Meta Puzzle 1 - We're Surrounded

Puzzle:

It looks like we’re getting surrounded. What do we need to get our forcefield back up and running?

[Solution: Realizing the prevalence of the sixes in this puzzle (6 solutions used, hexagons, 6 red brackets, numbers 1 through 6) puzzlers realize they must take the six letter solutions obtained throughout the hunt. Puzzlers must then organize the words in a pattern around the red hexagons so they are read in a CW or CCW direction and the overlaps all work out. This part is like a logic puzzle. Once all solutions are entered correctly (shown below), reading the red hexagons in order of the number yields the answer SHIELD.]
