Proposal: NieR Automata lasers&EMP should count as light speed.

2) Origin: They always originate from some sort of mechanical/technological source. For the Pod program, in cutscene you can see the laser being fired out of a lens.

Lenses are used on cameras & optical lasers for manipulating light, including refracting it. So additional proof?
