Not taking significant damage is why "no, really, it wasn't a nuke" vagely flies - along with having a timer long enough that the visit to Mars was over and it was in transit to the Earth/Luna system to do the refit with medical gear.Is cybertronium immune to point-blank nuclear plasma? That would suggest that it isn't made of atom-based material in the same way any hsrd tech would understand - maybe something like open-lattice neutronium?
(I just invented 'Open-lattice Neutronium', some of the properties of (stabalised) neutronium, but much, much, lower density, BTW.)
