(Ysadora) Ysadora is waiting for you in the communications center, up to her invisible knees in loose wires and scrap metal. Her shoulders fall with relief as your group enters and she wades over to you. "Thank goodness you're here! I didn't expect so many people to respond to my request. Junes, Narwen, Umeko, and hey Wolfood, I'm guessing Syn brought up you up to speed already?" She greets each of you with a bob of her head and a smile. One of Ysadora's hands then gestures to the room at large. Frankly, it's a mess. One of the integrated monitors has been disemboweled, mechanical guts splayed outside it in a vain attempt to diagnose its failure. Similarly, a panel in the center of the floor has been pulled up and several large wires yanked through. From a glance, it's clear that whoever did this wasn't successful and may have even made things worse.

"It seems like the comms equipment is fine, but this room still doesn't have power. We haven't been able to figure out why," Ysadora explains, wiping some grease on her white robe absentmindedly. "The rest of the bunker's got it, and the main breaker's flipped for this place too, but in between, something's wrong. Smarter minds than mine have pointed out that the surrounding rooms are fine so the problem's likely localized. I can go and do something more useful, like standing by the breaker and flipping it for you, unless you've got a better idea." Parting her curtain of hair with her hands, Ysadora looks between the group expectantly.
(Pteryx) Pteryx looks around the room, rather dimly lit with some lamps hangin 'round. "Huey this there place looks like it needs to get ta be dragged ta an emergency room... but I ain't a mechanic." Absolutely nothing of them tech stuff made sense to Pteryx, but even they could tell the stuff here resembled a disembowled corpse!
(Junes) Junes gave a small wave to everybody here and shrugged "not my expertise either but i do have a way to remotely switch off or keep nanites from affecting stuff so hopefully that helps but ill do what i can otherwise" briefly going up to ysadora for a quick hug and letting her go to continue!
(Ysadora) Ysadora returns the hug, careful not to get grease on Junes.
(Narwen) Narwen approaches surprisingly lightly on all four paws, striped tail held high and looking unnecessarily pleased with himself. "Good morning, everyone! I heard there was a technical problem? Comms on the blink or something? Stuff needs hooking up? Well, don't worry, I'm here to help. I don't mean to brag, but this is not the most complicated system I've worked-- er." As the skunk beast squeezes into the room, actually getting a look at the sheer volume of cabling, his eyebrows go up and his strut falters a bit. "Though I was more on the software side than hardware. Also I had thumbs. Still, how hard can it be? Do we have a manual?" He stops to think a moment, and for once actually considers safety. "Also, where's the mains power running? Probably step one is not to fry anything. Or ourselves, I guess." His snout quests around, as though he could smell voltage.
(Umeko) Umeko gave a wave to everyone while looking like she just woke up not too long ago, letting out a little yawn while pouring herself a cup of hot coffee from a thermos and offering some to whoever else wanted some before sipping at it. "Hey there everyone, guess we've got our work cut out for us today... I don't expect much in the way of manuals for old secret cold war military projects, but who knows. Good news is that I have nanomagic to possibly help with repairs and getting things powered, or grounding us for safety purposes... Still, we're gonna have to figure out where exactly the problems are on our own most likely..." she said before giving a little 'hmmm' while staring at the mess of things in the room.
(Wolfwood) Wolfwood looks about with a frown. She loops her fingers over her tool belt as she takes in the task ahead of them. "Honestly, I'll take this old crud over nanites any day. Mmm..." The human purses her lips as she starts to consider the possibilities. "If you ask me, there's a burned out wire between here and the mains...ah! But where are my manners." She smirks at Ysadora and says, "Yeah, Syn brought me to speed. She originally asked me to come down to check if the trucks in the garage are salvageable but this is a pretty good use of my talents too. Luckily for you, I'm pretty sure I have a tool for testing voltage on me."
(Ysadora) For a moment, Ysadora's face is blank. "Uh... Yeah, I turned off the power to the room before I started rummaging around in here. I'm nearly certain of it. As for manuals, there's some documentation on the desks but I think it's all codes and encyrption stuff. Probably not going to help much with the actual machinery." With a nod to Wolfwood, Narwen, and Umeko, she continues, "It's nice to have some expertise on the scene. A burnt-out main wire is definitely probably likely. Then again, this is the Enigma Complex, so who knows what's really going on. If you start seeing any illusions, let me know." Ysadora taps Junes' head with a cheeky grin at this last. She then sidles toward the exit. "I'll leave it in the hands of these professionals then, shall I? And I'll go make absolutely sure the power is off for this room. Call me on the comms if you want me to turn it back on, or if there's something else I can do to help." With that, she slips out the door and is gone.
(Pteryx) Pteryx waves to Ysadora far too late, ghosted, so quickly too. Lookin 'round, he has... no idea what any of this stuff does. "Uh, y'all tech heads can handle this... but if any of y'all get injured in any way guess I've got sum tools hangin round fer that! Hmm, prob'ly electric groundin... might need some rubber..." This was way out of Pteryx's expertise, but he may as well tag along just in case they get stabbed by wires or somethin.
(Junes) Junes gave a wave to the newest arrivals and looked to narwen "ive got hands so you can guide me and, oh like umeko i can ground things too so ill be okay there or medical if someone gets a bad shock but we should be okay, and its good to see you all again!" taking their hoodie off to reveal a sweater with no sleeves and an interesting design "okay and if anyone sees something weird try not to worry about it by the way, id explain but it might be better to focus on this first for now"
