Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
The ray-gun used by Retik, the ruler of the moon people, is of a very inefficient design, as it will only fire a single shot before needing to be reloaded, a process that takes a surprisingly long time. [Much like the fire-locks, flint-locks and other muskets that were one shot and took a long time to reload. Who knows how technology advanced on the Moon for the moon people. Maybe that was their first creation of a ray-gun.]
