Recently, weapin manufactuerers have been thinking of the cobalt bomb, It is said to be a destructive weapon, able to kill quite a large number of people witho ne bomb (supposedly, about half of earths population). However, no tests (As far as they care, which is little) have ever shown this would happen. So, they're considering doing a real cobalt bomb test to see just how destructive these things are. Although, whether or not the government will allow these tests to be done remains to be seen.

OOC: Oh, yes, let's just test a bomb that's supposed to kill half the earth. Granted, I imagine that's the RL Earth, not the NS Earth, but still... That's pretty darn dumb.

It is rumored that The Community is in posession of several types of these weapons (Cobalt, Gold, Cesium bombs) as well as weapons that emply various strains of botulis, but neither the military nor the Two Councils have ever commented on this.

Yes. They work. As do gold bombs, and all the other fun salty nukes. I've attached data on their function for you. Use that, instead, and don't blow yourselves up.

OOC:

Radioactive Gold has a shorter half life than cobalt. Am I correct in presuming you understand how the cobalt bomb works?

We sincerely doubt the competence of your nation to build such a weapon. You can't even word your announcement of your intentions to do so correctly. We suggest tackling basic English before nuclear weapons.

Good day.

OOC: It's a bad idea to attack someone that much more powerful than you with any weapon, I suggest you rethink your plan.

Ok, so I would. Not anyone here, even if they ARE grammar nazis.

I always wondered why Grammar nazis are such sticklers for perfection.
