With Chronicler deciding to recklessly deploy nuclear weaponry across the entire battlefield, the bats have decided to unleash their secret weapon: the Nukebreaker, a mech suit specifically designed to take down any and all threats.
The Nukebreaker is prepared for every eventuality, sporting magnetic claws for stripping mites of their needles, a pair of heavy-duty flamethrowers for roasting them, a close-combat saw blade, twin gas dispensers connected to a tank full of bug spray on the back, a shoulder mounted rocket launcher, machine guns, and, most importantly, a pair of huge missile-sniping cannons either side of the cockpit for eliminating any projectiles fired at it.
Surprisingly the Geneva conventions make no mention (to my knowledge) of flamethrowers, however if it did I’m certain it would fall here
Employing weapons, projectiles and material and methods of warfare which are of a nature to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering or which are inherently indiscriminate in violation of the international law of armed conflict, provided that such weapons, projectiles and material and methods of warfare are the subject of a comprehensive prohibition and are included in an annex to this Statute, by an amendment in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth in articles 121 and 123;
Gonna say that’s
Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health;
This one’s a bit situational but….
Killing or wounding a combatant who, having laid down his arms or having no longer means of defence, has surrendered at discretion;
There’s quite a few this falls under
Employing poison or poisoned weapons;
Employing asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases, and all analogous liquids, materials or devices;
Actually I’m pretty sure it mentions flamethrowers by name. However, I’m gonna have to say that the Geneva convention doesn’t apply here, seeing as the mites’ primary weapons are under the umbrella term of “chemical warfare”… so yeah.
