Disturbing not for the Sterbenfeld device, but for the thought of /why/ attack that particular target rather than, say, Manhattan?
Dark, because so many people are portrayed as mere skeletal set dressing. That disturbs me in this universe, because it's NOT commonly done, unlike Marvel (where nobody bothers to point out how many people died when the stadium went for a walk) or in DC, where it's hovering at the line of 'gore porn' almost by default. This... is far more effectively done.
Thought provoking, because I wonder if anyone escaped the field, or if the field interacted with non-mammalian life. Does it kill plants, too? How low on the 'life' scale? Yeast? Etc. You see where I'm heading; yet another incident with very, very unpredictable consequences.
Sometimes, all someone has is the /hope/ that they've done the right thing. She was a hero.

Shocking, dark, and thought-provoking
