The Command Ship's Live Wires

Tangled skeins of exposed wiring pulled from the Command Ship's systems, stripped bare of insulation by Romana and Clare. The wires crackle with unstable electricity, delivering shocks strong enough to disable the Krarg enforcers. Their raw, unshielded ends spark when touched by the Krargs, the energy surging through the creatures in bursts of blue-white light. The wires' makeshift nature contrasts with the ship's advanced technology, yet their lethality proves decisive in turning the tide against Skagra's tyranny.
