If the troopers with you can't stabilize the generator or cut it loose from the E-Web in time?  We can zip up with the shuttle and do what we call a PFDQ dustoff for youse guys.

How big would the explosion be if the generator goes.

It's basically a small fusion bomb.

Aye, I do read Sluggy Freelance.

Oh . . . those explosions . . .

I believe Leeloo (Fifth Element) had it right when she said, "Big badda boom."

It won;t level the city or anything. But it'll destroy the building you're on.

Eep.  Mariah might have a better chance of stopping that generator from going big badda boom, yes?

Yeah, but she's in a shuttle hovering 20' off the ground, and the generator is on the top of the building.

The trooper on the ground might be able to get it stable.

One man can carry it at a lumbering run.

That's promising.  How far from the edge of the city are we?

Does the generator not have an emergency kill switch?

The problem is it is overheating. Killing the reactor will not stop the overheating.

But that would prevent an runaway reaction would it not? It might slag the generator but that is relatively minor compared to a fusion reaction.
