“Well I know a lot about our studies of magnetic energy and quite a bit, I might add,408Please respect copyright.PENANA0bEqTFh6b3
about our achievements with electric fields capable of disabling all sorts of electronics,408Please respect copyright.PENANA6qGlILkGt0
but I never heard of any sort of EMP (electromagnetic pulse) quite like this.” she then408Please respect copyright.PENANAD45CaWBP2h
looks up towards the clouds and continues.408Please respect copyright.PENANA4zBzLaNlyp
“With all of the tests we performed, the basic principle was mostly the same; a408Please respect copyright.PENANAeoshPzJVqb
mass amount of pre-set energy is released way up above at higher altitudes, that then408Please respect copyright.PENANAXUtF7rHCoY
spreads taking down electric devices in its wake. But the equipment we carry with408Please respect copyright.PENANAi2RomfgHY1
us to the field is specifically designed to counter such effects, to resist any sort of408Please respect copyright.PENANAEasgd9FKvz
disablement known to us and yet it too is mostly dying and with the rest of it soon408Please respect copyright.PENANAGSRtEXl5WE
failing. The same goes for the aircraft that brought us here, also designed to counter408Please respect copyright.PENANAMc8ZHMrWRo
these sorts of attacks. This is like nothing we are familiar with and it came from one408Please respect copyright.PENANAf6zmdslLPf
of our very own facilities?408Please respect copyright.PENANAKF06Qi0po7
I am usually allowed into not so easily accessible files often by his majesty himself408Please respect copyright.PENANAS2w4kBveT1
and I have no knowledge of us having this type of technology. This is something408Please respect copyright.PENANA5pEt5tO42X
different from what we currently master; it is a different technology, way more408Please respect copyright.PENANAkBYMY1MdD1
advanced, more powerful, and capable of affecting a broader variety of things.408Please respect copyright.PENANAB5w7PMUFTe
This is beyond anything we’ve supposedly own and it seems to last longer as well -408Please respect copyright.PENANAUwEhlQMhEi
almost permanent - as its effects continue to fully disable even hours after its original408Please respect copyright.PENANAxxMK5IxvDs
release which brings me to my main point...” Celle puts her eyes on their leader and he408Please respect copyright.PENANAEw1H3TNGud
stops in his tracks “whenever such a massive detonation occurs in the sky the obvious408Please respect copyright.PENANAxSyE7s4ZZP
signs of such endurance linger, for miles around and many days to come, that is why408Please respect copyright.PENANAhN8lGTd28E
our tests take place in faraway locales hidden from unauthorized eyes but here... there408Please respect copyright.PENANAPfxZdiyRtR
is no trace, there is no sign at all! The sky holds no evidence. Nothing almost as if...”408Please respect copyright.PENANApOEARx1EKO
“As if no detonation ever took place...” adds Deena.408Please respect copyright.PENANADGMJR0jOfu
“Exactly...” resumes Celle “there is definitely energy and effect but no signs of the408Please respect copyright.PENANAWz2t7wBhXz
source.”408Please respect copyright.PENANAtZMQgk9Uy6
“That is because no detonation ever took place.” they all look at Dhanel Marce as this408Please respect copyright.PENANAOsN7cpHSHW
one continues unsurprised “Well, not up in the sky anyway... but deep underground...”408Please respect copyright.PENANA98oYjj5rvb
“What? How?” asks Celle.408Please respect copyright.PENANA2Jyb69GjTM
“More important is the “why” ... says Deena “Why did they do it?”408Please respect copyright.PENANAeKAYVRofV3
“So boss, what is the story here?” Harigar Rhim couldn’t help himself but interject408Please respect copyright.PENANAkWSpNKqgvE
as he so often does “Can you just cut to the chase? What is happening tonight?”408Please respect copyright.PENANAv3Qzdo84k4
Celle first looked behind towards the black-cloaked tattooed man and his questions;408Please respect copyright.PENANAoF99BpbiD1
her eyes then travelled through her other two companions till they finally landed to408Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ1tmPv3ir
her left, on the leader of the five, on a captain with a pondering expression around him,408Please respect copyright.PENANA40EkWYyYsB
even more so than usual.408Please respect copyright.PENANA03yERg0aVi
The one who will soon brief them without even slowing his pace or looking back408Please respect copyright.PENANASQWkKgyAhw
carries a heavy brow... “I am wondering how I should put the cards on the table.”408Please respect copyright.PENANA2lNgrAxyjY
“Sir?” Celle asked him not hiding her share of confusion.408Please respect copyright.PENANAptwpLF3eyy
“Never mind...” Dhanel Marce let a short smile go and then his tone of voice408Please respect copyright.PENANAp1xXJrtDrR
changed into a more authoritarian one “Alright listen up, cause here it is...” he snapped408Please respect copyright.PENANAvb8SSAiLnl
his fingers twice as it is ritual by now, the signal for all of them to shut up and listen408Please respect copyright.PENANAdpZdsURyxK
without interruption.408Please respect copyright.PENANAinG3ApL45E
“I am certain you are all aware of the Beriheim Incident six years ago. You have408Please respect copyright.PENANAgKjPgUrTPF
studied it likely more than once during your long and arduous training; whether you408Please respect copyright.PENANAwmLjc2eu5W
did so in history class or science or both, there is no escaping it as even in theology408Please respect copyright.PENANAZpDhE3c1WJ
classes it’s something brought up on a fairly basis. Everyone knows about it and408Please respect copyright.PENANAYUsVkq8TmO
naturally many enjoy all the discussions and speculation it brings. It is a great part of408Please respect copyright.PENANAVEt9caTEmJ
our history albeit a tragic one, a recent one at that which reinforces, even more, the408Please respect copyright.PENANAEqEcDdmHXa
appetite to talk about it... and so, of course, everyone does... everyone wildly spreads408Please respect copyright.PENANATmXN9XIxLk
their opinions and hastily loosens their tongues... and they are all wrong...”408Please respect copyright.PENANAAU2lCs3lNT
Dhanel Marce took second place closely behind Deena and the others will follow408Please respect copyright.PENANA5IciYqguwD
him closely for the duration of the briefing “I will tell you the truth about the top of408Please respect copyright.PENANACDHw7wyvSa
that mountain for that is a crucial part of our mission tonight.”
