Does the description of the technology in this article sound a little bit... Roller Coaster Tycoon to anyone else? I mean in that game you literally can deploy anything to anywhere, including entertainment you didn't have toll 30 seconds ago, add extra ride vehicles with a click, etc.

Wait, they have Characterized Work Walls? How do the SG's handle the moving walls? Are you sure you're not on some sort of medication combined with copious amounts of pixie dust?
