The Recreation Commons - Fit the Fourth: Lounging with Lal

[Drogue]

Do you? I thought the consitution stated that

From the UN Constitution
The Director of Peacekeeping Operations has the control of all military and covert ops units.
My Bold

Since the Shard Chopper is a military unit, I, as DPO, have control over all of them.

[GeneralTacticus]

You have control over the military, but not civilian police forces and the CDF (which were rendered independant as part of the switch to FM). As the choppers are officially the property of the Centralis CDF and are being used by the civilian police force, they do not fall under your jurisdiction.

[Cedayon]

*neglects to mention the control overrides built into all JV-built choppers, and a certain button on his Board-of-Evil-Buttons*

[Drogue]

GT: You count a Shard Copter as policing? What use could you have for that much weaponry? A scout chopper, with normal guns could be accepted, but as the police units show, you don't need weapons to improve policing, you need non-lethal weaponry.

[DeathByTheSword]

oh my god...a serious conversation in the rec. commons

guards take them away!

[Cedayon]

The Centralian Police Force motto:

Shard Choppers, for those particularly well armed drone riots

[GeneralTacticus]

Precisely Hive saboteurs often bring Impact weapons with them, which make a mockery of the light crowd control weapons our standard police employ.

I didn't realize green-boy was DPO!

[GeneralTacticus]

You should have been around for the election

[Drogue]

Damn right Pres

Although one vote wouldn't have made a difference

[MrWhereItsAt]

Those crowds get rowdier all the time. Shard weapons just won't do any more. Time for the Quantum Laser.

[Maniac]

Wanna have a Xenobrew, Mr. President?

Quantum! For crowd control? I know you like to be safe, but isn't this a little far, even for you MWIA?

Quantum Lasers will not be available outside the military, for 2 reasons. The technology could be easily captured by our enemies if it is not kept under military safeguards, and to prevent unscrupulous persons possibly gaining access to it.

In order to help my boycott of Xenobrew, to protest against TKG's Evil Twin Sea Swiss Cheese Terragforming policy, all non-Xenocorp. drinks are on me. Thanks to a new blackmailing target generous benefactor. We must save Planet

[Cedayon]

Well, to avoid having them fall into Yang's hands I've had our R&D teams configure our new weaponry to self-destruct if in the hands of a Communist.

...

oops, I better let the CCCP know before that shipment shows up at their firing range!

We've gotten 'friendly fire' like that since the '50s back on Earth.
