You don't become radioactive when you have radiation sickness; repeated mentions of 'burning the corpses will only spread radiation' were removed for being incorrect

Radiation isn't contagious, so you want to get out of there to prevent further exposure, and burning the bodies only releases the radioactive particles into the air.]]

* WrongGenreSavvy: Everyone about the ancient tomb and the titular writing on the wall. They think that they're still in an AdventurerArchaeologist story with a fantasy bent, so the tomb is full of treasure and archaological goodies and the writing is empty threats intended to scare away superstitious would-be tomb raiders. It's actually a sci-fi horror story, the building is a containment facility for something ''very'' dangerous, and the writing on the wall is NotHyperbole, and accurately describes what would happen to ''anyone'' who would attempt to get in.

* EverybodyDiesEnding: Speculated on by the characters. [[spoiler:Being ignorant of the nature of radiation, they are left uncertain if they are all going to die from their exposure. Several of the workers, as well as Daring Do herself, are clearly suffering from severe radiation sickness. Taking into account that the drums of waste have almost certainly burst and flooded the cavern, it is likely that everyone standing near the cave's mouth for any length of time is going to get cancer very soon. The doctor who examined her friend's corpse will probably be dead in under a month.]]
