Someone Didn't Pay the Electric Bill
WHO: Cal Kestis, Kaz Brekker, Asterope Glass, Merrin and whoever might want to drop by
WHERE: Not-Temba/Sh'Ka's Power Station and related areas
WHAT: Cal's assembled a team to work on restoring the power and maybe establish communication from the other city
WHEN: End of August to mid-SeptemberOMG WHY IS IT SEPTEMBER ALREADY
WARNINGS:Kaz N/A
Basecamp was set up within some of the offices of the power station, with a space for a rudimentary campfire outside if people wanted to heat up food or water to drink or use in general, or just enjoy the fresh air at night. Cal had brought along a couple of portable space heaters he'd cobbled together in case things got too cool inside at night, free for anyone's use.
The first day had mainly consisted of setting up a space for them to stay in and unloading whatever they'd managed to bring by way of equipment and rations, and a bit of territory scouting to see what was available for them. While the water plant, wherever that was, would have to be another project entirely, at least water itself was available, if requiring a bit of a walk from the station. Kyle's buddy system would be recommended, mainly out of concern for the large creatures that have been known to dwell within the wooded areas not far from there.
The power plant itself would be the next thing to look at to see what might need repairs, and if parts would be needed from the other city. Cal had Reeve's notes to share as well as previous experience in working on power restoration for Temba, and the similarities between the cities would make things at least a little easier. The most tedious part would be inspecting the connecting lines to make sure there wouldn't be any damaged areas that might cause problems if they went ahead and turned everything on. This would take the longest time, so the inspections would be divided up in sections, and they'd check back in after each one. The option to swap out between engineers would also be there so no one would be stuck with any one task, and Merrin would be able to bring them back and forth as she got more familiar with the layout of things.
It would be a lot of work and effort, but if there were things worth learning here, getting this done would be a key part to it.
((OOC: Feel free to treat this as a mingle and task sort of thing! Working on stuff? Taking a break? Getting chased by bunnyboars? Dropping off care packages for your hard-working engineers and friends? Do it do it do it! I will post an update on progress once I get some infos~))

Kaz does backtrack a bit, cane making that same 'thunk' that often punctuated his steps. He came to where Merrin already was and indeed she had found a box for breaker switches. Nodding, Kaz turned off his flashlight and stowed it away in his pocket. He opens the box, clears a few cobwebs by waving his hand, and flips the first switch. There's a groan from somewhere then what was definitely the sound of something powering up further away. Encouraged by this, Kaz flips the next switch. Unlike the first, the second makes no sound at all. Kaz tried flipping the second time but to no effect. He cursed under his breath.
"The cable for this one has been broken somewhere. It looks like we'll have to find where that is before this circuit would work."
((OOC; Sorry for the delay. Mods said it was okay to make stuff up, just that the power station not start powering Sh'Ka until October c: ))

"What does this cable look like?" she asks, assuming this means that they'll have to go look for it. Again, she's contemplating that seeking spell. If only it were that easy...

"It looks like this."
Kaz had fished his mag lite flashlight out of his pocket again and shined it on the thick cables that came directly from the box. He sighed in annoyed resignation.
"Now I'll need to check the whole length of the power station to find where the cable is broken. That will just be busy work, though, so if you want to just give me back the bag, I won't ask you to stick around for that part."
