Author's Response: Yeah, I've seen this kind of weapon pop up all over the place since I wrote this. In fact, it probably was around long before I wrote it too. Most memorably a similar weapon on a larger scale appeared in the last Kelvin-verse Trek movie. Unquestioned loyalty to a single man is almost always a terrible idea. It's the great tragedy of human history that we struggle to learn that lesson.

Interesting adversary in the hives - I don't think we'll have to wait for faster than light travel to see something similar unleashed on a battlefield. Or on civilian populations.
The theme of this story about conflicting loyalties to a democratic culture or to a charismatic leader could not be more timely, considering what our culture is currently going through with fascist movements cropping up throughout western civilization.
Thanks!! rbs
