[b]"Five miles north of you is a solar tower responsible for powering several of the areas most crucial assets including hospitals and airbases, the former of which could be crucial to our defence should someone try to take advantage of the situation. British authorities want to send in a team of engineers to analyse the damage and fix the generator. Trouble is the tower is occupied and its occupants aren't budging. We need you to get a man inside and to keep him there. Streaming you directions and some details now. From now on I will be closely monitoring your progress and available instantly should you require additional information."[/b]

In a matter of a few brief minutes, the cold and somber atmosphere of the lonesome house of the Lord sprung to life as Anna's AR kicked it into high gear upon the strict and punctual voice of their American handler. Before her flashed several images, grainy at first, but able to make out on quick view of them. The solar tower was their main objective point, primitive yes, but in these dark and frozen hours that remained of humankind, it was necessary for survival, especially when you had medical emergency specialists and the British RAF's defense grid linked into the mass of solar cells rising to defy the heavens and the wrath of God himself. Speaking of defense, it appeared shabby around the power station, merely just a few scruffy looking men armed with standard grade assault rifles from what Anna could tell, but appearances and assumptions, sometimes they were deceiving. It was never clear to the Russian who or what could be behind the collapse of modern technology which in turn would surely lead to the fall of human civilization itself. What she did perceive from her handler's brief though were those three familiar letters, EMP.

That brought up a good roster of suspects, the usual, her birth country, China, North Korea, Iran. The aspect of this global shakedown was seeming to her to be of a more political nature than religious extremism, so certainly that ruled out Islamic terrorism cells and whatever holy-book thumping nutcase who wanted to get their hands around the deadliest weapons mankind's ever conceived, maybe that was one reason the Russian decided to....shun religion. Not exactly denouncing belief in a higher power, but refusing to serve such. She glanced a bit at her surroundings taking in the faces and other features of her fellow agents. They all appeared so....so professional compared to her, nicely attired too, compared to Anna looking like she ransacked a Hot Topic during the first wave of riots, yet she held her mission in much respect as these few individuals had as well.
