Ilane works slowly, but surely. The cousins can feel the
gravity slowly coming back under them. Their suit sensors
show the atmosphere is slowly warming, and although they
can't hear it through their suits, there is a humm coming
from ventilator shifts as warm air begins to circulate into
the habitat as cold air is pulled out, processed and warmed
before being circulated back.
The lighting flickers then comes on. The overhead lights in
the control room were left on and all come back on. Across
the hall you *hear* (even through the suits) a bang and
April sees sparks flying from that room followed by white smoke.
Ilane starts a diagnostic running on the power plant. It
will take a minute before it is finished. While it is
running she checks the power she has and sees she's maxed
the power out from the boat. It's enough for now, but it
isn't quite enough to completely power up all the systems.
Then the diagnostic of the power plant finishes and it
flashes up in a window on the screen. There is a fusion
plant here, *and* it looks to be in working condition. It
looks like there is plenty of fuel in the tanks, too.

The power plant is in Section B. That is in the back of the
cavern. It is accessible from where you are by the catwalks
going across the cavern.
Section C appears to be the cavern itself where the boat is
now docked. Looking out on the cavern from the large window
in the control room you think a large ship, maybe two could
dock in there.

There is an almost new life support module here. It looks
like it might have only been on for a day or two. This
module could supply life support for the two air-tight
sections for months with only you two here.
