Siphoning Off The Reactor

Earlier on the reactor floor.

Jake had no trouble getting down there. The humongous Hunter he had just frozen to death had made his way up to his floor, leaving a ridiculously large hole in his wake. While the chamber containing the radioactive fusion material was still holding together, its temperature had already reached a critical level.

Not to mention ending up charred, peeking at the reactor walls, even from a distance, was a sure way to end up severely irradiated. Without a special constitution, the victims would at first suffer superficial burns reminiscent of a sunburn. But deep down, the DNA of their cells would already have been irreversibly damaged. Their organs would eventually rot and then liquefy as their vital functions deteriorated.
