Of course, *how* to do it is a bit more tricky. You can connect the boat to the small umbillical, and see if you can feed power from it to the asteroid's systems. You might also be able to check any computers that here, but powered down. >> Ilane clumps over to the hatch on the side of the wall, >> and plugs her a cable from her suit into a socket on >> it.

There isn't enough power being radiated in there to do much more than keep oxygen in the atmosphere from freezing out. Eris AKU GM
