Powering Up the Beast

 

We cracked open a crate of Big Chief Advanced Fusion Cores and pulled out the shiniest, freshest one.

Colby ran his hands over the casing. “This thing’s got a 2,000-kilowatt output—that’s like shoving a whole-ass power plant into Pinball’s belly.”

I nodded, locking the core into place. “He’s gonna be running for three centuries before this thing even thinks about draining.”

As a backup, we wired in 16 high-capacity energy cells, stacking them into his internal matrix.

Colby tapped the array. “That’s about half a million kilowatt-seconds stored up. Enough juice to run an entire vault for a year—or make Pinball do backflips.”
