“Here’s the object in question.” Devra reveals a glowing orb with a force field around it. “This is the power core for a device called a ‘Terralunar Impulsion Beam.’ The man who designed it had all his brilliant plans culminate in this device which would use focused gravitational waves to pull the moon closer to the Earth.” She gives the synthezoid a moment to process that.
“Now, here’s the question. How can we use a device that would have ruined the tides of the ocean at the best, and caused an extinction level event at worst, for the betterment of all?”
Viv’s eyes glow as she looks over the object, scanning it and running several algorithms as Devra spoke about it. “Interesting.” She stated, eyes unfocused as she instead worked through the information running through her computer mind.
There was the problem. “It is a troublesome issue indeed.” She says, mind wondering what possible solutions there were. “One worry that some have is that the moon is slowly spinning away from the Earth and will one day escape the orbit of the planet. Of course, this issue is millennia away from actually harming the inhabitants of this planet.” But it was a worry some had nonetheless. “If one could effectively calculate an algorithm to negate this, it may be one solution to your question.” Though, it was the only problem she could think of such a device solving.
“However, one may argue that the possible harm this device could bring outweigh any possible benefit it may bring. I may agree with such an assessment, as such a device in the wrong hands may bring about, as you stated, an ‘extinction level event’. So, the best solution may indeed be to destroy such a device before it can be accessed by those who would wish to use it for evil deeds.”
