Hello all
IIRC, when Ghostwalker bodily (activated and) entered the astral rift through the use of artifacts and his own magic, the backlash effect was stalled from releasing its full impact by the efforts of Aina Dupree (who could be sacrificed or something else altogether). That 'moderated' destructive effect in DeeCee still caused a few thousand deaths.
So... The thought is... What would happen if the effect was NOT stopped, by the immortal elves or anyone else? That a few groups of (mortal) shadowrunners had dropped off the artifacts for Ghostwalker instead?
I pulled up this thing (@
http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ ). It is a nuclear damage estimator. However, the population numbers are likely off (VITAS-scoured 20XX would still be lower population than today, I imagine) and I don't know what the upper limits on the (simulated) explosion would be.
Any ideas?
