What the shock is up with the lights?

Tommy, are you breaking time again or something?

	No! I don't know what's going on, everything feels fine. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Can you tell if anything's worn itself out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tom_jr 2019-07-09 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	That's what I'm saying. Everything's working fine, it's just that there's not enough power for the lights. I know that makes no sense, but it's true. Nothing's broken. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Where are you? Lecture theater? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	On my way round. Dig out any schematics you've found and we'll see what we can work out. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Not a bloody clue, mate. Any thoughts? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	miguel_ohara 2019-07-09 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	It's only the lights. No other circuits seem to be affected, as far as I can tell. Or at least, none of my machines or computers have been flickering or cutting out. And Lyla says the atmosphere hasn't altered at all. So my thoughts are currently "Annoying, but not dangerous yet". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is possibly. Could be nothing. But what happened to the power? If everything else is working, where's the power going? I doubt a place like this is experiencing a duff fuse. So the power must be going somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know yet. Maybe we just need to change the batteries. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would be nice if it were that simple, mate. And for our sake, I hope it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miguel_ohara 2019-07-09 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	It won't be, but that would be nice, yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worksbestalone_ 2019-07-09 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	Tell me if you find anything interesting, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If you could reroute the power again from the shields? I'm out here working on the damn things and the fucking computer keeps turning it on. It's a pain in the ass. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	tom_jr 2019-07-10 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	Oh! Oh, no wonder it doesn't feel broken. It thinks that's what it's supposed to do, okay. That makes sense. Can you give us a few minutes? It'll be a lot quicker if I can get to a control panel rather than just grabbing at wires and conduits. Are you doing a spacewalk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, usually it steals power from wheel five, or four I don't know why it's taking it from three, but the damn thing is malfunctioning and using to much power. It hasn't stollen any from gravity or life support yet, but that's what I'm trying to prevent.

I'm already out here dude. I'm kind of trapped between it and one of the things that produce the shield. So I'm not going anywhere.

	Oh. ~~shit~~ I'm at a control panel now. I'll have a look and see where it's malfunctioning, and report back to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks. I kind of can't move more than a little bit. But I'm connected to the station life support so as long as that doesn't go out, I've got a while. (Reply to this) (Parent)
