I still insist it's a MIB operation.  ;D

I take it that setting Nick up with Azuria is a bad idea?
*pause...thinks*
A very bad idea...

Not to say you couldn't shield the case... but the carrier might have been exposed to it and HE/SHE would emit the gammas for a bit...  But they're gonna blow it up anyway, so they won't care much about that whole being irradiated bit. :p

/It's all very complicated, I'm sure.
