Cool. Thanks for the catches. I'll go make a few changes shortly.
The barrel was a reference to Donkey Kong, didn't know if anyone would pick up on it. As for it exploding, I'd already established that Priss was handling perimeter security, and she has great accuracy with those railspike cannons. Plus, it's a simple falling object. Any halfway competent combat computer can calculate the intercept on that.
