I think this would be a good application of a particle system, having 
the particles bounce through the hallway to simulate the path of the 
explosion. With MegaPOV, it would be easy to code one using the trace() 
function, and use that to place components of a blob pattern to get the 
final result.
With MegaPOVPlus, you could try the particle_system object to do the 
simulation, which should be much faster, but isn't complete yet and is 
less flexible than doing things directly in the scene file. Also, MP+ is 
based on an older MegaPOV and I don't have the updated version done yet, 
and it won't be ready for a while.
