name = "Precursor Alpha Weapon - Appendageheld Laser"
desc = "This object strongly resembles a weapon, and if one were to pull the \
trigger located on the handle of the object, it would fire a deadly \
laser at whatever it was pointed at. The beam fired appears to cause too \
much damage to whatever it would hit to have served as a long ranged repair tool, \
therefore this object was most likely designed to be a deadly weapon. If so, this \
has several implications towards its creators;\
<br><br>\
Firstly, it implies that these precursors, at some point during their development, \
had needed to defend themselves, or otherwise had a need to utilize violence, and \
as such created better tools to do so. It is unclear if violence was employed against \
themselves as a form of in-fighting, or if violence was exclusive to outside species.\
<br><br>\
Secondly, the shape and design of the weapon implies that the creators of this \
weapon were able to grasp objects, and be able to manipulate the trigger independently \
from merely holding onto the weapon, making certain types of appendages like tentacles be \
unlikely.\
<br><br>\
An interesting note about this weapon, when compared to contemporary energy weapons, is \
that this gun appears to be inferior to modern laser weapons. The beam fired has less \
of an ability to harm, and the power consumption appears to be higher than average for \
a human-made energy side-arm. One possible explaination is that the creators of this \
weapon, in their later years, had less of a need to optimize their capability for war, \
and instead focused on other endeavors. Another explaination is that vast age of the weapon \
may have caused it to degrade, yet still remain functional at a reduced capability."
