Our Marshal ran it as if the combots, Rosalita, and centipede were military-grade shielded.
IOW, we got the combots in the immediate area of the penultimate fight, and most of the
surrounding electronic equipment, cameras, etc. Basically, once detonated, it dropped the
combots and trimmed the fight down to the muties. Afterwards, we still had the battle with the
centipede.

My advice is to use the EMP as a literal plot device. Let it affect what you want and not hit
what you want the PCs to encounter.
