Ok so the horrible coms issue

[NutBucket]

Just remember, "line of sight" coms is a much different beast than over the horizon coms. One generally requires no infrastructure while the other doesn't work without it. That's the big difference.

Most SCADA systems are on closed networks too and will use rather proprietary systems. I can swact radios and stuff on ours at work, I could bring down the whole north if I needed to, and when we used to handle cell sites I could turn them down and up as needed. But an average person who got to a computer and was lucky enough that the app was already open would still not know what to do.

Though I suppose someone with experience would at least know where to look, if they broke into a building that had such systems. A tech might have his laptop open with a sticky note with a password etc and you go from there, then dig in documentation. Depends how much time the attacker really has.

And yes, I won't be leaving a tip, 'cause I could... I could shut this whole resort down. Sir? I'll take my traveler's checks to a competing resort. I could write a letter to your board of tourism and I could have this place condemned. I could put... I could put... strychnine in the guacamole. There was salt on the glass, BIG grains of salt
