Officer Brandon Johnson sighed wearily as he sat in his patrol car, parked near a Sirius Software cell tower that was just outside the Pine Springs neighborhood.
The 50 m tall lattice tower was surrounded by a 40 m tall electric fence, with warning signs, and an additional 3 m tall wooden palisade surrounding the electric fence.
"There's no kill like overkill when it comes to Sirius is there?" chuckled Sylvia Crawford, his partner, sitting in the car's front passenger seat.
"Tell me about it," sighed Brandon, recalling the reason why they were parked here in the first place.
The previous day, union crews had tried to take the tower down, only for that tower's "electric fence" to transform into a full-blown electric arc furnace the second the wrecking ball connected with the thick tungsten cables.
The wrecking ball had smashed into and gotten stuck on the outermost set of cables, and then slowly disintegrated in a roaring shower of sparks and lightning.
