It could be a scenario out of a SciFi movie: The surgeons are in a room on one end of the earth, operating via a high-tech robot on a human brain with the patient being situated in a completely different city. Suddenly the lights go out. The emergency power kicks in and the emergency lights illuminate the room in a dull red color. Then the robot stops responding. The surgeons are confused and start tapping frantically on keys on their keyboards to get the robot to do its work again but to no avail.
