He gave her a grin, before taking a seat at the table. "Before or after everyone has started hitting?"<br/><br/>He grinned, and stared at the wall, before shaking his head. "I had two experiments going in the ultra secure lab, which no one other than myself will EVER have access to. One of them was seeing how stable balefire was after being formed for an extended time, and figured out it isn't a traditional solid, liquid, or gas, but it is actually a plasma. I think. The second was further examinations of the core bombs, since I was not sure, at the time, what the propagation model for it was. I knew it was an explosion, but it didn't work as a fireball or similar spells do.<br/><br/>Anyway, the core experiment went super critical, and then had an uncontrolled, run away reaction. The expected yield was about the size of a fireball. What I actually got was about the size of a nova blast, or the equivalent of three miles across. The excess power bled through the protections, and interacted with the balefire. Fun fact, balefire is not a magical substance once it has existed for an hour, and is self stable from one to three hours before it expires, though getting it to stay around long enough to become self stable is hard even for a god. The two experiments mixed, and managed to breach all the protections but the three last ditch protections. Any of those would have shunted the entire lab past the far realms, by the way, but even I can not deliberately get through those when they are active and trigger that reaction. So, it obliterated everything in the lab. Remarkably like when I ascended, actually. I then reappeared at that ziggeraut I showed Mordin, Serena, and... who was the other? Nevermind, it doesn't matter. I got to spend a year trapped in there. Less than fun."<br/><br/>He took a drink of fruit juice, swirling it around on his tongue, and then grinning at them. "So, who gets to hit first? And no screaming please, my hearing has gotten much better since, and screaming would hurt."
