Teleportation and skydiving... mmmm 22k all day... sweet

...and add in 2.1 Gigawatts of power...

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

It's 1.21 gigawatts, to be correct.

Otherwise the the flux capacitors won't "go".

Question : Will the system Fail-Safe, if other Blue Assets 'could' be hit by the outgoing stuff?

That question raises some very difficult yet interesting questions.

If the system can detect other friendlies could get hurt, it has a decision to make. Well, it needs to be programmed for that decision.

So, do you allow one friendly to die to save 5? What if the one is a 4 star general and the 5 are privates? The list goes on and on.

It is likely not making such determinations. If the Doppler is greater than X (i.e. a fast incoming missile) and the rate in az/el is below Y (i.e. it's going to hit or come close) then predict location in 500 milliseconds, aim and fire. If not, don't fire. No moral issues there, really.

Nope, not in that scenario. Though with technological advances, once might run into questions like the one I posted above.
