"So I dunno, she was like, 'move these "[hellcubes":](http://www.aleph.se/EclipsePhase/Cognoweapons.pdf) to the basement, cuz I got these drapes'." **sigh.** "I don't even get that, I'm like, 'honey, this is work'."



 
 
"Are you serious?"



 
 
"I can't-yeah, _*I can't put'em in the friggin' basement_*, I mean..." **sigh.** "So I say, 'fine, I'll do it, I'll put'em in the basement', I started taking'em down, y'know, and I'm moving them _*one_* at a time,"



 
 
"Heh-right right,"



 
 
"Right? and I'm just kinda waitin' to see what she does, I wanna see how she's gonna react to it,"



 
 
"Yeah,"



 
 
"And she's like, 'y'know, can you put a tarp over'em also?'"



 
 
"Awww, no way..."



 
 
"And I just felt like, _*no_*, I'm _*not_*... _*dammit_*, I'm not gonna put a friggin' tarp over these things,"



 
 
"Ramm Γ, that's your mindflaying collection dude, I mean, that's your thing..."



 
 
"I know it's my mindflaying collection, I... worked hard to make these things, I work hard to maintain'em, but fine, _*fine_*, I'll put'em in the basement, let's put'em in the basement, but why _*cover'em_*? _*What is the point of covering them, if you're gonna display them?_* If I can't display them up top, I'll put'em in the basement and display them, but then put a tarp? _*No friggin' way._* Absolutely friggin' not."



 
 
"Right on, dude, right on."



 
 
"Yesterday, this is the other thing that friggin' killed me; She's been on me for months, right, to do something about the ceiling, cuz it is... _*nasty_*, and I offered to cover it in "[synthblood":](https://detroit-become-human.fandom.com/wiki/Thirium_310), and she's like, _*'no, what are you, crazy?'_* I was like, _*'Nno?_* Solution; here's the problem, this is what I wanna do'. Lemme cover the ceiling in synthblood, let's just get this friggin' over with."



 
 
"Yeah, so if it's not one thing, then it's the next thing, y'know, and everything's gotta go her way, I-yeah, I got one at home just like her, dude. Yeah," **sniff.** "and we recently "[merged":](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJkxQkGxAsE), so we got a kid now, and so,"



 
 
"Well, that's a whole other set of crap, I'm sure."



 
 
"Right? So Cais Θ puts the simulspace-server hosting our kid right next to my preserved synthbrain collection too, cuz I got the same thing you, I got, y'know, I've got collectibles at home, and she wants me to move'em cuz she thinks they're not hygienic. Y'know, cuz there's synthbrains in jars, with preservative oils an', she doesn't want the server sitting right next to that, cuz she thinks, 'oh, it might be harmful', but they're all on a shelf, _*which I built_*,"



 
 
"Of course, and it's solid, and it's sturdy, and nothing's gonna happen, but they don't wanna hear it, cuz they're worried about synthbrain oil getting spilled on the simulspace server hosting the baby."



 
 
"So here's what I say; 'move the server to the other side of the maintenance-pool.' '_*No_*, because, one side of the maintenance-pool gets more light.' Well, that's why I put my synthbrain collection there, because it gets more light. So then just, 'Ookay, I'll move the maintenance-pool?' '_*No_*, I need that, and everything else right where-'"



 
 
"Thing that I don't agr... Ramm Δ, really, the thing that bugs me about that, is that, I don't understand how there's such a lack of appreciation for that backlight coming through the glass of the jars the synthbrains are in, and it just looks cool."



 
 
"You've seen that?"



 
 
"Yeah, well I saw when you were setting up, I was like, 'this is really friggin' cool',"



 
 
"I'm not moving that, _*cuz I built the whole unit_*."



 
 
"Why move it? That's the point of putting it next to the window, and I'm sure you've explained that to Cais Θ, but she just doesn't get it."



 
 
"I just wanna move the maintenance-pool, but I can't even debate with her on it."



 
 
"Ridiculous, I know dude..."

"Are you serious?"


"I can't-yeah, _I can't put'em in the friggin' basement_, I mean..." *sigh.* "So I say, 'fine, I'll do it, I'll put'em in the basement', I started taking'em down, y'know, and I'm moving them _one_ at a time,"


"Heh-right right,"


"Right? and I'm just kinda waitin' to see what she does, I wanna see how she's gonna react to it,"


"Yeah,"


"And she's like, 'y'know, can you put a tarp over'em also?'"


