“What’s their status? I want a report of their energy readings.” asked the colonel.

“Main power appears to have been knocked out, but our sensors detect low-level energy currents throughout. It’s probable that their backup generators kicked in. Readings are too low to see what they’re up to, however.”
“Is power going to their turrets?”
“Can’t tell, but our other scans show no activity from the pillboxes. Visuals confirm only half of them are damaged beyond operational capacity.”
