"There was not just a turbofox up there." There was not one at all. "There was an... unexploded artillery shell. I wanted to get it to deactivate it and use the wiring for something else. Less... dangerous."

"Would you be able to climb up to the top? I can give you a boost." he asks, completely unironically and unaware of the issues Jetstorm may see with this.
