With Their Freeze Rays

It turns out the Twilight Police Department ends up with a lot of freeze rays. So they've started auctioning them off... probably better that the Hero Dash folks are buying them, even if that means there's a wall of freeze rays over there.

Speaking of freeze rays, it's not immediately clear whether they're the "ice beam" kind or the "stops the world" kind. But there is a warning sign that says "Side Effects May Include: Frostbite, Ice Cream Headache, and up to an Hour of Lost Time."

If you've selected Warm it up but not Short it out:

It's N degrees warmer than when you got here.

If you've selected Short it out but not Warm it up:

It has M shorts in the circuit.

If you've selected Warm it up and Short it out:

It's N degrees warmer and has M shorts in the circuit.

Options:

• Warm it up
  
• Short it out
  
• Charge right in
  
• Leave it there

Results

If you chose Warm it up:

Getting Warmer...
Thankfully, no matter how cold or dark it gets, a little fire can always push back the night.

If you have at least +20 fire damage:

Your fire warms the freeze ray, bringing up the ambient temperature so much it will be more of a cool breeze ray.

• Warms by 3 degrees

If you have at least +5 but less than +20 fire damage:

Your fire warms the freeze ray, bringing up the ambient temperature enough it might just be more of a chill ray.

• Warms by 2 degrees

Otherwise:

You wish your ancestors had invented fire so you could warm this up. Get on it, ancestors!

• Warms by 1 degree

If you chose Short it out:

Better Call Mr. Fusion
Disassembling a technological cluserpiece like these freeze rays is going to take a real genius. Today, that genius is gonna have to be you.

If you know Electric Net with 10 SP invested:

You repurpose some of your electric net's components to... drain power from the... starboard nacelles. Don't look at me, you're the technogenius!

• Adds 3 shorts in the circuit

If you know Electric Net with less than 10 SP invested:

You rework some of your electric net's circuitry to blow out the freeze ray's temporal fuses. Or fuse some of its temporal blows. It all gets a little jumbled in there with the jiggawatts.

• Adds 2 shorts in the circuit

Otherwise:

Barring a better plan, you stick a paperclip in the circuitry and are satisfied with a little zap sound. That should suck marginally less if it hits you.

• Adds 1 short in the circuit

---

If you chose Charge right in:

You Only Freeze Once
You damn the torpedoes (freeze rays, in this case) and ride boldly into the jaws of death (also freeze rays).

If you know Trample of the Rhino:

You charge in like a rhino, freezing for X damage and only spending Y minutes in the beam.

Otherwise:

You push your way into the beam, freezing for X damage and losing Y minutes.

If you are defeated:

But that's all you have in you.