"Awww, no way..."


"And I just felt like, _no_, I'm _not_... _dammit_, I'm not gonna put a friggin' tarp over these things,"


"Ramm Γ, that's your mindflaying collection dude, I mean, that's your thing..."


"I know it's my mindflaying collection, I... worked hard to make these things, I worked hard to maintain'em, but fine, _fine_, I'll put'em in the basement, let's put'em in the basement, but why _cover'em_? _What is the point of covering them, if you're gonna display them?_ If I can't display them up top, I'll put'em in the basement and display them, but then put a tarp? _No friggin' way._ Absolutely friggin' not."


"Right on, dude, right on."


"Yesterday, this is the other thing that friggin' killed me; She's been on me for months, right, to do something about the ceiling, cuz it is... _nasty_, and I offered to cover it in "synthblood":https://detroit-become-human.fandom.com/wiki/Thirium_310, and she's like, _'no, what are you, crazy?'_ I was like, _'no?'_ Solution; here's the problem, this is what I wanna do. Lemme cover the ceiling in synthblood, let's just get this friggin' over with."


"Yeah, so if it's not one thing, then it's the next thing, y'know, and everything's gotta go her way, I-yeah, I got one at home just like her, dude. Yeah," *sniff.* "and we recently "merged":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJkxQkGxAsE, so we got a kid now, and so,"


"Well, that's a whole other set of crap, I'm sure."


"Right? So Cais Θ puts the co-sleeper right next to my preserved synthbrain collection too, cuz I got the same thing you, I got, y'know, I've got collectibles at home, and she wants me to move'em cuz she thinks they're not hygienic. Y'know, cuz there's synthbrains in jars, with preservative oils an', she doesn't want the baby sleeping right next to that, cuz she thinks, 'oh, it might be harmful', but they're all on a shelf, _which I built_,"


"Of course, and it's solid, and it's sturdy, and nothing's gonna happen, but they don't wanna hear it, cuz they're worried about synthbrain oil getting spilled on the baby."


"So here's what I say; 'move the co-sleeper to the other side of the bed.' '_No_, because, one side of the bed gets more light.' Well, that's why I put my brain collection there, because it gets more light. So then just, 'okay, I'll move the bed?' '_No_, I need the bed, and everything else right-'"


"Thing that I don't agr... Ramm Δ, really, the thing that bugs me about that is that, I don't, understand how there's such a lack of appreciation for that backlight coming through the glass of the jars the synthbrains are in, and it just looks cool."


"You've seen that?"


"Yeah, well I saw when you were setting up, I was like, 'this is really friggin' cool',"


"I'm not moving that, _cuz I built the whole unit_."


"Why move it? That's the point of putting it next to the window, and I'm sure you've explained that to Cais ΣΘ, but she just doesn't get it."

Let me drop some Sun Tzu on you first. The best thing is of course never to have to fight. Get the enemy to love you, want to help you, or at least ignore you. But if you have to fight, _you fight to win_. If you find yourself in a 'fair fight' you have done something wrong.

What we're dealing with here is destruction, but what is the essence of that? It's to prevent the intended function of something – a weapon, a person, a machine, a society. It can be surgical, like resetting a synthmorph's brain to factory defaults, or it can be entropic, like perforating it with bullets, or blowing it up. The problem with surgical destruction is that it's complicated, so it often requires special tools and a lot of preparation. You also need to know a lot about your enemy – always a good thing, but often hard to come by. Entropy on the other hand is easy, it is the natural tendency of the universe. Apply enough of it and it doesn’t matter what you are fighting.

This is a collection of conventional and unconventional weaponry, used to dispense entropy where it does the most good.


_+Strategic weapons+_
Let's start with the strategic section first. The best way of making an impression that can be measured in kilometres.

_Antimatter bullets_
!https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9b/92/e3/9b92e3ad262948351fcbb5164e530ad8.jpg!

Rare, deadly, and very, very unpopular. Normally installed in special micromissiles that can fly far enough to be safe to use, but a few railgun bullets have also been made. Generally regarded as completely insane to use, but a few rogue ASI hunters I know swear by them: nothing survives ambiplasma, no matter how smart it is.

