Control
The unstable radioactive marbles disintegrate on contact—act swiftly to shatter the decaying chain before it surges into the firing mechanism. If even a single link reaches the ignition point, the night will erupt in a cataclysmic blast. Target their fragile cores, disrupt the reaction, and prevent the cascade from detonating. Fail, and the explosion will obliterate everything.
description
Deep within the classified labs of the Atomic Weapons Institute, researchers racing to unlock next-generation fission technology stumbled upon an unstable breakthrough—spherical cores of condensed radioactive isotopes capable of triggering city-leveling explosions once accelerated through a magnetic launch chamber. Dubbed "Hell's Beads" by lab staff, these reactor-grade orbs promised unprecedented energy yields… until field tests revealed a fatal flaw. The cores’ decay shielding failed under pressure, igniting fusion spikes milliseconds *before* leaving the barrel. Six prototypes and two containment labs later, the project was scrapped. Internal memos still classify the incident as "Building 7’s Unplanned Rapid Disassembly."
