Prompts = Precipitate, Accrue, Scatter

Michael Montgomery was recently hired as a trainer at an army bootcamp. His first lesson to the new recruits went less well than he’d hoped.

‘Hello everyone and please pay attention. Notice in my hand this roughly spherical metal object. While this one is inert, others you encounter may not be.

‘When this pin is pulled, a chain reaction is initiated that first accrues chemical energy that, upon reaching a sufficient threshold, precipitates a sudden scattering event that ripples outward to the detriment of anything encountered.

‘Any questions?’

He may be an excellent physicist, but his explanations need some work.
