Subject: Well, this is not good.

Far as I can tell, everything should have been good to go. Yet here we are, powerless. People are taking it well but we've got a lot of work to do. Molly, if you're amneable, another set of eyes might go well on the rectifier here while I double-check your work on the cross-connects. I don't question that you did your work and did it well, but another set of eyes.

Clint, if you can get out to the Net, can you check local newsfeeds? Breakers look good so I don't think we shorted across anything but if you're comfy with a multi-meter we can use someone to tone out the major power feeds, make sure we didn't have a dumb and short across something we shouldn't have.

PS - Clint, if you need some extra hands, hit up April. She's got the degree and this would be good practical experience. Plus the more people with clue we can throw at this, the faster it'll go.

Hey everybody, I'm sure you guys noticed when three PM rolled around and basically everything kinda shut off? Well, the medlab's still up and running and so are all of our essential systems for the DR, the wormhole, etc etc.

Backup generators should be kicking in soonish, since they were running already, but if you had something going somewhere, you might wanna double check it or stick it in a freezer/fridge real quick. Don't wanna waste food and the generators aren't used to being on, turned off, and then immediately turned back on.

This is an all-hands kinda request, so if you've got any particular know-how when it comes to electricity, please help out with... I dunno, whatever's deemed most important.

Kyle, I'm gonna need some help with a perimeter run to make sure everything's good there. I'm at the Chapel now, so you can swing by and just grab a comm unit off my desk in the belltower, if you want.

April, can I get some help from you double checking the wiring down where we were in the mansion's subbasement? The pathway's lit, the previous info is being sent to your phone now and what the current layout of our very special powergrid should look like is coming along in a minute. I am like 99.9% I did everything right, but as most people know, I'm colorblind so it's possible I mixed up a wire or something somewhere down there. I'm crossing my fingers that's not the actual issue.

Can somebody more in charge of things than me take over stuff? Pretty please?
