Somehow, no one remembered to tell them what any half-competent fool should have seen. We configured everything just like they told us to, but when we flipped the switch something crackled, and the whole system started billowing smoke. The switch was killed, but by then it was too late because now that things had gotten started, the other power supply could drive the destruction all by itself. Before anyone could get to it, the fire alarm went off and we had to clear out before the halon dump. When we got back in, there was nothing left but burned and melted circuit boards. Only a few basic electrical components still functioned. For being the project lead and having to deal most with the bosses everyone voted that I got to keep the kill switch everyone longed to press, and probably would have if it could have been passed off as an accident.”
