''In order to explain this, I need to explain Kessler Syndrome. As an [[Exo]], I feel a duty to the machine to convey its original purpose. But first: ACD stands for Active Contact Defense. It is not an AC-DC Feedback Fence, and it is not named for any work of pre-classical music. I am not winking. That is a malfunction.'' | ''In order to explain this, I need to explain Kessler Syndrome. As an [[Exo]], I feel a duty to the machine to convey its original purpose.

''Kessler Syndrome occurs when a planet's orbitals fill up with fast-moving debris, which strikes other debris and shatters it in a chain reaction. Soon you can't put up a satellite without it being shredded by a swarm of junk. To protect against debris, Golden Age warsats are shielded by a kinetic superconductor that transforms a punch into a charge.'' | ''Kessler Syndrome occurs when a planet's orbitals fill up with fast-moving debris, which strikes other debris and shatters it in a chain reaction.
