Wasn't Mikhail's job at the Flame Station running the satellite uplink?

Maybe that's why he was sooo irritated. Here he is, trying to get the link to work, wondering if the magnetic pulse had taken everything out, and here Ben was jamming everything all along.

Ben's lucky Mikhail didn't shoot him right there.

In fact, from the way Mikhail acted inside Looking Glass, I think he was seriously considering turning on Ben...but then didn't.

I think getting to shoot the two women in cold blood was what tipped the scales for him.
