@halcy I feel like sure, they could have the fabs rigged to blow but it only makes sense as a deterrent if everyone knows the fabs are rigged to blow so they could just say they are

@halcy I could never work in one of those factories I would eventually give into the urge to snack on stuff
re: mutually assured destruction
@noiob oh yeah I mean. rigged to blow here is very much not necessarily literal. You could probably do irreversible damage to the production line with like, your bare hands
