The reactor was destroyed days after it went on line.  There was
a terrible rumble and instantly, where the largest power generation
plant had stood, appeared an active volcano, bleeding lava like an
open sore.  It was a complete mystery to everyone but me.

But I know.  I've tracked the blips on my seismometer.  They must
be huge -- swimming through the earth's core; dense enough to cut
stone like butter; attracted to fissionables which they feed upon.

Well, I've just built a bigger reactor inside a titanium tank that
could enclose a city.

I'm going to catch me a rockworm.
