-Which do not go off like a bomb when blown up. They just spray radioactive 
junk all over. Even a meltdown isn't a full-fledged fission chain reaction, 
or there wouldn't have been enough left of Chernobyl to fill a teacup. 
Similarly, a power plant blowing up could certainly spew some entropy 
around... hmm, what if the square the meltdown was on, and everything on it, 
suffered the effects of a post-entropic reset?-

-I practically get a discount, from the vSOI handouts. So do you, I'll note. 
Anyway, they won't magically materialize. Players supply the resources for 
the non-lethal ones, and vSOI shoulders some of the cost of the weapons - 
almost as though it were building them in a factory somewhere, which it's 
safe to assume it is, but if that factory gets a solid location, someone 
will try to blow it up, and then what do we rebuild it with?-
