[GBW] - Free Build - Deland Republic - ICICLE

[Mirror1810]

In a dark back alley in a classified location, agents of the Deland Republic are buying the formular for a material known only under the codename ICICLE from an anonymus seller.

In order to make sure the situation doesn't get out control, agents have been positioned all around the location in order to immediatly pacify possible attackers.

After transporting the package to an underground lab in [REDACTED], far away from the eyes of the BoN, it is watched over by Dr. Keiler, one of the nations best scientists.

He and two assistants look on nervously, as two workers in chemical protection suits approach the apparatus known as "The Forge", in order to begin the process of creating an ICICLE instance.

The order is given! "Begin!" is heard through the workers radios.

As heat fills the room and flames sprout out of the machine, two cities nearby experience a blackout because of the immense power required by the lab. After a few seconds of total silence, one of the workers announces through the radio that the process was successful. He pulls a glowing blue sphere out of the curcible, that gives of immense heat. The scientist watch in tension, as the unstable material exits the flames.

Then a mighty bang is heard. Less than a second later, the machine is incinerated in a powerful explosion. The unstable material sets free an incredibly hot and acidic fluid, that covers the workers as they are thrown back by the blast. While his assistants are visibly shook, Dr. Keiler seems unbothered by the explosion.

One worker is thrown against the wall and dies immediatly, as the acid quickly dissolves his lower body, the other one is not so lucky. The young man screams in shock and pain, as the fluid chews through his suit and dissolves his hand in the blink of an eye. As he calls for the scientists to help him, Dr. Keiler has diverts his attention to the floor where the machine was standing only a few secnds ago. There, inbetween the acid that's slowly making it way through the steel and concrete, a glowing blue sphere can be seen. They had managed to stabilise the ICICLE. His thoughts are interrupted by his assistants, that pressure him to help the young man in the testing chamber, but the Dr. answers in a cold voice: "No! Zhis ist zhe perfect opportunity to see zhe effects of unstable ICICLE on zhe human body. Maybe it has potential as a weapon too." For a few minutes, Dr. Keiler watches as the crying and screaming worker begs for help, while the fluid continues to dissolve more and more of his body in an insanely painful way.

After one more minute, silence fills the room, only interrupted by the man's last gasps for air, then even that stops.

Research will continue on ICICLE, for the potential of its stabilized form to be used as a weapon.

(Disclaimer: Stabilized ICICLE isn't acidic in any way, it just makes explosives more powerful, think of it as similar to the depleted Uranium used in Abrahams ammo. So, no BoN offense.)

The lab is nicely built. Seems sturdy enough to contain the mysterious substance the scientists are playing with. The purchase scene in the back alley is good too. I like the brickwork and the dumpster.

That's a very good scene! Love all of this! Maybe we will see the ICICLE as weapon of mass destruction in future... maybe

You earned 8 points. I like how you did the walls in the alley.
