The abrupt power outage plunged the room into darkness, casting doubt in the eyes of three individuals momentarily.

As Hank grappled with confusion in the darkness, an uproar erupted from the intercom.

One voice exclaimed, “Why the power outage? All our monitoring gear is down!”

Another added, “Every detection device is offline! The central control room’s visibility is zero and the ID system’s dead too!”

Another retorted, “What good are two or three lines now? The issue’s the power outage! Where’s the logistics head? Why wasn’t there backup power arranged?”

Someone lashed out, “Nobody mentioned setting up emergency power! Even FBI missions don’t always carry backups, unless it’s to the Middle East or Afghanistan! With this much gear and power load, what backup can handle it? A Cummins diesel generator? Should I fetch a power truck for you to use?”

“Damn! Are you giving excuses?”

“Are you arguing? Do you even comprehend how crucial the monitoring gear in the control room and on the roof is? Don’t just yap without sense! Speak only if you have something useful!”
