Peking Duck: A Hellbomb Tragedy

📝 DESCRIPTION SUPER EARTH INCIDENT REPORT

INCIDENT REPORT — FLAG DEFENSE (ACCEPTABLE LOSSES)

During a routine flag-raising operation in the name of Super Earth, Helldiver Duck was assisting Helldivers Brasta and Wolf in defending the objective when an unexpected B-100 Portable Hellbomb activation was detected.

Upon hearing the unmistakable arming tone, Duck queried Brasta for confirmation of deployment. After a brief pause, Brasta responded, “Um… I didn’t arm one.” At this moment, Duck realized the unthinkable truth: the Hellbomb had been armed by Duck himself.

With two seconds remaining on the countdown, Duck attempted an emergency democratic dive. The attempt was unsuccessful. The Hellbomb detonated, launching Duck approximately 250–300 meters across the battlefield, clearing an Illuminate warp ship, passing over a building, and depositing only a torso into the ruins of a destroyed structure.

Helldiver Duck was officially reclassified as Peking Duck.
Morale increased immediately.
Wolf confirmed mission status with the official call: “We did.”

Duck was redeployed shortly thereafter.
Democracy endured.
