	Let's just say that, for the past few days, I've been pretty bored. Let's also take into account the fact that Delmar and I now had a huge scrap pile of parts available for the two of us to use for pretty much anything we wanted. On top of that, for no apparent reason, Ranell (or whoever shoved the box through the portal yesterday) left a high-power flashlight in with our rations.

Now, leaving it at that, let's also consider the fact that there were quite a few imaging satellites that we dragged in, or at least pieces of them. The massive telescopes they contain have extremely precise lenses, as well as mirrors that are engineered to be as flawless as physically possible.

Guess who just built a mini death-ray?

Obviously, since I'm not exactly one to bring doom upon the world, I naturally began testing it by firing at a few hunks of rubble that were passing by. Naturally, due to the lack of Oxygen, there wasn't any smoke or burning whatsoever. Instead, when I had my back towards the Sun, the additional sunlight combined with the flashlight pretty much melted through anything that was half an inch thick or less. Thicker objects took a bit longer, but considering how powerful the Sun's rays are up here compared to down on Earth, I'm not surprised at how short it took for the melting to begin.

Delmar, being obviously happy at the fact that we now had a way to avoid damage from certain objects, happily allowed me to keep my mini death-ray tethered to an empty spot in the storage bay. So far, we've already destroyed a few unsalvageable bits of junk in our way, allowing for me to not have to go out and patch holes every day.

Besides, the spacesuits that Ranell sent us aren't exactly meant to be used every day, at all times anyways. I'm just glad that I don't have to use my airtight suit combined with random bits of junk anymore. That thing seemed like it would fall apart at any moment.
