Net Zero on Moonbase Alpha
Net Zero, #8
Reeks: Net Zero
Jay Toney
- The
- choice
- of
- simulations
- is
- out
- of
- Ariel's
- and
- Jenna's
- hands.
- Since
- taking
- over
- as
- NASTI's
- financial
- benefactor,
- Persephone
- and
- Hades
- have
- been
- thrusting
- them
- into
- simulations
- with
- increasing
- peril.In
- this
- simulation,
- they
- find
- themselves
- on
- Moonbase
- Alpha.
- Something
- is
- amiss
- with
- the
- nuclear
- storge
- facility.
- Eagle
- pilots
- are
- returning
- with
- what
- looks
- like
- radiation
- burns,
- but
- no
- radioactivity
- is
- detected.
- No
- alarms
- have
- sounded,
- radiation
- sensors
- at
- the
- waste
- facility,
- five
- silos
- dug
- deep
- into
- lunar
- basalt,
- show
- safe
- levels
- of
- radiation.
- Ariel
- and
- Jenna
- are
- sent
- to
- investigate
- in
- person.This
- is
- their
- harshest
- assignment
- yet:
- investigating
- Moonbase
- Alpha's
- nuclear
- waste
- facility,
- underground
- containment
- chambers
- containing
- hundreds
- of
- tons
- of
- volatile
- uranium-235
- and
- plutonium-239
- reclaimed
- from
- disarmed
- warheads,
- spent
- reactor
- fuel
- rods,
- and
- other
- hazardous
- radioactive
- waste.They
- discover
- something
- is
- terribly
- wrong,
- and
- work
- to
- stave
- off
- a
- chain
- reaction
- that
- may
- lead
- to
- nuclear
- fission.
- Are
- they
- too late?
