Frankly, I have no idea what Ozpin's information or intuition is capable of telling him. For all I know Ozpin really does know the whole truth, and the same with Gren. But Ozpin isn't my character to control, so it's up in the air what he's thinking about it. And yes, I am quite aware I'm creating a conspiracy to overthrow Sapphire's position of leadership by attacking her name and mental stability. I thought this was well established around the same time Gren mentioned that he wanted to be the leader. As you are well aware of Multi, I am attempting to have Gren orchestrate many conspiracies to dethrown Sapphire's position of leadership. What I have spoken of recently is merely one plan on the off chance that Gren and Sapphire ever have to fight, which is actually kinda counter intuitive to how Gren wants to assume leadership.

Do you have a n y i d e a how a fusion reactor works? Or what a breach would mean?

At all?

Literally anything?

Yo, everyone is a walking armory. Also even if Gren did blow up his fusion core wouldn't be able to destroy all of Beacon. It's suppose to power him, not be a nuclear warhead. He'll need a specific upgrade to do that. Gren's not like some sort of action-movie car that blows up if you hit the gas tank. The worse thing that would happen right now if you damage his fusion core (Which is at the center of his body) is that he'll leak and cause a small radiation leak. As in, within the immediate area around him, not the entire school. And if you've managed to damage or otherwise literally gotten under his skin him so much that you can do direct harm to his fusion core, he has much bigger problems.

"Of course Gren wouldn't intentionally try to harm her, just get into position for her to harm him. This relies more on Shiro's willingness to smear Sapphire's name, as well as let Gren be critically wounded."

That's what I meant. His plan is absolutely to intentionally hurt her.

I know exactly what he's thinking of. I did the research using them to power mecha in another RPG setting.

Breaching a reactor potent enough to power a cyborg, and his weapon systems, would be catastrophic for anyone anywhere near him.

I never said anything about an explosion. I'm pointing out the effect of a radiation leak from a reactor that is, by definition, leagues above any fusion reactor we have created today.

Fusion reactor we have today work by heating gasses to their fusion point, and as soon as we stop heating them, they repel each other again. Thus the reaction stops. Any reactor that powers something, and as such creates a net positive energy output, will need to be self sustaining. In other words, when the reactor is breached, it will not instantly stop the reaction.

The reaction will continue after reactor breach. Eventually it will collapse, yes, but it is not instant. And until it does you will have an unconfined reaction occurring. Which will both put off a ton of radiation and, yes, have explosive potential. A fusion bomb is by definition an uncontained fusion reaction.

Fusion reactors are only safe by government standards because none of the ones we have created, ever, are on anywhere near the level of what would be powering Gren.

You don't understand, Shiro isn't about smearing people's names and letting people get hurt. You'd have to seriously manipulate him into thinking twisted before that happens. He's more along the lines of "You suck! So-and-so is leader now!"

I know, which is why he and Gren are going to need to chat at some point after the mission in order to explain this possible plan to him. Hopefully after Gren and Shiro get to know each other more and after Gren feeds Shiro's own dislike of Sapphire.

I'll admit, the bigger trick is getting Shiro to agree to it. Shiro is too nice to do something so ruthless, so maybe I'll have Gren teach Shiro how to... Use his anger intelligently. And have Shiro trust Gren enough to let Gren be hurt for the both of them. Maybe have Gren plant the idea of this into Shiro's head, and all Gren needs to do is give Shiro the push and opportunity to do it.

This is, of course, only if you're willing to have Shiro go down such a dark path, or assuming Gren or Shiro's current opinions about Sapphire never changes by the time something like that could happen. Remember, this is just Plan B. Plan A is much more peaceful and doesn't involve anyone fighting each other.

I think a rp based on a show where they somehow have flying ships and mecha, it's not too hard to believe that someone might have a mini reactor implanted in them (Gren could literally just say he has an artificial limb and I doubt the people checking, if at all, at a metal detector, would try say nope you can't go in.)

And here's the thing, RWBY doesn't follow rl logic strictly. I mean flying military ships, semblances? Mecha?

keyword is "None of the ones we created". Pretty sure RWBY doesn't follow the tech tree of reality. They have plenty we don't have.

How much energy Gren would need is never really specified anyway so there's that. I doubt he needs the full on power a city might need.

Whether the RWBY world is capable of creating a small scale fusion reactor, I will have to admit, is a bit of a stretch.

However I also chose a purposely less advance and possibly more volatile alternative of nuclear power instead of an Arc Reactor to give the impression that Gren, compared to someone like Penny, uses older quality stuff.

Why is anyone even considering allowing a source with power that significant and that volatile to be on a PC where it could blow up or irradiate the entire damn school, again?

Seriously, why?
