One presumes she’s speaking literally about explosions.
If she were to include the metaphorical explosions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and incidents of assorted mayhem she’s been responsible for… well, let’s just say that the count might be a bit higher.
I don’t believe that Atsali can be blamed for causing the nuclear explosion that ended First Mapimi — Brandi gets credit for that! Atsali was involved, and had to be rescued (along with Kath) by Bud!
No, that one was on her – she emptied the crystals, and the site was set to blow if that ever happened.
Not sure if she actually triggered the antimatter explosion or not though – but I assume she did, as that was a trap set for the Nu Gui that she responded to instead.
Or study it in school. John Clark’s wonderful book Ignition! is back in print, and would make great assigned reading for all future rocket scientists (or even past rocket passengers such as Atsali). Clark mentions some nitrogen compounds where even the name scares him… and others where he said he’d have to be a couple of drinks drunk to even dare to sketch the molecular formula on a napkin.
Skylar? I’m still waiting to see how Luci’s handling it, after meeting a barista who is actually a coven of demons, meeting and fangirling over a top-tier sphinx full terrify-the-human mode, and watching her new friend/student obliterate a canyon wall.
I strongly suspect she didn’t already know her boss is a sphinx, and is taking it all in stride.
I love the idea of Bud juggling bottles of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane and biflourine dioxide. “Hey wanna see what happens when I bang these together?” You could pack the entire boom of that whole sub’s arsenal into just a few gallons!
Being immortal and indestructible hath its privileges….
Oh, ‘Sali…you’re such a kidder… *chucks shoulder* …right?
Ya gotta admire a woman who can cause that much damage…
Preferably from a safe distance
“Safe distance” in this case being measured in parsecs.
The girls have a “safe” distance? When the heck did that happen?!
Depending on what kind of Nova happens to your star and if it collapses into a quasar you may need over 100 million light years.
Wusses. Get up close and personal. If the big one goes off it’ll be over before you know what happened. 😉
Two helicopters, and two explosions at Mapimi, right?
Riiiiiiight!
What about the mine?
That was Kath dropping a lantern that caused that “roller coaster ride dipped in dynamite”.
@Critter
Atsali might have to take some blame for that one, in the unsafe way she handed it off to Kath.

“Oh, and my sister IS explosions, sort of.”

Brandi tricked her into it, but it was Atsali that pushed the metaphorical self-destruct button.

You run in dangerous company, Skylar.
Sorry, my tongue slipped. I have to flashy-thing you now. Actually I prefer the german “blitzdings”.
Y’know, Atsali, you could’a discouraged this kind of speculation by not talking about it.
Now if she would just take up Nitrogen Chemistry. as a hobby. Shes be my kinda girl.

I suspect it’s Skylar’s turn to be brought into the insanity…

Did Atsali’s boobs get smaller?
the day Atsali gets a boob reduction is the day I stop reading this webcomic.
The horizon makes them look smaller.
…lest you get a visitation from the MIB!

She doesn’t have to juggle. She obliterates things with her plasma halitosis.
Ah, the good old days. Back when Wapsi Square was really interesting instead of coasting along on never ending tales of teen angst.
I’m sorry, that’s classified. I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.
Skylar is a cutie.