Unfortunately, antimatter ammunition is quite unstable. A sufficiently serious hit on the weapon or ammo will set it off. While antimatter railgun bullets are built to handle extreme accelerations sometimes they fail when fired, blowing up the firer. Worse, some do not detonate when they should, leaving unexploded antimatter ordnance lying around or inside a body. Of course, sometimes you want this to happen, and so we have a design for that too.

The yield can be anything from a grenade to a nuke, depending on the design. Unlike a hydrogen bomb you cannot set the yield after making it. Tends to set off WMD detectors left and right, so these are hard to covertly transport.


_Tantalum charge_
!https://i1.wp.com/periodic-table.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Tantalum.jpg?fit=225%2C225&ssl=1!
This is a nuclear isomer bomb that produces an "intense gamma ray burst.":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_gamma_emission Leaves no lingering radioactivity, but plays merry hell with organic tissue, circuitry, nanomachinery, and anything else that disagrees with getting ionization and free radicals everywhere. It has an explosive power similar to a high-explosive grenade, since the gammas tend to bump the atoms around quite vigorously. One of the nice things about this device is that it takes a somewhat sophisticated detector to figure out that you are lugging around a block of tantalum 180m, rather than just a block of boring old regular tantalum.

This is puny compared to the others in this section. This is the man-portable version you would lug into the Den of Evil to cleanse it with fire. We have a big and expensive warheads that do the same thing on regional levels. Yeah, this is likely what happened to New Maracaibo on Mars...


_RKKS (Relativistic Kinetic Kill System)_
!https://cdnph.upi.com/svc/sv/i/9731565626679/2019/1/15656361712860/Timeline-suggests-giant-planet-migration-was-earlier-than-predicted.jpg!
These are the Big Guns; the "rocks". To be honest, I don't know if any have actually been built. But I'd be surprised if nobody had tried – there are a few too many paranoid groups out there with ample energy supplies and expansive strategic defense budgets.

Basically it just throws a heavy projectile at something very fast. So fast, that the enemy will not be able to react to it: when they see the blueshifted gammas from it they have milliseconds to react. Even if the enemy could break the missile they would still be hit by the fragments. And when it hits, it doesn't matter what it is made of since it has more kinetic energy than its own mass-energy: making the warhead out of antimatter would just be superfluous.

Of course, you need to point it at where the enemy will be when it hits. So this is great against somebody who doesn't move very unpredictably, like a large space habitat, a terrestrial city, or a big installation.

The big problem with RKKS is how to accelerate them. "This particular blueprint":https://www.assignmentpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/nuclear-pulse-propulsion.jpg (courtesy of Omnicor) uses "pulsed explosions":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_pulse_propulsion for propulsion: it is a series of stages that gets propelled forward when the previous stage explodes. Very visible, of course, but if you happened to have a small icy moon to hide it on, like, say Phoebe, Cordelia or Pasiphaë (not that I'm hinting at anything) the initial explosions would be pretty invisible and by the time the RKKS is obvious it would already be very fast. I know some Jovian think tank and the Quantum Defense Group (paranoid lunarians) have been looking at a really powerful railgun version, and there is a rumour the Titanians have found a clever way of launching projectiles using a long "''thunder well''":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Plumbbob tube filled with deuterium that acts as a directional hydrogen bomb.

Remember, the main point of the weapon is that there's no time to react. This is for a surprise “let’s rid the world of you”-party.


_Planetary maser_
!https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/3-s2.0-B9780124158450000529-f52-17-9780124158450.jpg!
Another absurd weapon that works in theory but nobody seems to have built. In a maser atoms that have been put in a high-energy state fall to a lower state when tickled with photons of the right frequency. If there are enough of them, and there is some sort of resonant cavity, you can get a cascade where a lot of energy gets released as coherent microwaves. The fun thing is that there are a lot of highly strung atoms around the universe. "There are natural masers in star atmospheres, in molecular clouds, in comets, in the water plumes from Saturn's ice moons and in gas giant atmospheres. In particular, Jupiter has fine conditions for making lots of maser energy.":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrophysical_maser

These masers are not very focused and directional. But suppose somebody arranged things so that magnetic fields produced a resonant cavity, fired a bunch of really big lasers to provide charged channels that would act as directional antennas and beamed microwaves at the right phase to make a self-focusing beam? You would get a very big maser delivering a lot – many terawatts - of energy. To actually use it you would need to set up a set of control stations in close jovian orbit. Which likely will require some cooperation with Earthgov and the inhabitants around Jupiter.


