Sigma accepts the message and turns the paper over - on top of the black ink shadow, he draws a miniature blueprint for something resembling a nuclear core, and the casing that boxes it in. A deadly heart beating inside a cold steel chest, numbered 12-01-00. Beside it is a list of tools they will require to excise the organ.

"Without knowing how deadly these weapons are, destroying the base could result in catastrophe. Instead, you will assemble a team with as many individuals as you can gather." He does not know how many like-minded Tributes they have, but Sigma can trust the Initiate not to be sloppy about this. "You will take them to that address, and you will carefully disassemble these machines. Inside, you will find this." He displays the core he's drawn to the Initiate. "I was not able to retrieve a complete blueprint of the device, but I am positive that removing this pit will render the weapon inoperable. These pits can then be destroyed." He exhales with a tremble, overwhelmed by his own scheme. There was no way such an elaborate plan with so many variables could succeed, but what choice did any of them have? "...This was a prohibitively expensive project. With these weapons eliminated, it will slow the Capitol down a great deal. I can only hope it will be enough."

Retrieving blueprints and providing instruction was the easy part. Disseminating this information and gathering a team willing to risk their lives was up to the Initiate.

Eluding security and breaking into a Capitol military base was up to the Initiate.

Collecting tools and dismantling the weapons was up to the Initiate.

Finding a way to destroy the cores and escaping undetected was up to the Initiate...
