It features "smart bombs" that are capable of having philosophical debates on metaphysics and the meaning of life, and must be coaxed into returning to their bays if armed by some sort of false alarm. Being fired at a target and exploding being the culmination of their lives' purpose (a kind of achieving Nirvana, if you will), they anticipate the opportunity eagerly, and get angsty and argumentative when they're denied an opportunity.
