Atomic Fuel Store Detonator Main Cable (Including Radio Control Box Wiring)
Primary Function: The main cable system threading through the atomic fuel store, linking unstable detonator canisters to argonite cylinders and ultimately to the radio-controlled trigger. This includes:
1. The physical cable Dervish threads through the store to connect canisters to cylinders (described in the source entity).
2. The wiring to the radio control box, which Dervish completes last with the phrase 'All fixed' (described in the target entity as 'Dervish's Detonator Radio Control Box').
Narrative Flow:
- Dervish first threads the main cable to link canisters to cylinders (source entity).
- He later completes the wiring to the radio-controlled trigger (target entity), enabling remote activation. This wiring is part of the same cable system, as evidenced by:
- The target entity's description: 'wired into the detonator unit... Dervish connects it last' (implying the radio control box is the final component of the cable system).
- The source entity's description: 'Dervish later completes the wiring to the radio-controlled trigger' (directly linking the two).
Technical Unity:
- The target entity's embedded context explicitly lists the source entity as an interacting component: 'Interacts with: ... Atomic Fuel Store Detonator Main Cable (1)'.
- The Doctor's actions in the target entity (probing cables, extracting a waxed cartridge) are consistent with the source entity's cable system, as the cartridge is linked to the radio control box (which is wired to the main cable).
Conclusion: The target entity ('Dervish's Detonator Radio Control Box') is not a separate device but the final component of the same cable system described in the source entity. Merging preserves the narrative and technical continuity of the sabotage setup.

Purpose
Connects detonator canisters on argonite cylinders to radio-controlled trigger for remote activation of atomic fuel store explosives
Significance
Dervish's handling exposes his expertise and hesitation, while Caven's pressure amplifies the plan's fragility; the armed cable turns preparation into imminent catastrophe, spurring the escape as the V-ship nears and forcing a race against the blast
