. The Company Is Named For It'S First
Product, The Orbital Mirror, Both A
Passive Sentinel And An Active Torch:
Set To It'S Widest Configuration It
Will Light Up A Whole City At Night,
And At Its Narrowest It Becomes A Laser
To Cut Through Mountain And Metal.
^ Still Unsold Prototypes By The Time
. When That Something Was Found On That ^
Beach, Now The Mirrors Are All Used To
Beam Energy At Different Mirr
^ Implements, As A Rather Static And
Boring Power Source. (And Subtle Threat
Of Violence.)
