Hi there,

I just pictured what _could have_ happened to Boulder - especially as a response to what Robzombie mentioned; I don't say that this _has_ happened in that way. I just want to stress the little fact, actually, that Little Ones act a lot more strategic, commando-style, cautious and a lot more effective then regulars - and it were mainly regulars that nearly obliterated L.A. of life in less then a day. Therefore I don't see it as unlikely that even a single Little One could actually push Boulder over the edge.

That aside: I am with you regarding the communication thing. As soon as there would be an attack, the local military would a) try to deal with it and probably b) report it to mission HQ (Fort Irwin), unless they mistake the attack is just another regular attack. Actually we don't know the regular work-around for any incident, if each one needs to be immediately reported to Fort Irwin or if there is some kind of schedule ... In the latter case: Imagine an attack on Boulder and a little One directly aiming at the main power facility ... We don't know the infrastructure of Boulder; but if all the Boulder power or at least all the power for communications is 'centralized', well make up your mind what would happen if THAT one is taken down.

And about the weather/ storm being the source of interrupted com-links ... Well ... Red herring or something like that ... ?

All the best!
