Ciao Diego. Anche se dalla la struttura della frase e dalla virgola il verbo sembrerebbe teoricamente riferito a "you", in realtà è riferito a "power stations", perché tradurre nell'altro modo naturalmente non avrebbe senso, dando luogo a una contraddizione logica. Infatti, i due interlocutori, cioè la persona che parla e il lettore, sono contrapposti al nemico menzionato poco prima (Spinyback), che probabilmente si identifica con il "padrone" ("master") di queste "power stations", di cui, in base alla logica, sono queste ultime a eseguire gli ordini e non certo chi lo combatte.
