Their faces were tense.
Losing two generators in such a short time had clearly rattled them.
They didn't see the small, nail-sized EMP I slipped out from the shadows beneath the generator.
There was a faint pulse of light, a sharp explosion, and the machine powered down instantly.
Darkness swept the room for several seconds.
I didn't wait.
I moved through the black corridors toward the fourth and final generator.
The lights flickered back to life just as I arrived.
The guards here were murmuring to each other, distracted by the sudden outage.
Perfect.
I slid the last EMP into place, letting it emerge from the shadow under the generator.
No one noticed until the pulse detonated.
The generator whined once before dying completely.
The lights went out, and this time, they didn't come back.
The guards reacted instantly, shouting to each other, trying to get their bearings.
They could not see anything in the darkness.
That wasn't a problem for me.
