No, that would interfere with the circuitry.

I see why not for the top hat, after all best case scenario It get's irradiated and we can launch it onto our enemies.

A proper computer capable of running an AI would be in an airtight vacuum chamber. There is unlikely to be any room whatsoever for a tophat. Not to mention the AI would refuse to allow something that could heavily damage its circuits via static electricity.

All right so what will be our protocol regarding prisoners and local aliens? I suggest slave labor but the more opinions the better!

No slave labor, you can't trust slaves to work on sensitive equipment.

Diplomacy first. Should diplomacy fail, pacify them.

Stabbing the local population tends to pacify people. :P

Will the pacification involve hooks or flintlocks in any way?

There will be no hooks, we have better prosthetics.

Flintlocks are outdated, we will be using better weaponry.

I don't think the design of a flintlock makes for a functional laser.

Actually, it'd probably be a really good design since flintlocks are normally longer and have bigger handles.

Lasers have no recoil. A larger handle will bring no benefit.
