From memory, this was the extremely hexatious LOS... there were all sorts of counter stacks obscuring the factory, I got excited that I had a kill stack with a 9-2 in range and with only a net +1 DRM (I thought), didn't even think to check that it would go outside the building depiction. Stupidity is a great teacher!
