<p><b>Distress Beacon</b><br>
The <a href="structures_observatory.html">observatory</a>
punches through the nano-gridlock, sending an
emergency signal to the neighboring dropship.
The dropship immediately sends reinforcements,
homing in on the signal's location, and spending
large amounts of energy to create temporary &quot;subject
fields&quot; out of the construction nanos in
the ceiling-based command network. The squad immediately
returns to full deployment. The reinforcements
get there every time, but it is incredibly stressful
and dangerous for the dropship's engines (not
to mention the dropship's commander). See <a href="front_phasetech.html">phase
technology</a> for more information on phase travel.</p>
