soldiers in their use.
    Now that you’ve had a very basic download – think about the ones you’ve used, and the ones that would be most easily manufactured. Which ones would you want if you could have your pick?
    I saw a few weapons I’d like to have had, but it’s the defense I saw I’d like first.
    I can perceive what you liked, and think those are the best choices. We’ll need to form our own corporation first, and here’s how to do that…
    Business information started pouring into my head, and then lists of local lawyers that had handled similar situations, and likely fees.
    The next day I awoke to find a file on my computer containing a typed account of all my new ideas I had made in the past twenty-five years. The file contained the word-for-word conversations, the circumstances, and the fine details. It contained research showing where the persons (the ones I had told my ideas), had patented the ideas, made money from them, or just claimed credit. Corey said he did it last night. He also had done a search for likely property sites to house my new corporation, and we were going to scope out prospects later today. Lawyers had been contacted, hired, given assignments, and were to have the first draft of paperwork completed in a couple of days for my incorporation. They had been sent suggested documents with obvious flaws.
    Corey said if no flaws were included – the lawyers would become suspicious, and we wanted them to think it was their own, fine work. If they missed the flaws we would ask innocent questions that would propel them to revise the documents. We went looking for buildings, and found the perfect monolithic building in the outskirts – way away from everything in Cary, North Carolina. Super sturdy, and huge, ultra-modern design had left this white elephant on the market for eleven months. The real estate agent nearly started telling the truth it had been on the market so long. We saw it was off the beaten path, and had inadequate electrical service, and sewers. We mentioned that, and the agent just sputtered, and lowered the price a few times ‘til I felt embarrassed at how cheap they would lease it, and I said okay to his price. I signed a five-year lease with options. Transferring the money sealed the deal. It’s amazing what a few million in the bank will do to expedite agreements if you’re willing to spend a bit of it.
    I decided to call the corporation, AcuMint, a play-on-words to AcumenIT – a company in South Carolina where I first learned about computers. I also planned on making a mint of money. I discussed equipment with Corey, and he had accessed most of the entire Net – not much was beyond his reach. We started ordering equipment we’d need to manufacture the first prototypes. Rapid prototype 3D printers were available for metals, ceramic, carbon nanotube, and polymers. We ordered those, and other fabrication machinery, and materials, and started looking for personnel.
    I decided we’d start building prototypes of four devices.
    The first was an ultrasonic machete. It didn’t have to be sharp, and it’d cut through stone. It was powered with conventionally available batteries that were easily rechargeable. It would cut through a steel column. You didn’t have to drag it through it cut so fast – wow. It wasn’t that much a stretch to current tech. It would be light, and cheaply manufactured, carried by hand, and would cut through about any damn thing on, or off the planet.
    The second weapon was a handgun sized stun gun that would project two parallel ultraviolet laser beams. These beams would ionize the air (it would only work in atmosphere). You could place a tetanizing charge that would follow the path of the ionized air, and would apply a tetanizing charge to exposed skin – and invisible to the naked eye – Taser like…should work on any exposed skin surface.
    Next was a rifle firing a pulsed laser – a ‘pulse’ rifle? The power for this, and the handgun was
