The boat's standard connectors fits the umbilical's standard connectors, so it all goes smoothly with April's assistance. Next, you go to the boat's controls and feed power to the asteroid's systems. You go slowly to make sure it works...and it does work! April is with the fusion engine and electrical generator in the back of the boat making sure it is not having a problem with the heavier load being put on it. She watches the numbers on the small console back there and notes that the power level rises slowly then levels off at 97%. >> [PTGM: How many days endurance does this ship boat's >> power plant have, at maximum output?] As posted earlier, you have over two weeks at maximum output, so you should be fine here as long as you only stay a day or two then head back. > [PTGM: Did the procedure go okay? What systems on the > base did Ilane manage to get online?] Ilane, starts trying to access the controls of the systems on the asteroid. She finds that she can't. She can get a brief report out of them, but the base's computer won't allow her to give it any other orders remotely. She'll have to go to it and work on a console there. The report Ilane gets is: 1. Life Support in stand by mode in Sections A and B. 2. Life Support reports hull breech and complete shutdown in Section C. 3. Power Systems: Fusion engine shut down with no reported faults; Power Cell standby power at 15% providing minimum power to Life Support and Computer Systems. External power source detected, awaiting directions on its use. 4. Gravity Systems, off line, no reported faults. 5. Security System, off line, faults reported. 6. Computer Systems active, but under low power. It looks like everything except Life Support in Section C and the Security Systems can be brought online without doing any repairs if you can get the base's Computer to accept directions from you. You'll need to do some work on Section C (whatever that is) to repair the hull breech before you can restore life support to that. You'll also have to diagnose the faults and make repairs to the Security Systems before they can be brought online. Eris AKU GM
