Oh, so there's just a battery somewhere in the pylon itself keeping it running? Can't kill it without killing the pylon and the plane, so ncd. Just gotta keep your flunkies from fixing the wire.

Xion sees the repair crew approach the broken piece of the wire with a battery in-hand. Xion, with his portal still open, aims. *ZIP* The crew member with the battery begins to waver. Xion has just ripped a plane in the crew member's temple in a quick nanosecond of a plane rip. Another member grabs the falling member, passes the battery to another member, and begins to return to the med bay. "Two with one stone, it seems." Xion says with a grin. Xion aims again...*ZIP* A large amount of crew members and the wire get snipped in two, again. The wire begins to slip down into the contained black holes.

Now, not only did they have a 3-inch gap to worry about, they have about a foot gap to deal with.

I'm evil, aren't I?
