Ricktus knew this was going on in the other three Control Towers, as well. One of the nearby Rebels covered the earpiece of his radio with his hand, then turned to Ricktus. All units report ready, Ricktus. The radio-wielding Rebel nodded. Ricktus nodded back, picked up his own radio, and pushed the talk button.
All units are ready.
Suddenly, four laser blasts burst forth, one from each Control Tower, all aimed directly at the Central Tower. Each one hit home. Paseo was rocked by thunderous noise as chunks of the Agents' headquarters exploded out onto the street below. By this time, flame poured out of the Central Tower at several different places. Glass had been blasted so far that some shards were probably swimming in Odin Lake.
