> orders the facility remain on emergency diesel generation power until after the UAP20 intercept mission is completed. This is a very odd command to give
Since when is "we've got enough fuel, let's deal with one issue at a time" an odd command?

Holy baseless speculation, Batman!

Or not "baseless" on the assumption the power fluctuations are both: unusual (for the power-hardened facility it is clearly stated at the start); and coincident with the shootdown.
I don't think "we've the fuel, one at a time" is odd, but that's not the oddness that's inferred there.
It's odd because that facility should be experiencing those issues, and those issues should not be somehow linked to an op. Multiple ways to read, but I think's obvious. Also more fun! hahaha :)

That specific line was baseless speculation. There's nothing to suggest countermeasures at that point and the whole line is redacted.

I'm not sure that's as relevant as the page implies. We'd have to know the exact procedures, but having a site with multiple power sources and protections doesn't mean the switching system can never fail. If you have 2 failures in a short time, the best course of action is very likely "stop touching that thing until someone qualified figures out what's going wrong".

Heh! :) Okay, I think you might be missing the bigger picture.
What is so crazy for you about the idea that there are countermeasures? It does seem like you are trying quite hard to say "This cannot be the case, absolutely."?
Also, if you have time, you don't think the first “Installation of the Future” concept prototype... additional microgrids and “self-reliance” power generation systems implies a certain level of technical competence were failures would be highly unusual?
