Failed event | |
| You don your diving gear
You approach the copper bulk of the bomb, fighting against a persistent current. Pulling yourself across its surface, you look for a way to access its valuable interior. Here: a panel. You try to pry it off. The device shudders. An expulsion of silent blackness engulfs you. It devours the light of your ship's beams like a glutton at Sunday dinner. In an instant it kills every lamp on board, every filament-bulb. A passing school of pilot fish are extinguished. Your panicking crew winch you back aboard, and you flee through the pitch dark until your lights begin, limply, to return. | |||
| Successful event | |||
| You don your diving gear
Your ship's lights falter when they fall on the sleeping bomb. Their beams unravel into feeble threads of luminosity, then dissipate. It is difficult, working in the almost-dark, but you manage to retrieve an intricacy - of brass and glass and gleaming gold - without offending the device.
