The Story
"At approximately 0900 hours, we intercepted a distress call from the UAC base on Phobos. From the video footage that has leaked to public airwaves, it looks like a teleporter experiment went awry, opening a portal to some hellish dimension. The entire base has been overrun with creatures from the other side of the portal, and both the Union Aerospace Military Division and reportedly the Research Crime Prevention Agency are doing their best to dispatch and rescue what remains of the personnel.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect opportunity.

If you recall, the Martian Surface Excavation Unit discovered tablets and other artifacts left over by an ancient race called the "Praeleanthor". These would go for unprecedented amounts of money if we could somehow procure them, and amiss the chaos at Phobos, we would have the prime opportunity to retrieve them. Your objectives are simple.

• Retrieve the Martian artifacts.
  
• Assassinate any and all RCPA personnel. We need to keep our tracks clean.

Good luck Mel."

Note that this is an unclamped version, the more reasonable version can't go through an infinite number of enemies like this one can. At full charge it also only deals a roughly average bfg fire (projectile and tracers) worth of damage if it hits the max amount of monsters allowed.

Also newer version uses quadratic and cubic bezel curves instead of straight lines:

Is that based off of a lot of projectiles or some fancy new rendering code?

It's spawning a bunch of actors, yeah. If you want to read the specifics it's on the git.

There's no lag or slowdown that accompanies this; even on my pitiful netbook from 2008.
