"I thought he didn't have the nuke proofing technology yet - if he does than today was pretty pointless." Star says. "Are you sure you didn't confuse the towers he's been dropping with the special one linked to the drill? We already knew it supposed to absorb nuclear weapon attacks, and we've mentioned the possibility that some kind of portal device is going to be the payload."
"Those simulations would be pretty horrible if you think it actually happening in a crowded area. I can see why you'd freak out about it, especially with the complications from your injuries and the ensueing confusion. Maybe you should head back to the infirmary."
"Maybe that's what he was doing before he started this whole mess."
"No... Not that." Hope shook her head. "It... was real. I felt it, saw it. I. You saw what happened, the blood.." she looked down at herself, remembering the pain. "The first time I ever had a post-cognitive vision. I went into cardiac arrest. This is real, it's going to happen, we have to stop it," she said quietly, firmly, hugging herself, trying to fight back the terrible images. "Please, believe me. Remember how it felt when I showed you what the spider demon did to his victims? Compound that by a factor of a million plus. That's what's going to happen if we don't stop this from happening," she bit her lip.
"It's not just one tower. It's all of them. Every single last one has the payload and the shields. Every single one is in a populated area. If his enemies started to attack the towers, then the fallout would reach the populance. Instant fuel. That's what he wants!"
