STACY WE NEED YOUR NUKE WE NEED IT NOW

Have someone arm the nuke and chuck it into the cloud.

((How do you plan to throw it? With your hands? Because I can tell you the nuke's blast radius is bigger than throwing distance.))

((Perhaps a kinetic amp could propel it further...))

((i have one of those, iirc.))

[Harry Baldman]

((This may, in fact, be the wrongest that a mission might have possibly ever gone. If the nuke doesn't work, somebody should contemplate the possibility of overloading another manipulator by heating the entire black nuke area. Maybe they'll form a nascent sun that'll keep the Ice-9 away.))

((The question is, would the nuke still work afterwards.))

((So now a Second Sunrise is actually desired? I wonder how long a 30-round magazine of explosives and Clf₃ will stall it for. Probably not long.))

((...Oh. This is what Empiracist was talking about. That...makes sense. Geez.))

STACY WE NEED YOUR NUKE WE NEED IT NOW
Have someone arm the nuke and chuck it into the cloud.
Get every person with a heat amp to help me create a shield around our party (which should group together) that will keep temperature normal inside it until the storm subsides.

((This is just about the only time is will fix more than it breaks. DO IT DO IT!))

And your suits do protect you from near absolute zero temperatures, but I don't think they protect you from eldritch ice9.))

((The biggest issue would be moving in the frozen air.))

((This may, in fact, be the wrongest that a mission might have possibly ever gone. If the nuke doesn't work, somebody should contemplate the possibility of overloading another manipulator by heating the entire black nuke area. Maybe they'll form a nascent sun that'll keep the Ice-9 away.))

((Yes, because the best solution is to do the same thing you just did to make the disaster, but backwards.))

"Miss Feyri! Now! NOW! RUN!"
Run. If Tiruin shows up and posts a running-based action, follow Ms. Feyri. If he does but doesn't post a running action, run after as many of the other members of the team as possible. If Tiruin doesn't post, do the same but drag Ms. Feyri along.

((Since I have the most skill with amps here then, I'll do the overload. EVERYONE ELSE WITH AN AMP, MAKE THE SHIELD.

((The question is, would the nuke still work afterwards.))

((I'm not an expert on this, but is there any chance that the amount of force suddenly applied by the kinetic amp might detonate the nuke?))

[Empiricist]

((Exactly. It may be partially detonated or disabled by the amp hit.))

[Thearpox]

((Exactly. It may be partially detonated or disabled by the amp hit.))

((Detonate is different from disable. One kills you, one doesn't.))

[Harry Baldman]

((Since I have the most skill with amps here then, I'll do the overload. EVERYONE ELSE WITH AN AMP, MAKE THE SHIELD.

((Your amp is in your brain. This means that the sun will be centered on your head, if it works at all. This means that you will die, and everybody within a mile radius of you is likely to die as well.))

((I'm not an expert on this, but is there any chance that the amount of force suddenly applied by the kinetic amp might detonate the nuke?))

((I don't think you can detonate a nuke with just an impact. You might damage its detonation mechanism beyond usability with the punch, though.

In addition, some kind fellow could mug Feyri for her MKIII suit, then use it to fly above the Ice-9 and drop the nuke from there - it was (in a slightly different iteration) how I thought I could do an airburst.))

[Empiricist]

((Unless it's a fission nuke and has its materials arranged as a hollow sphere in which case deforming it could make it go critical.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Fission? What is this, the 20th century?))

[Thearpox]

((Fission? What is this, the 20th century?))

((And how else would it work? As far as I'm concerned, a nuke works by joining two or more halves or uranium together, at which point it goes boom. You think it works any different in the future?

Pyrodesu would be very helpful here.))

((That would be the smart way to do it. Oh well.))

[Xantalos]

((No, so I should try something else.
Guess we're relying on nukes then.))

((Fusion, perhaps? H-bombs exist now.))

[Empiricist]

((Do we even know if it would counter that entropy bomb we just set off?))
