Chaos 101
Why would static electricity hold them in check you ask? Simply because I say so damn it. No seriously, electromagnestism is the most stable of the 4 forces in the entire multiverse. Meaning it's power level is pretty stable through out every single universe and in the Aether between. This makes it the weapon of choice among the ancients. Electromagnetism, being a pretty constant universal force, is also the best way to force chaos to not form into chaos spawn and activly 'null' matter into more chaos particles. This makes Chaos infinetly easier to clean up (it doesn't bite back after all)
On a side note, I apologize for the grittiness of the paper... bad scanner, very bad scanner, won't happen again I assure you.
reality of sci fi
If the Choas monsters, who are .5km away from the ship and have no charge, are hit with 200teracouloumbs of electricity, what is the electrostatic potential created by the ship before the lightning is shot at the monsters?
Assume the electricity only travels to the monsters.
