Who has that remote satellite destruction ray thingee? Gopher? I NEED IT.

A pair of massive metal doors begin screeching in protest as they seperate
very slowly to reveal the star-pocked night sky overhead. The movement of the
panels generates random shudders throughout the cylindrical enclosure.
As the doors near their 'open' position, a man in a chair, suspended from
an enormous telescoping weapon, spins a collection of worn, brass wheels.
The weapon looms over the observer on the floor, rotating swiftly on an
axis of oiled metal tubes and bearings. The panels lock upon reaching the
'open' position and the weapon 'clinks' to a halt. Suddenly a low, cyclic hum
stirs the soles of your feet. The weapon comes to life, its length aglow with
a growing amber hue. The weapon begins to pulse, awaiting the release of its
energy as the man suddenly turns to you and says,

"Coordinates?"