_Antimatter cluster bomb_
!https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EH-dgFiWsAAQMzy.jpg!
While we're on the topic of redecorating geography on planetary scales, here's an old classic: the AMCB. Just like the antimatter warheads we all know and love, except that this one contains hundreds to thousands of individual mini-warheads. They spread out, and detonate simultaneously across a big area or volume. Yep, this is what made the "Big Shiners" pock-marking all over Amazonis Planitia.

Why not use the AM in one big bomb? Because there is a limit on how much entropy you want to throw at a single place: making something a million or ten million degrees hot is not going to make much of a difference; all the atoms are going to turn to plasma. If your target is made of molecular matter it is not going to care much about the difference. But targets are often extended or you are uncertain of where they are. Hence the cluster: lots of sufficiently big detonations, covering the area so no point is far from a fireball.

Perhaps you want to "dissociate nuclei?":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagedorn_temperature Then you need to get a few billion degrees to be sure (those pesky iron atoms are pretty tough to crack). Normal nukes only give you a few million degrees in the fireball and to be honest it is hard to get beyond that with antimatter warheads too. Inside the ambiplasma you can be pretty sure of some corrosion of nuclei, though. So if you think you need to cleanse a "femtotech":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femtotechnology threat, I would recommend just pouring antimatter on it.

Maybe I am a bit too fond of the stuff, but it is hard to beat.]

These are the Big Guns; the "rocks". To be honest, I don't know if any have actually been built. But I'd be surprised if nobody had tried – there are a few too many paranoid groups out there with ample energy supplies and expansive strategic defense budgets.

Basically it just throws a heavy projectile at something very fast. So fast, that the enemy will not be able to react to it: when they see the blueshifted gammas from it they have milliseconds to react. Even if the enemy could break the missile they would still be hit by the fragments. And when it hits, it doesn't matter what it is made of since it has more kinetic energy than its own mass-energy: making the warhead out of antimatter would just be superfluous.

Of course, you need to point it at where the enemy will be when it hits. So this is great against somebody who doesn't move very unpredictably, like a large space habitat, a terrestrial city, or a big installation.

The big problem with RKKS is how to accelerate them. "This particular blueprint":https://www.assignmentpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/nuclear-pulse-propulsion.jpg (courtesy of Omnicor) uses "pulsed explosions":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_pulse_propulsion for propulsion: it is a series of stages that gets propelled forward when the previous stage explodes. Very visible, of course, but if you happened to have a small icy moon to hide it on, like, say Phoebe, Cordelia or Pasiphaë (not that I'm hinting at anything) the initial explosions would be pretty invisible and by the time the RKKS is obvious it would already be very fast. I know some Jovian think tank and the Quantum Defense Group (paranoid lunarians) have been looking at a really powerful railgun version, and there is a rumour the Titanians have found a clever way of launching projectiles using a long "''thunder well''":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Plumbbob tube filled with deuterium that acts as a directional hydrogen bomb.

Remember, the main point of the weapon is that there's no time to react. This is for a surprise “let’s rid the world of you”-party.


_Planetary maser_

Another absurd weapon that works in theory but nobody seems to have built. In a maser atoms that have been put in a high-energy state fall to a lower state when tickled with photons of the right frequency. If there are enough of them, and there is some sort of resonant cavity, you can get a cascade where a lot of energy gets released as coherent microwaves. The fun thing is that there are a lot of highly strung atoms around the universe. "There are natural masers in star atmospheres, in molecular clouds, in comets, in the water plumes from Saturn's ice moons and in gas giant atmospheres. In particular, Jupiter has fine conditions for making lots of maser energy.":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrophysical_maser

These masers are not very focused and directional. But suppose somebody arranged things so that magnetic fields produced a resonant cavity, fired a bunch of really big lasers to provide charged channels that would act as directional antennas and beamed microwaves at the right phase to make a self-focusing beam? You would get a very big maser delivering a lot – many terawatts - of energy. To actually use it you would need to set up a set of control stations in close jovian orbit. Which likely will require some cooperation with Earthgov and the inhabitants around Jupiter.


