Let's return to playing Galactic Civilizations II - the HARD mode.

[Mercenary Pen]

So plug a few high drain machines to the battery backup. Coffee makers are a good example. Those heating elements sure do require a lot of power.

I can go one better... Hairdryers- lots of hairdryers. We then use those to heat up the AI's superconducting circuitry so that it doesn't function at anywhere close to full energy efficiency and not only are we draining the batteries, we're also hampering its ability to run during the time it has left.

[Triaxx]

Don't know about you, but I'm paying extra for the deluxe ascension so I can destroy the universe and rule supreme from on high, pushing my pawns as I please.

Besides, the Robot Destroying the universe with a bomb is a joke that no one has gotten yet.

[kamikasei]

It's not much of an ascension if it leaves you with a physical-layer dependency.

Dark Star?

[Terraoblivion]

The joke reminds me of something, but i cannot put my finger on it.

[Triaxx]

Actually the expansion to Total Annihilation with CORE trying to set off an implosion device as it's contingency. But I figured Implosion would have given it away.

Guess not...

[Cubey]

And we might have done the same here, but I promised no giant robots in this GalCiv LP.

[Tome]

Just one giant robot? Or a terror star?

[Triaxx]

This one isn't giant. It's only six-foot tall.
