Are you the "I" in this tale? As for "mischugenons" they sound a lot like well shrunken Hydrinos. Not as small as neutrons, so they penetrate the electron shells of atoms less easily, and need to tunnel into the target nucleus, reducing the reaction rate. When they merge with a target nucleus, the resultant energy can be carried by the accompanying electron, or by the other proton if the initial particle was a Hydrino molecule. The latter possibility in particular might account for a considerable reduction in emitted gammas (by many orders of magnitude).
