Pfft. It's easy to take down though.
There's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port, that leads directly to the reactor.

I'm off to practice on some womp rats. Always pays to be prepared.

You've got a T-16?
Don't forget to develop a ridiculous haircut and an annoying whiney voice.

Some wacky Americans haven't read/understood their own much vaunted constitution The US constitution has been under attack since the day it was signed into force by white supremacist landowners for white supremacist landowners. Although it's fair to say its demise has been hastened over the last twenty years. Most Americans don't know the constitution was partially dissolved two days after 9/11 by George W. Bush & Dick Cheney in favour of an extremely disturbing form of martial law which permits the use of warrantless surveillance, wire-tapping, arrest without charge, secret internment camps for "enemies of the state" etc. and is free from congressional oversight. This form of government by decree first came to light during the Iran-Contra hearings when Republican senator Jack Brookes, who clearly hadn't read the script, quizzed North on a rumour he'd heard about something called "Continuity of Government" and North filled his pants Interestingly, one of the key architects of "CoG" was Donald Rumsfeld. That's not surprising in itself. What is is the fact that he was working in the private sector at the time. Less surprising is the 9/11 Commission's failure to inquire about how and why someone not just outside of government but on the wrong side is able to draft plans for the dissolving of the constitution.
