@cstross @arthurwyatt “core would be surrounded by an iron reflector – a layer of material to reflect escaping neutrons” BLOOD INSULATED

@arthurwyatt @cstross “The Walrus and the Carpenter” is actually an hermetic set of instructions for building a fast breeder reactor

OK, back to hunting deductions.

“The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:

And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.”

Naked core, obvs

There were no birds to fly.”

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,

…
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.”

Waste heat.

We can begin to feed.”

“But not on us!” the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.

But answer came there none–
And this was scarcely odd, because
They’d eaten every one.
