566 Strategy - Part 2

RIKA

Tarkyn called Reece over while they spoke so he could hear Rika brief the male.

"…the kill-switch works in two parts," Rika told Reece quickly, whose face was pale, but who listened carefully, while Tarkyn and Gar watched on. "When it's activated it will uninstall certain connections between devices, so the command devices are far more limited in what they can access when they're online. Then, if we don't cancel from there, an EMP pulse will kill everything digital or electronic—including the tasers."

Reece nodded, but the confusion in Tarkyn and Gar's eyes was hard to miss. Rika looked at them quickly. "Do you want me to explain? Do you need to know how it works? Or do you just need to understand that this is a… a signal that will turn off all the technology, no matter what its purpose?"

"Is it reliable?" Tarkyn asked quickly.

Rika nodded. "Unavoidable."

"Then that is enough."
