A glowing translucent screen floated into view in front of his eyes. It projected no light to the room. No sound. Just the calm silence of the Weapon System he had come to rely on since Day One of the outbreak.
He mentally navigated the main menu.
[Tactical Armaments] > [Strategic-Class Weaponry]
Immediately, a long list unfolded—real-world warheads, all with nation-of-origin flags beside them.
RS-24 Yars (Russia) – 500kt, MIRV
Trident II D5 (USA) – 475kt SLBM
B61 Mod 12 (USA) – Adjustable yield: 0.3–50kt
AGM-86B ALCM (USA) – 150kt Air-Launched Cruise Missile
W76-2 (USA) – Low-yield, 6–8kt SLBM warhead
WE.177 (UK) – Decommissioned, 10kt
He scrolled past the Russian ones, skipping anything too large. A megaton-range warhead was overkill—it would glass the entire region. Civilians lived less than thirty kilometers from the expected detonation zone.
He paused on one entry.
[W76-2 Tactical Nuclear Warhead — USA]
Type: Low-Yield, Thermonuclear
