[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5920048, member: 19675"] And you've pointed out it's main limitations: short range and meeting its gaze. In our wired world, those conditions may be hard to meet. Odds are good that access to sensitive persons- POTUS and other world leaders- would be barred by the personnel in the monitoring stations who can lock & unlock doors. (Yes, I know he can teleport, but he might not have the neccessary info to scry properly...) I mean, SOMEBODY out there will be at least as smart as Odysseus (or smarter, and not risk their own life and eschew his own advice) and prevent significant forces from being subject to its Charm. 1) That assumes the LeaShay manages to control POTUS before the codes are either transmitted or passed down to the VP or whomever is next available in the chain of succession amidst the conflict (I know the progression, but I'm making no assumptions about who has been compromised). 2) if nukes were the final viable option and POTUS had been compromised before transmitting or passing the codes, you can bet that someone would contact the other nuclear powers. The odds of the LeShay having simultaneously disabled the nuclear option for ALL of the world's nuclear powers- known and unknown- is pretty slim. I have no doubt someone out there would decide it's better to make the USA glow in the dark than let the LeShay take over the world. [/QUOTE]
