Kharzonus continues demolishing Ronald Grump's wall due to its uselessness (forgot to say that last turn).

Hurricane Koala heads over the mega cable as a category 5. The waves manage to reach deep enough and be powerful enough to rip the cable from the bearings that hold it to the sea floor. The cable gets thrown into a sharp rock, tearing its insulative layer open, and exposing the blitzium core with live energy current running through it. As some engineers warned, the live blitzium violently reacted with the water, spliting the cable apart and creating an explosion. The live end of the cable continued reacting with the water, but oddly enough, the reaction continued, and even got stronger, after engineers shut off the power. It turns out a theory by an under-respected engineer, which scientists were too quick to discard, is true: that once the reaction got hot enough, with pressure provided by the water, the blitzium, given it still live, would start a nuclear reaction. Once the nuclear reaction was started, even shutting off the power wouldn't stop it. A scientist quickly did an experiment and confirmed that blitzium was fissile, with reactions only triggered by the right conditions. Over the next several hours, the reaction got more intense, heating the water enough to strengthen Koala into a hypercane. Officials met and discussed what to do with the fuse with a nuke on the end, which they predicted would reach the junction of the Krekitiu-Jiemz Cable in one week. Questions were raised about the safety of Jiemz, and about what if the nuke continues on land and reaches the KPC, which some worried would trigger a catastrophic explosion more powerful than Tsar Bomba. Citizens of Jiemz were warned that if emergency services couldn't contain the reaction in 4 days, that they would have to evacuate.