_Antimatter cluster bomb_

While we're on the topic of redecorating geography on planetary scales, here's an old classic: the AMCB. Just like the antimatter warheads we all know and love, except that this one contains hundreds to thousands of individual mini-warheads. They spread out, and detonate simultaneously across a big area or volume. Yep, this is what made the "Big Shiners" pock-marking all over Amazonis Planitia.

Why not use the AM in one big bomb? Because there is a limit on how much entropy you want to throw at a single place: making something a million or ten million degrees hot is not going to make much of a difference,; all the atoms are going to turn to plasma. If your target is made of molecular matter it is not going to care much about the difference. But targets are often extended or you are uncertain of where they are. Hence the cluster: lots of sufficiently big detonations, covering the area so no point is far from a fireball.

Perhaps you want to "dissociate nuclei?":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagedorn_temperature Then you need to get a few billion degrees to be sure (those pesky iron atoms are pretty tough to crack). Normal nukes only give you a few million degrees in the fireball and to be honest it is hard to get beyond that with antimatter warheads too. Inside the ambiplasma you can be pretty sure of some corrosion of nuclei, though. So if you think you need to cleanse a "femtotech":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femtotechnology threat, I would recommend just pouring antimatter on it.

Maybe I am a bit too fond of the stuff, but it is hard to beat.

Let me drop some Sun Tzu on you first. The best thing is of course never to have to fight. Get the enemy to love you, want to help you, or at least ignore you. But if you have to fight, _you fight to win_. If you find yourself in a 'fair fight' you have done something wrong.

What we're dealing with here is destruction, but what is the essence of that? It's to prevent the intended function of something – a weapon, a person, a machine, a society. It can be surgical, like resetting a synthmorph's brain to factory defaults, or it can be entropic, like perforating it with bullets, or blowing it up. The problem with surgical destruction is that it's complicated, so it often requires special tools and a lot of preparation. You also need to know a lot about your enemy – always a good thing, but often hard to come by. Entropy on the other hand is easy, it is the natural tendency of the universe. Apply enough of it and it doesn’t matter what you are fighting.

This is a collection of conventional and unconventional weaponry, used to dispense entropy where it does the most good.


_+Strategic weapons+_
Let's start with the strategic section first. The best way of making an impression that can be measured in kilometres.

_Antimatter bullets_
!https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9b/92/e3/9b92e3ad262948351fcbb5164e530ad8.jpg!

Rare, deadly, and very, very unpopular. Normally installed in special micromissiles that can fly far enough to be safe to use, but a few railgun bullets have also been made. Generally regarded as completely insane to use, but a few rogue ASI hunters I know swear by them: nothing survives ambiplasma, no matter how smart it is.

Unfortunately, antimatter ammunition is quite unstable. A sufficiently serious hit on the weapon or ammo will set it off. While antimatter railgun bullets are built to handle extreme accelerations sometimes they fail when fired, blowing up the firer. Worse, some do not detonate when they should, leaving unexploded antimatter ordnance lying around or inside a body. Of course, sometimes you want this to happen, and so we have a design for that too.

The yield can be anything from a grenade to a nuke, depending on the design. Unlike a hydrogen bomb you cannot set the yield after making it. Tends to set off WMD detectors left and right, so these are hard to covertly transport.


_Tantalum charge_
!https://i1.wp.com/periodic-table.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Tantalum.jpg?fit=225%2C225&ssl=1!
This is a nuclear isomer bomb that produces an "intense gamma ray burst.":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_gamma_emission Leaves no lingering radioactivity, but plays merry hell with organic tissue, circuitry, nanomachinery, and anything else that disagrees with getting ionization and free radicals everywhere. It has an explosive power similar to a high-explosive grenade, since the gammas tend to bump the atoms around quite vigorously. One of the nice things about this device is that it takes a somewhat sophisticated detector to figure out that you are lugging around a block of tantalum 180m, rather than just a block of boring old regular tantalum.

This is puny compared to the others in this section. This is the man-portable version you would lug into the Den of Evil to cleanse it with fire. We have a big and expensive warheads that do the same thing on regional levels. Yeah, this is likely what happened to New Maracaibo on Mars...
