OOC: yeah, earthshatters are pretty well known. One of the few big weapons I never really kept secret, actually. They are my equivalent of IRL nuclear missiles. They are powerful and you want everyone else to know you have them.

IC:

Tato: "We have several variants of the Earthshatter missile, and I know of at least one that is perfectly suited to taking out underground facilities. However, I will not fire off any of those missiles unless I have solid targeting coordinates. They have large areas of effect, and any civillians taking cover in underground fallout shelters near the target would be killed. If I get definite targets, I will not hesitate to fire them off, but I refuse to just randomly throw them around and accomplish nothing but the deaths of civillians."

''A chirp sounds in one of Tato's ears, courtesy of one of his cybernetic implants. Excusing himself, he takes the incoming transmission. Several moments after he steps outside the room, audible curses can be heard, even through the soundproofed walls. The shouting dies down, and after another few minutes Tato returns to the room, visibly furious. ''

Tato: "Gentlemen, I have recieved some troubling news that I believe we need to discuss. It is.... rather important. However, I recommend that we finish up with the current topic before I bring up the report I just recieved, however. I will have an aide make copies of the report so that when this topic is over, you can all read it for yourselves."
