Whatever is down there represents a potential resource that should not be destroyed if it can be compromised.
So the question is... were the builders so paranoid that they would drop a rock on it if someone entered the wrong password?
If the likelihood is too great then the platform has to be neutralized. EMP or maybe a handful of commandos set to drift to it and attempt to gain access and control or, failing that... place the EMP bombs and drift away to be recovered before the thing short circuits.
Just my 2 ₵
Actually, it would be the job of a specially trained infiltration team which in the current era(modern earth) would be best filled by some soft of specialized operational force. the EoC has very few missions of this sort and would spin up a force for this 'to order' based on the efficiency hit that would be taken by not being able to transport the force as a Rapid Response Unit. This is shown by how they rescued Irys and Daviyn from the Go4.
However, my analysis of the situation is that the best way to handle this long term is to 'let the genie out of the bottle' so to speak and force the Go4 to go so far down the technology path that there is no way to bring invention and innovation back under control.
There is a risk that is posed by the return - however it is not known who or what it returning. For all we know it could be Kody...[/quote]
My point is that it is a small team that has to enter the control room. If Special Forces is not the correct term... educate me/us.
Perhaps the team that was conducting assassinations of vicars can be given a supply of snarcs and enter the area disguised as cleaning crew. Drop the snarcs off one five day have them run a week on passive settings and pick the up the next. Then Green Valley and Merlin work out the operation and supply the cleaning crew goes in and cleans up.
Just my two cents
