Correct:

    "Five chains away, the blade of the azoth wrecked a fusion generator,
and the soldier whose heart it had been died." (LS3, 9)

But, but . . . that's just another good reason to shoot those fool engineers
who designed them! If chems were subject to exploding and raining
radioactive material all around when they died, then they were a hazard to
every bio around them, including their fellow human troopers. Dumb. But
then, Typhon didn't care about people, did he?
