✪ voice;

When I was a kid, FDR would do these little— he'd come on the radio, and he'd sound cheery, and he could talk about all kinds of awful things. Poverty, and debt, and then war. [ His voice drifts off, for a second. ] And no matter how bad it all got, he could make you feel safe. I was always crap at that. I can't make you feel safe. But some stuff you've gotta know anyway, I figure.

I got a copy of one of the UE's field guides, and what it says is that the Black Code is the all-clear for a nuclear warhead drop, then carpet bombing. They have… fancier nukes now, I guess, with more than one point of impact on drop.

Now you know.

...well, what in the hell are we supposed to do about that?

I have seen talk of this on the Network all day. What is a nuclear warhead?

[ the name attached to this account reads Haruka Takahashi ]

Of course. Better than being taken by complete surprise, at least.

Any idea how many people there are around here who can teleport, do you know?

A fucking NUKE? What the hell? How the fuck do we dodge that?

[But fuck. They're all dead, that's what that means.]

[She feels sick.]

Have you told the Initiative?

[It's all she can do to keep her voice from shaking.]

[ A part of her has always expected to hear something along these lines one of these days in Exsilium.

Yet her head spins anyway. ]

Jesus.

I'm not unfamiliar with nuclear power, but I didn't think it was impressive enough to be used as a proper weapon.

[Makes her wonder what the Kappa are scheming back home.]

Fuck.

[A string of curses in Nerakese are also uttered.]

Any idea how soon?

...And they're gonna have soldiers set up all around the island to shoot at us if try to evacuate.

[A pause]

...Fuck.

No idea what a nuclear warhead is but I'm gettin' the feelin' that it ain't something easily dismantled, huh?

Stopping it might be impossible. We don't know if they can launch it (if it's only one, which I doubt it) from anywhere in the world, or even the space. They might even try and bomb us in the past, considering how fucked up this place is.

We need to be gone before they do anything.

[More bombings he understood but...]

Pardon me Messer, but what is a nuclear warhead? From your speech I gather the catacomb would not be enough protection from it?

[It seems like everyone else just hearing this news has the panicking part covered, but it's hard not to contribute when a single word of that grim pronouncement is enough to wipe the rest of his mind blank.]

So they could have done that at any time, and they're picking now.

[He sounds serious, but unruffled--] Guess we better see if we've got a way to deal with that, huh.

A nuke's gonna be tough.

Then we know what has to come next.

Oh, for fuck's sake. I thought I was done with nukes ten years ago.

Please tell me the Initiative has a backup for this.
