+ | As the last of the new power lines were assembled the town can finally try to enact its escape plan. The townsfolk with the support of the S.P.A.R.T.A.N task force have been secretly constructing a subway in order to evacuate the town from the omnipresence of the storm cloud. | ||

+ | You and your team comply and descend into the subway system. You notice a bright blue glow coming from deep in one of the subway tunnels... Yup, it's definitely a pack of hungry EM-boar tigers, ready to munch on a subway car or something. You immediately radio up to Dr. Natkins to see what you should do. He explains that from their previous experiences with EM-boar tigers they become frightened by a magnetic field of 5mT. He also tells you the wiring embedded in the walls of the subway tunnel are arranged just like a big solenoid. | ||
