TELETYPE AUTOSCRIPT ARDA ref HOPPER, G. - 1140-211163
Well I'm very sorry to hear that you find my anger and frustration difficult to deal with, even intimidating, but I wonder if you'd react the same way if any of your male colleagues came to you with similar complaints of dissatisfaction. I've been on hold for two hours and I'm calling to warn you of a new danger that it is very much in everyone's interest to know about, do you understand?
No, listen to me. Write this down. We're seeing more and more Anomalies capable of electrogenesis, of producing electrical energy like an eel or a ray, but at remarkable levels. This is enormously dangerous and I don't care about what secrets ARDA wants to keep, this is about people's safety. Their lives! This has nothing to do with me trying to muscle in on research or put myself back on some half-assed program, it's about you idiots understanding the risks you're hiding from people. Now let me send this data through.
Oh, you want to talk about theories? How are you on LIM interpolation, or Patel's theory that ARDA have twisted half the Peninsula into some kind of Klein bottle, where the inside is now the outside as well? Or do you want to put me through to somebody who is actually interested in making things happen?

Synopsis
Minuteman are metal poles that rise out of the ground and link together with electricity. They often follow the path of a Crackling Crawler and are summoned when a Wriggling Wreck is activated.
Counter
Aside from avoiding the electricity which arks between these anomalies, activation of the LIM Shield ability before contact will prevent damage.
Having insulated doors, panels, and/or bumpers equipped to the car may help reduce damage taken, though it will never provide true immunity. It will, however, block the Charged effect from affecting neighboring parts.
Junction Conditions
These anomalies cause your car to experience a speed boost when a junction has the Shocking Speed condition in effect.
These anomalies cause your car's battery to drain faster when a junction has the Disruptive Discharge condition in effect.
These anomalies confer more damage to your car when a junction has the Violent Voltage and/or Overcharged Electricity conditions in effect.
