    So, I think I’ve seen higher, but the second explosion when the turret landed is definitely worth a lot of points for style.

      They went straight from biology to physics without any time to feel the in between. There are far worse ways to go.

        Jesus, never heard it put like that before and it feels a lot more visceral.

          It’s actually from an XKCD what if (the light speed baseball pitch one I think). I believe the exact phrase was “You wouldn’t die of anything in particular. You would just suddenly stop being biology and start being physics.” I liked it so I stole it. I also like my modified version “They ascended from biology to a more pure science.”

        This isn’t the first time this has happened, you know. It’s just something you expect to see on the daily.

      Nah, the pressure of the explosion milliseconds prior to the heat is what likely killed them, but that fireball was a nice follow-up.
