"OK, good. Listen up," Sgt. Sparks turns from the communications console at his desk and faces you. "We've been running hi-res surface scans in the big-gun area and according to that along with intel from the surface teams in the logistical sector, there's bad news. As you know the security laser grid was just taken out a few hours ago. Problem is, there were a lot of laser towers that appeared to be offline or already dead but we're getting power signatures from them. They didn't go completely dead like the others. And we just got wind of some major power signatures not far from the big-gun reactor, centered around two buildings, apparently a complex of some sort -- right in the middle of these towers. If those towers are a backup grid like we think they are, we got a serious problem. There's no way we can drop teams for reconnaisance in the big-gun area with something like this in the way, not after what happened during the first drop. Big-gun is next on the agenda which means we need to take this thing out as soon as possible."
