Perfectly timed and composed.

I'm going to research (interwebs) this a bit to determine if the tether is lit up the entire length like that or if it's just slow shutter speed. Seems that it would reveal the technician's position as pictured.

It flashes like that almost instantly, much like a muzzle flash would and does temporarily reveal your position. Think of it as a normal combustable blast fuse where the entire length of the fuse burns/light up almost instantly (roughly 6500 fps)

ok I see. Thanks for that. I had to run some errands and didn't get a chance to research on my own.
