Salute To The General

Moments after the convoy left the area, a loud explosion could be heard in the distance, and all the lights in the surrounding streets went off at the same time. Nathan and Penny frowned when they glanced at the streets that had been plunged into darkness.

"It looks like a major power outage," Penny commented.

Nathan glanced at Carlos, who was seated in the passenger seat, and asked, "Ambassador Knight, are power outages common here in Eagleland?" "While Eagleland may not be as great as Eurasia, power outages aren't exactly commonplace. That is especially the case here in the capital city of Eagleland. I'll try calling the relevant authorities and see what's going on," Carlos said while dialing a number on his phone.

After getting off the phone, he turned toward Nathan and said, "President Cross, I have just confirmed this incident with the authorities. They say the transformers in several streets have exploded at the same time. Repairs are being made at the moment, but they don't know for sure when it'll be completed."

The transformers in several streets exploding at the same time? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?

Nathan frowned at the thought of that and looked up at the dark streets ahead of him.

Boom!

A flash of lightning was soon accompanied by the rumbling of thunder as the rain started pouring down from the sky above.

We're in the middle of a thunderstorm, and there's a major power outage... Just great...

With visibility being reduced like crazy, Nathan's convoy had to slow down as they pushed through the heavy rain.
