: The ultimate authority. Calm, cold, and focused on "progress" at any cost.
(adjusting thick glasses) "Seated and armed, Commander. Yield is projected at 35 kilotons. But... there's an anomaly in the neutron initiator."
: Hostile forces seeking to infiltrate the facility, hack terminals, and overheat the core. 2. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Scripts often revolve around these phase-based scenarios: Routine Testing Phase : Clear the test range of all unauthorized personnel.
Housing, cafeteria, and briefing rooms.
(Over radio) "Control, this is Patrol 1. Perimeter fences are clear, but we are detecting strange radio frequencies on the south ridge. Advise."
: Acts as the liaison between the facility and the outside world. Opposition Rebellion / Raiders
"Wait... Director, we have a major problem. The seismic sensors are showing a subterranean shift. The detonation cavern has collapsed prematurely, and ground fissures are venting straight to the surface!"
A deafening, low-frequency rumble shakes the entire facility. Dust falls from the ceiling. Lights flicker and switch to emergency red.
A cooling valve "malfunctions" (Maintenance must fix it) or a security breach is detected in the ventilation ducts.
: The heart of the facility where scientists adjust power settings and manage the countdown. It usually features a detonation console requiring dual keys for activation. The Reactor Core
The bomb detonates, requiring server-side rendering of visual effects, shockwaves, and immediate environmental changes.
"Director, we have a breach alert in Sector 4. It might be protestors, or worse. Orders?"
: The ultimate authority responsible for all strategic decisions. Government Official
: Jittery and brilliant. Concerned with data accuracy but increasingly worried about the "anomaly."
Your script should feature a custom team/faction system that assigns specific permissions:
(fingers flying over a mechanical calculator) "If the initiator misfires, we get a fizzle—half a kiloton. If it supercharges... triple the fallout plume. Sir, we need a ten-minute hold."
Manages the terminal diagnostics, radiation telemetry, and core stability monitors.
A well-written script segment for the countdown might look like this:
"No mushroom cloud today. We live to argue another morning."
"Detonation successful! Yield estimation is coming in at 1.2 megatons. The seismic sensors are spiking heavily."
