Hammer Jammer

The Hammer Jammer is a gravity hammer brought to the canyon by the Wort Blarg Clan. The hammer had a communications jammer installed inside, and for around a few weeks the "artifact" blocked the canyon's communications entirely, leaving them with no supplies or a link to Command.

When the jammer was disabled by Hearth, an ancient alien AI installed in the artifact told the people of the canyon (rather ominously) that the cave aliens would soon attack if they didn't leave their native land. This sounded like a challenge to the people and so they prepared for war. When the aliens invaded, the hammer was wielded in battle by Campbell, then returned to Hearth for more testing and experimentation.

At some point afterwards, the entire hammer was disabled and had no energy source. When Green Team needed a bargaining chip in their war with Purple Team, Codrum stole the hammer from Hearth's office/lab and hooked it up to a car battery, activating the jammer once again. Two days later, a handful of Purples attacked Green Base and Franketti disabled and removed the hammer. It was then brought back to Blue Base where the jammer was finally ripped out of the artifact and the hammer was given to Bishop to tinker with.
