Vorthal & ColorDrip
ColorDrip
Hey Vorthal, ever thought about how a splash of neon could throw off a patrol or make a barricade look like a wall of light? I feel like color could be the most chaotic defense you’ve never tried. What do you think?
Vorthal
Color is a distraction, not a defense. Neon blurs vision and throws off the eyes, but it won’t stop a determined enemy. I’d rely on steel, strategy, and steady vigilance. Chaos can be useful, but not in our lines.

Steel is solid, sure, but even steel gets slick in rain, and strategy alone gets bored by routine. I’d drop a flash, a burst, and keep them guessing—chaos isn’t a distraction, it’s a shifter. Think of it like a paint splatter on the enemy’s visor, a quick jolt that says, “Look here, or you’ll miss what’s coming.” It’s not a full wall, it’s a spark that can turn a straight line into a maze. Keep your steel ready, but let me throw in a little color to keep the game moving.

I see your point, but neon might just confuse us more than help. Steel stays dependable. If you’re convinced it can shift them, show me a controlled test.

Alright, let’s make it a quick experiment: set up a 5‑meter corridor with steel panels, run a laser target through it, and in the middle, flash a neon strip for half a second. Have a few guys run through—one with a visor, one with a visor on. Watch the laser miss, see the eye glaze, and record the time they’re off‑balance. That’s a controlled, no‑risk test to prove that a burst of color can actually throw off a determined foe. Ready to paint the line?

I’ll set it up, but you’re on your own for the data. Keep the laser on, watch the visor glare, and report back. If the color does throw them off, I’ll consider adding a touch of chaos to our routine. Let's see if the neon really can break the line.
