Weepers

Enemy vehicle type, one of which detonated catastrophically and made Carl distrust the captured ones.

Story so far

Boomer identifies the blast that took out the slime boss as coming from one of the Weepers: the thing appears to have malfunctioned and then gone up, with a blast strong enough to power through all the anti-explosive shields and scatter Cheese Sticks several kilometers.

Carl's reaction is immediately practical — he is sorry it wasn't a fragging incident, and decides that if those Weeper tank things are going to blow like that, he does not want to use the captured ones unless he has to. He asks Boomer to have Florin investigate what happened.
