->'''Kirk:''' Bones, did you ever hear of a doomsday machine?\\
'''[=McCoy:=]''' No. [[ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder I'm a doctor, not a mechanic]].\\
'''Kirk:''' It's a weapon built primarily as a bluff. It's never meant to be used. So strong, it could destroy both sides in a war. Something like the old H-Bomb was supposed to be. That's what I think this is. A doomsday machine that somebody used in a war uncounted years ago. [[GoneHorriblyRight They don't exist anymore]], but the machine is still destroying.

->"A Tesla device of that magnitude could focus electro-magnetic waves of terrible consequence upon any point in the world! An organisation that controlled such power could plunge us all into a new Dark Age! They could detonate intra-global bombardment rockets on their launch pads, shut down the energy webs of our cities, devastate countries through natural disasters, make women give up their virginity in torrid orgies--"\\
"So why does our government have such a weapon in the first place?"\\

->The only weapon of use in the modern world is the vast and terrible one which cannot be understood or defended against, whose shadow will be a block on the dreams of madmen; a weapon so awful that the world cannot survive its use, so that no one would use it save [[TakingYouWithMe in the moment of their own inevitable destruction]], and no one seek or allow the destruction of the one whose hand is on the hilt, lest they find the blade cuts every throat on Earth.
