"Let's plant it on the wall, then you shoot it." Adrian reviews the equipment of everyone around him.
"No need."
Mason places the explosive on the wall, beckons everyone to get as far back as possible to avoid debris if the explosive turns out to be too powerful, and attempts to superheat a dime-sized point in the center of the explosive, detonating it.

He takes a deep breath and focuses on it, picturing a dime sized sphere in its center.
