File:Tachyon Laser Mining Beam Activation and Destruction

Description
Orbital Satellite Delta-013 reports that the Tachyon Mining laser has been activated on Citadel Station.

Moments later it is completely destroyed as it has been fired into the stations own shields which bounce back and destroy the laser. SHODAN had planned on using the laser to destroy Earth's cities.

In fact if you activate the laser before you raise the shields you see a picture of one of Earth's cities being completely wiped out in a single blast. (possibly New Atlanta)

The laser was fired from Level 2 - Research.
