

**The first design, described on another tablet accompanying the deliveries just as the"[''pulse rifle''":](/forums/rp/topics/frontiers-and-pioneers-sci-fi-nsfw-violence-possible-teases-robots?post_id=6407#post_6407) entry had, would seem to be a mid-range device that "[''resonates magnetically''":](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spintronics) with 1st Wave insectoid synthbrains. Put briefly, the weapon is a portable version of the larger shipboard disruptors used to recondition the hostile bots during the landing site attack.*

||**On a separate sealed document of printed paper sent to Amy, a longwinded warning states that this weapon may play havoc on certain delicate systems, such as magnetic containment mechanisms used for antimatter bottling.*[/spoiler]

**Weapon #2 is simply a high-power"[''HERF ray''":](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fm9PM6qrV9M), cobbled together out of parts scrounged from the lab's microwave oven... While the device creates directed EMPs that can't make it past an average synthbrain's protective casing, it will however burn out exposed antennae, and so disable most typical wireless communications.*
*
**R&D should be notified *_+_immediately+__* though if a malicious bot is encountered that doesn't respond at all to the weapon's effects, preferably with the referred-to bot's body brought back for study.*
*
**On a post-it note stuck to the side of the weapon, it suggests it can also cook and reheat food... albeit terribly.*
*
**The last addition isn't anything spectacular; merely a"[riot-foam gun":](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYA9UmGcJ9c) typically used by core-world peacekeepers.*
*
**A footnote to this weapon though suggests that another public security announcement should be made in the near future advocating colonists to plant soil-clinging turf appropriate to the planet's climate across unused landscapes, as well as keep snow from piling up across public spaces, for two reasons: One; because it'll make the colony look better, and two; because it'll give firm terrain to stick foam-saturated targets against.*

**All other weapon prototypes are mothballed away into locked storage, with their own blueprints deleted.*
