“Well I know a lot about our studies of magnetic energy and quite a bit, I might add,448Please respect copyright.PENANAd3locvSi8f
about our achievements with electric fields capable of disabling all sorts of electronics,448Please respect copyright.PENANAnIAvzykliu
but I never heard of any sort of EMP (electromagnetic pulse) quite like this.” she then448Please respect copyright.PENANAaY2tWBPcIy
looks up towards the clouds and continues.448Please respect copyright.PENANArjrQqYIHzI
“With all of the tests we performed, the basic principle was mostly the same; a448Please respect copyright.PENANAnB20dwqoFO
mass amount of pre-set energy is released way up above at higher altitudes, that then448Please respect copyright.PENANAPrNtXr5JlJ
spreads taking down electric devices in its wake. But the equipment we carry with448Please respect copyright.PENANAOSR8hojFHb
us to the field is specifically designed to counter such effects, to resist any sort of448Please respect copyright.PENANAmBbc0ZBj4l
disablement known to us and yet it too is mostly dying and with the rest of it soon448Please respect copyright.PENANA3DEfEZkhOr
failing. The same goes for the aircraft that brought us here, also designed to counter448Please respect copyright.PENANA6uWNUeFBqG
these sorts of attacks. This is like nothing we are familiar with and it came from one448Please respect copyright.PENANAo6SU9HBjEm
of our very own facilities?448Please respect copyright.PENANANvRf7iCCOa
I am usually allowed into not so easily accessible files often by his majesty himself448Please respect copyright.PENANAFv1VOSaeT0
and I have no knowledge of us having this type of technology. This is something448Please respect copyright.PENANA92Kpg1RqvM
different from what we currently master; it is a different technology, way more448Please respect copyright.PENANAV2XcdZT6o6
advanced, more powerful, and capable of affecting a broader variety of things.448Please respect copyright.PENANAShMCngbjUh
This is beyond anything we’ve supposedly own and it seems to last longer as well -448Please respect copyright.PENANAgogZgHp6nx
almost permanent - as its effects continue to fully disable even hours after its original448Please respect copyright.PENANACTFt0pv5Gy
release which brings me to my main point...” Celle puts her eyes on their leader and he448Please respect copyright.PENANAUs2LCBUFuL
stops in his tracks “whenever such a massive detonation occurs in the sky the obvious448Please respect copyright.PENANACsq49Eaqd0
signs of such endurance linger, for miles around and many days to come, that is why448Please respect copyright.PENANAQWmSkZgWaE
our tests take place in faraway locales hidden from unauthorized eyes but here... there448Please respect copyright.PENANAMzU8OqK6rR
is no trace, there is no sign at all! The sky holds no evidence. Nothing almost as if...”448Please respect copyright.PENANAyuPWxh2nKL
“As if no detonation ever took place...” adds Deena.448Please respect copyright.PENANA1qFDJTsoB2
“Exactly...” resumes Celle “there is definitely energy and effect but no signs of the448Please respect copyright.PENANAN9PtJmLDSX
source.”448Please respect copyright.PENANAyp2YiYzu6n
“That is because no detonation ever took place.” they all look at Dhanel Marce as this448Please respect copyright.PENANAB7NXu8n9md
one continues unsurprised “Well, not up in the sky anyway... but deep underground...”448Please respect copyright.PENANAVvjYgSr9B5
“What? How?” asks Celle.448Please respect copyright.PENANAPMY0cW79kE
“More important is the “why” ... says Deena “Why did they do it?”448Please respect copyright.PENANAv4IQRuOdH7
“So boss, what is the story here?” Harigar Rhim couldn’t help himself but interject448Please respect copyright.PENANAVjwDAswHjo
as he so often does “Can you just cut to the chase? What is happening tonight?”448Please respect copyright.PENANAMlS8WHGCKc
Celle first looked behind towards the black-cloaked tattooed man and his questions;448Please respect copyright.PENANAJQWZvhqVaG
her eyes then travelled through her other two companions till they finally landed to448Please respect copyright.PENANACPxe3JyQbD
her left, on the leader of the five, on a captain with a pondering expression around him,448Please respect copyright.PENANAvhm6LumPlf
even more so than usual.448Please respect copyright.PENANAlrvygQGYgF
The one who will soon brief them without even slowing his pace or looking back448Please respect copyright.PENANAdStg6uYeHy
carries a heavy brow... “I am wondering how I should put the cards on the table.”448Please respect copyright.PENANAAAvIM4iSVL
“Sir?” Celle asked him not hiding her share of confusion.448Please respect copyright.PENANAjI3IZn3rg5
“Never mind...” Dhanel Marce let a short smile go and then his tone of voice448Please respect copyright.PENANAgWrvvdktag
changed into a more authoritarian one “Alright listen up, cause here it is...” he snapped448Please respect copyright.PENANAeFqz8x6nbH
his fingers twice as it is ritual by now, the signal for all of them to shut up and listen448Please respect copyright.PENANASa120vSZMX
without interruption.448Please respect copyright.PENANAK8HInf4Ztg
“I am certain you are all aware of the Beriheim Incident six years ago. You have448Please respect copyright.PENANAxczDdv86aZ
studied it likely more than once during your long and arduous training; whether you448Please respect copyright.PENANAjDbSAFy242
did so in history class or science or both, there is no escaping it as even in theology448Please respect copyright.PENANArfED3i81CO
classes it’s something brought up on a fairly basis. Everyone knows about it and448Please respect copyright.PENANAXAuOrzB0af
naturally many enjoy all the discussions and speculation it brings. It is a great part of448Please respect copyright.PENANA2nAyHKilm2
our history albeit a tragic one, a recent one at that which reinforces, even more, the448Please respect copyright.PENANArIWnt5PWyE
appetite to talk about it... and so, of course, everyone does... everyone wildly spreads448Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ6YH6W6iU
their opinions and hastily loosens their tongues... and they are all wrong...”448Please respect copyright.PENANA2lVoPRPTVk
Dhanel Marce took second place closely behind Deena and the others will follow448Please respect copyright.PENANAEEIZKOFauu
him closely for the duration of the briefing “I will tell you the truth about the top of448Please respect copyright.PENANAt0C1sbsFPO
that mountain for that is a crucial part of our mission tonight.”
