Mining Blast Charges began as a tunnel contamination safeguard; Juliette now carries dynamite for her planned assault on Silo One.
Walker first reported a proposal to rig the tunnel to explode if the dig encountered bad air. Charges were installed as a precaution, and Shirly arranged for them to be triggered from the opposite side of the crossing; Juliette intended to use them to seal the evacuation tunnel. Afterward, Juliette requested leftover charges to breach the top of Silo One.
A transferred mechanic estimated that twenty to thirty sticks could breach its airlock door, compared with eight used against the one-inch plate at the stairwell base. Juliette now carries sticks of dynamite on her back while traveling with Raph.
The explosives Juliette carries are sticks of dynamite.
The remaining explosives are being carried for Juliette's planned breach of Silo One.
