 "'You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack.' -Miss Atomic Bomb, by The Killers"

Miss Atomic Bomb is the third episode of Eidolon ROCK and the eighth episode of Eidolon Playtest Season 1. It covers the Alta Drive Jawbreakers escaping from Las Vegas after their casino exploded, and fighting off a motorcycle-riding woman who can set explosions with a lighter.

Summary
Chris Masters and Chili reach The Whole Hog casino at 4:30am, thirty minutes before the meeting time with the rest of the Alta Drive Jawbreakers. As they cross the street, an explosion rocks the casino and sets it on fire. Virginia Valentine pulls up in her car, and they learn they were all attacked by Bones earlier. Chris still has his Roomba, Sephiroth, in a suitcase filled with some of the bones.

Cecilia Citadel rushes up, and upon seeing the burning casino insists that they leave immediately. Harvey D. Godlove strolls up casually behind her, leaving a voice message on his phone for Jack Stern telling him he's leaving town. Cecilia pulls Harvey into the car and they drive off as fire trucks arrive at the scene. Cecilia frantically tries to call her wife, Ruby Wednesday but she isn't picking up.

Chris shares that he learned someone high in The Dead Pharaoh had organized the McLeod Plaze Jawbreakers to courier the briefcase of Eidolon drug to 4557 Electric Avenue, Newark, New Jersey and sell it for $10,000,000/vial. He, Harvey, Chili, and Virginia all got attacked by Bones and it somehow bought the briefcase of drugs to Virginia. Cecilia does not believe this and pulls a gun on Virginia, demanding to know how she got it. Virginia guilts for Cecilia for not trusting her, and she lowers the gun and apologizes. They have a 37 hour drive ahead to New Jersey.

Virginia pulls into a gas station to top up her car before they leave Las Vegas. Chris and Chili head inside to grab snacks. Chili smells spoiled milk, and Chris sees a puddle of milk on the floor. The clerk seems dazed and out of it, not really paying them any attention even as Chili eats some hot dogs directly from the hot dog counter. Chris grabs some Monster, Gatorade, various chips and jerkeys, and taquitos for Harvey. Everyone gets back into the car, with Virginia driving and Chili in shotgun. Harvey, Chris, and Cecilia crowd into the back. They take the highway I15 northeast out of the city.

Traffic is low at this time of morning. Cecilia asks how Bones had an Eidolon, given all the drugs in the briefcase are accounted for. Something doesn't add up about the origin of the briefcase, and its quite likely they have superpowered-hitmen after them. Chris notes that he turned the tracking off on Jack Flash's phone, and Harvey makes another call to Jack Stern's voicemail. A very loud motorcycle starts gaining on them and everyone tenses up. A woman with no helmet and sunglasses pulls up besides them, makes eye contact with Virginia, and pulls on ahead. Chris hides Ironspy inside the car as a safety measure. Virginia offers one of the vials of Eidolon drug to Cecilia, who refuses due to unknown risks.

After some time, traffic slows to a standstill in the middle of nowhere. Off in the distance are police lights. As Virginia inches the car closer, they see there's a 20-foot diameter crater blocking the highway, and cops are directing people to turn and drive back to Las Vegas. Virginia deals in as the Navigator, gaining the power to detect the fastest route nearby. It tells her to jump the crater which seems physically unlikely. Instead, Virginia pretends to start a u-turn but actually drives off the road and around the crater. The cops are unhappy with her but don't move to stop them.

Eidolon Battle
The road is even quieter after the crater. It is now 7-8am, with 69 hours left on the clock. Suddenly, Only The Good Die Young indicates that the fastest route cuts left sharply and goes off the road. Before Virginia Valentine can process this, an explosion starts forming in the air in front of the car. Ironspy leaps out of the car and takes the brunt of the blast. Chris Masters looks around for who could have set it off, and spots a hill 100 feet away with a tire track leading over it.

Virginia swerves towards the hill, and another explosion forms in front of them. Chris supercharges the car with Ironspy and they make it most of the way past the explosion before it rocks the back of the car. Over the hill, they spot the woman from earlier, leaning against her motorbike. Emblazoned on the side of the motorbike is Miss Atomic Bomb. Virginia stops the car and everyone bails out of it in different directions, with Virginia rolling against a grand piano that Lady Luck suddenly appeared on. She offers some words of faint encouragement but otherwise does not help.

The woman flicks a lighter and an explosion starts forming near Chili and Chris. Chris dodges out of the way and manages to help Chili escape with Ironspy. Harvey D. Godlove throws Here It Goes Again and knocks the lighter out of the woman's hand. She manages to flick the lighter again first, and an explosion forms right in front of Harvey's chest.

Virginia deals in again as the Alchemist, gaining the power to transform sand she touches into glass. Virginia tries to form jagged glass below the woman, but ends up tripping herself over and falling into Harvey. Harvey tackles Virginia and dodges out of the way of the explosion.

Chris shoots a bolt of lightning at the woman, but accidentally hits the lighter instead. This starts forming another explosion near Chris and Chili. Chili runs under the explosion directly at the woman, trying to attack her with Little Lies. The woman flicks an explosion right in front of her, and Chili notices there's a sphere around the woman the explosion does not enter before she gets blown away.

Harvey throws Here It Goes Again at the lighter again, knocking it into his hands. He turns and starts running, unsubtly trying to switch the lighter with the one he picked up from Jack Flash in ROCK #1. Little Lies convinces the woman that this obvious switching attempt is a distraction because the lighters had already been switched just earlier. The woman pulls out a gun and shoots Harvey in the leg, rushing over to him, kicking him, and grabbing Jack Flash's lighter thinking its her own.

The woman's lighter had been sent flying when she shot Harvey in the leg. She tries to flick the lighter a few times before realizing her mistake. Chris hides Ironspy inside their car, turning it on to try and run her over. Instead, the car explodes in a manner unlike the woman's explosions. This explosion knocks the woman unconscious. Virginia impales her with jagged glass and kills her. Her motorcycle and lighter fade away, and the Alta Drive Jawbreakers recap their situation. They've lost their car, lost Chris' Roomba Sephiroth, but Cecilia Citadel was hiding and keeping the briefcase safe.

Ending Scene
A phone rings and a woman at Luxor Casino's phone reception answers. The caller presses several buttons to the receptionist's confusion, before the phone line connects through to a deep voice. A gruff voice reports that the Alta Drive Jawbreakers defeated Miss Atomic Bomb and got away. The deep voice is upset that they've had two failures, and says he's calling in Mr. Brightside from Germany. The gruff voice reports that it should be fine, as the Jawbreakers are encountering Dusty next and he's gonna help him. As a last remark, the deep voice passes on that Michael wants to be called directly once they kill them.
