I know my ideas are out there..
Just leading off of what you said Reaper,
what if you hit the box til it transports while a lightning storm is occurring. This allows the power to transfer over to something. Each location is activated with this, like reaper was referring to box orbs and activating power lines
perhaps it is that those orbs that need to be transferred, to activate each location. (Box orbs at each site). lighting storm allows just that.
First get a box orb to appear
then wait til lighting
then send it away.
