    actually it wasn't his device, he just fixed the chip that made it operate. Terra Nova wouldn't recruit as many techno whizzes as biologists and doctors, not much use for them. Not exactly like the US DoD has EMP shielding, they don't, kind of odd really, but they have the benefit of backups from all the resources at the US's disposal, which Terra Nova does not have, meteor hits are like 1 in 900 trillion. Besides as far as we know Hope Plaza has no idea of any Sixers who would use such a weapon.

      what makes you think critical electronics systems are not shielded against emp?
      how do you think satelites are still functional after a CME?

        in real life or terra nova?

        in real life, few things are shielded against EMP's its a rare event and these days things can be back up and running in minutes, so its not a very effective weapon.

        in terra nova they have no need to either, rare occurrence but i gather now it will be more shielded.

          1. "What is that?" A very big fireball cruising through the sky...

          2. Jim and Zoe were kind of cute.

          3. Not quite sure what Boylen's game is.

          4. Interesting...Luke seems nastier than Mira...what exactly is his issue?

              Even so...taking that out on Terra NOva as a whole is a bit out of order...

                Yeah, it was pretty ridiculous. Also, if you have a failsafe for The Eye in shielding it, then why not shield the means to use it too?
