Operation: Meltdown
Mission Briefing
A routine systems test at the North Pole Energy Facility has gone catastrophically wrong.
What began as a minor coolant pressure anomaly has escalated into a full containment emergency. Communication with the control team has been completely severed, and critical backup systems are failing one by one.
Three primary containment systems have already failed.
Inside the reactor core, temperatures are climbing rapidly toward critical levels.
If the reactor reaches meltdown, the resulting blast will devastate everything within miles.
You are a specialized emergency response unit deployed into the facility’s auxiliary control sector — a section hastily sealed off when the incident began.
Your mission is clear:
Restore coolant flow
Stabilize the reactor core
Prevent a nuclear meltdown
But there’s a complication.
The facility’s automated fail-safe protocol — code-named SNOWBALL — has activated.
Designed to stop a runaway chain reaction, the system has begun triggering cascading containment measures. Unfortunately, those automated responses are now working against you.
Every safety protocol that activates triggers another… and another… turning a bad situation into something far worse.
One remaining control pathway is still accessible.
Time is running out.
Radiation levels are rising.
The reactor is approaching critical mass.
You have five minutes before the core reaches irreversible conditions.
If you cannot override SNOWBALL and regain manual control, the reactor will breach containment.
And when it does…
There will be no second chance.
