Never heard of it? It's a massive cannon filled with bees on the edge of town. You can't miss it!
It's been in the papers for months! Where've you been?

As for his occupation, Ryanderman's a
student and, aside from the obvious lure of
delicious evil science honey, our investigation has shown that the suspect was
witnessed having a confrontation with the weapon's developer,
NonCon, hours earlier at the
Local Drinking Establishment, NPF's hottest local drinking establishment.

But you'll hear about that
later.

Security at the compound, though? They
keep the security cameras rolling, but apparently the operation was running under the assumption that only an
idiot would actually
want to break into a place filled with
endless hordes of bees, so they didn't take too many precautions beyond
filling the place with bees.

Unfortunately, we don't really know what caused the power surge since
the cameras went out and the machine is huge, complicated, and
next to impossible to investigate at the moment due to all those bees in it, but the running assumption is that he
tripped over a cord.
