Your team was able to shut down the hawkion accelerator before it could blow itself up, and possibly take Lakeview with it. But the beam dump that absorbed the hawkions is now highly radioactive. | Your team was able to shut down the hawkion accelerator before it could blow itself up, and possibly take Lakeview with it.
