A rapid response team was dispatched. Within the sprawling freight yard, they uncovered a larger, more sophisticated device—a metallic sphere roughly the size of a basketball, packed with high‑explosive material and a larger radioactive source. It was set to detonate in . Chapter 7: The Final Confrontation The operation culminated in a tense standoff.
