Subject: Why didn't Jorge and Six just EMP the Spire

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a completely ad-hoc plot device"
— David Langford

So the entire upper part of the Spire is held up by hard-light pillars and whatnot, right? Hard-light pillars (like hard-light bridges and platforms) only exist when they're turned on. 1So if Jorge and Six had just EMPed the Spire, the power would go out, the hard-light pillars turn off, suddenly nothing's supporting the upper half of the Spire. Big Covie base fall down go boom, and they don't even need to go up top and fight the fuel-rod grunts and sword elite.

Oh, and that's the other thing. Why are the grunts firing off highly explosive rocket-launcher analogs in an enclosed space filled with important-looking equipment?

If anything, I doubt it would go through the shields.

you gotta emp the power source, the hard light pillars are projected energy, they are not the course of the energy, it like trying emp'ing a radio set by emp'ing the radio waves it broadcasts.

I'm not sure those are 'hard light' pillars...

Seemed more like a grav lift style thing.

It's better to break the equipment than to be dead. Lol.

On topic: I do find it odd that the Spire is constructed in pieces and is held up by the anti-grav. However, like others have said, you would have to EMP the power source of the anti-grav pillars.
