Rocks Thrown by Jamie

Jamie snatches loose rocks from the ground above the drill site and hurls them at the Quark. He shouts 'Take this, you wee tin kettle!' and 'Ah, you missed me!' as the rocks bounce off the machine. The Quark responds by firing energy blasts at the cliff face, its aggression mounting with each throw. Cully waits above, Balan observes nearby. These jagged stones, scattered amid rocky terrain, draw the Quark precisely into avalanche range.

Jamie lures Quark into ambush

The rocks thrown by Jamie serve as both a provocation tool and a distraction, luring the Quark into the ambush. Their jagged, loose nature allows Jamie to snatch and hurl them quickly, exploiting the Quark’s aggressive programming. The rocks bounce off the Quark’s armored surface, but their primary function is psychological—goading the robot into pursuit. Without these rocks, the ambush’s success would hinge solely on Cully’s boulder, removing the critical element of the Quark’s voluntary movement into the kill zone.

Before: Scattered loosely on the ground above the drill site, readily accessible for Jamie to grab and throw.
After: Dispersed or embedded in the cliff face and gully after being thrown, with some likely buried under the avalanche debris.
