Huh. Turns out that not only does the mini death-ray destroy things, but if I reduce the power output of the light, it starts to ever so slightly push things as well.

Now, I'm not saying that Delmar and I have been playing Space Pinball with a mini version of the mini death-ray, but... yeah, we've been playing Space Pinball with a mini mini death-ray. Obviously, we've got strong eye protection to shield us from the low power laser, but it's actually quite fun trying to use nothing but the force of light to move a ball of tinfoil around the room.

Essentially, the tinfoil acts as a solar sail, and since it's such a small and light object, and the laser is focused on a single point on it, it makes for a pretty fun game of bouncing tinfoil balls off of random objects.

I still haven't heard any word on progress on the portal, however.

At least the food is decent this time.

What could've happened to Ranell? Mob attack? Earthquake? All nighters that have required for him to now listen to TV static to stay awake because coffee has no effect anymore?
