“Well I know a lot about our studies of magnetic energy and quite a bit, I might add,396Please respect copyright.PENANA1JYc0qukH6
about our achievements with electric fields capable of disabling all sorts of electronics,396Please respect copyright.PENANAJbD4zzkzFF
but I never heard of any sort of EMP (electromagnetic pulse) quite like this.” she then396Please respect copyright.PENANATFOFkEQrlY
looks up towards the clouds and continues.396Please respect copyright.PENANATSAEKaCxTJ
“With all of the tests we performed, the basic principle was mostly the same; a396Please respect copyright.PENANAMH1N9RUjTK
mass amount of pre-set energy is released way up above at higher altitudes, that then396Please respect copyright.PENANAq26WP8IVv5
spreads taking down electric devices in its wake. But the equipment we carry with396Please respect copyright.PENANA2C7Y7m1AXy
us to the field is specifically designed to counter such effects, to resist any sort of396Please respect copyright.PENANAh6zW9zxebk
disablement known to us and yet it too is mostly dying and with the rest of it soon396Please respect copyright.PENANADZTZLecpvS
failing. The same goes for the aircraft that brought us here, also designed to counter396Please respect copyright.PENANAyJPjRqp5EV
these sorts of attacks. This is like nothing we are familiar with and it came from one396Please respect copyright.PENANAfZPMQo7Wzi
of our very own facilities?396Please respect copyright.PENANAo0c4M9jsWN
I am usually allowed into not so easily accessible files often by his majesty himself396Please respect copyright.PENANAOgXH1qsK2m
and I have no knowledge of us having this type of technology. This is something396Please respect copyright.PENANAwrux9GXMIl
different from what we currently master; it is a different technology, way more396Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ybk3LcP1L
advanced, more powerful, and capable of affecting a broader variety of things.396Please respect copyright.PENANAtQF6UUw6Y2
This is beyond anything we’ve supposedly own and it seems to last longer as well -396Please respect copyright.PENANATqujnDa0Vl
almost permanent - as its effects continue to fully disable even hours after its original396Please respect copyright.PENANADjDpkkG5H0
release which brings me to my main point...” Celle puts her eyes on their leader and he396Please respect copyright.PENANAGEdIOGnlQl
stops in his tracks “whenever such a massive detonation occurs in the sky the obvious396Please respect copyright.PENANA2wqcvlKXfv
signs of such endurance linger, for miles around and many days to come, that is why396Please respect copyright.PENANAv8Q6mNIAHP
our tests take place in faraway locales hidden from unauthorized eyes but here... there396Please respect copyright.PENANAITWATNGK85
is no trace, there is no sign at all! The sky holds no evidence. Nothing almost as if...”396Please respect copyright.PENANAL9R0B6HwYj
“As if no detonation ever took place...” adds Deena.396Please respect copyright.PENANAJPKKZ9yJVl
“Exactly...” resumes Celle “there is definitely energy and effect but no signs of the396Please respect copyright.PENANAyfSSeOly5t
source.”396Please respect copyright.PENANAZvLV0pkEYX
“That is because no detonation ever took place.” they all look at Dhanel Marce as this396Please respect copyright.PENANAMjlSEdaIAA
one continues unsurprised “Well, not up in the sky anyway... but deep underground...”396Please respect copyright.PENANAvPIel4X8JB
“What? How?” asks Celle.396Please respect copyright.PENANA32jBS7wuDR
“More important is the “why” ... says Deena “Why did they do it?”396Please respect copyright.PENANAkshZm3bpYR
“So boss, what is the story here?” Harigar Rhim couldn’t help himself but interject396Please respect copyright.PENANAViyaHsINmK
as he so often does “Can you just cut to the chase? What is happening tonight?”396Please respect copyright.PENANAdvJ9nHbpJs
Celle first looked behind towards the black-cloaked tattooed man and his questions;396Please respect copyright.PENANACfE4JXYWBI
her eyes then travelled through her other two companions till they finally landed to396Please respect copyright.PENANA9uBQAOMScj
her left, on the leader of the five, on a captain with a pondering expression around him,396Please respect copyright.PENANAABTCW4FE54
even more so than usual.396Please respect copyright.PENANAhA5jWkkQO2
The one who will soon brief them without even slowing his pace or looking back396Please respect copyright.PENANAUtC19hP18o
carries a heavy brow... “I am wondering how I should put the cards on the table.”396Please respect copyright.PENANAhiq0h4YBv7
“Sir?” Celle asked him not hiding her share of confusion.396Please respect copyright.PENANAFS0r4epP9Y
“Never mind...” Dhanel Marce let a short smile go and then his tone of voice396Please respect copyright.PENANAj8LRreeFSk
changed into a more authoritarian one “Alright listen up, cause here it is...” he snapped396Please respect copyright.PENANAsbUP9XTVCQ
his fingers twice as it is ritual by now, the signal for all of them to shut up and listen396Please respect copyright.PENANAnf8hCQEqSW
without interruption.396Please respect copyright.PENANA1uda0C2TTv
“I am certain you are all aware of the Beriheim Incident six years ago. You have396Please respect copyright.PENANAAtj21Ah1fH
studied it likely more than once during your long and arduous training; whether you396Please respect copyright.PENANAJL9utBdmW4
did so in history class or science or both, there is no escaping it as even in theology396Please respect copyright.PENANA9MtbntZbcZ
classes it’s something brought up on a fairly basis. Everyone knows about it and396Please respect copyright.PENANAtAZDPdpulx
naturally many enjoy all the discussions and speculation it brings. It is a great part of396Please respect copyright.PENANA9QZpG9Mz1S
our history albeit a tragic one, a recent one at that which reinforces, even more, the396Please respect copyright.PENANAd99LWXUwom
appetite to talk about it... and so, of course, everyone does... everyone wildly spreads396Please respect copyright.PENANALRgSZPLNG1
their opinions and hastily loosens their tongues... and they are all wrong...”396Please respect copyright.PENANAmyROMTQH7q
Dhanel Marce took second place closely behind Deena and the others will follow396Please respect copyright.PENANAGpAmbW52Qc
him closely for the duration of the briefing “I will tell you the truth about the top of396Please respect copyright.PENANA48IPMU3P4M
that mountain for that is a crucial part of our mission tonight.”
