"Education" Camp

by Jerry J. Vahn

Yea, right, 'education' camp. Not very likely. More like the communistic 're-education' camps where people who think for themselves are held captive until their spirit is broken.
 
Sharp asked for some help from the team. It seems that one of the destroyer agents has a sister being held in the camp near Millenium City. Socrates let us know that there is some sort of energy field near the little town where the agent said his sister was. Also, he finally found that there are similar energy fields around other areas of country.
 
We come up on the 'camp' from the south. Max says that the big transformers around the factory area are emitting the dampening field over the area. There appear to be 13 of these things. Most of the group stay on the south side of the factory as I head to the north side to try to draw as many to that side as possible to increase our odds a bit.
 
As I approach the generator, I know why it is there. Man, it makes me feel tired, and quickly too. Good thing Max made me invisible, I'm not sure that I could have made it otherwise.
 
After what we had to deal with when we found Lilliana, I had a feeling that the energy field around the factory was going to be something like this, I just didn't know how much it was going to hurt. I warn the rest of the team about the energy dampening field. I go in and do what I can to take the power supply apart. It works, but at what a cost.
 
It is a cost that I will pay over and over again if needed. These people in here didn't do a thing to be there other than wanting to live their life the way that we were raised here in the US.
 
Good news, the power supply dropping does draw some of the agents to check on it. Bad news, not enough. After heading back to the group, it is quickly decided that we need to start dropping more of the transformers. Ghost takes out one and Dragon Lady another one. Remind me NOT to spar with her. She broke that thing open like it was a tin can, and she was a can opener.
 
Liliana and Sharp fire at another one and I let Max take the next one over as I move forward to the 6th one to take it out. I fire electricity at it, and it begins to wind down.
 
That was a few intense seconds......
