== Going to skip ahead to the current timeline to get the mission rolling. Feel free to stick Turner in a Jefferies Tube for some repairs, or we can have him hanging around engineering ==
Mulling over Nahamcam's technical journals had turned out to be well worth the hours he'd spent. Difficult as it had been to interpret some of the Pakled's notes, she'd managed to leave behind a few tips for keeping Frankenstein's Daughter together.
Power distribution hadn't been a particularly pleasant area of maintenance, even with the shipbuilder's notes. At the points where Pathfinder and Raider hulls met, he'd managed to pick up on some unencouraging dips in electroplasma transfer. Nahamcam had brushed over the inconsistencies, but Altairi wasn't particularly keen on doing the same. These levels had no place aboard the Tesla, the Aquila, nor the Philadelphia. As long as he was her chief engineer, they wouldn't have a place aboard the Yeager.
Dialing in a new round of reroutes, his fingers darted back and forth across the surface of the console, well-rehearsed movements he'd spend the last few days drilling into his head. Seconds after the console went dark, his fingers were still darting, keying buttons that no longer existed.
That's not good. He took a long look around his departments, trying to make out faces lit only by the warp core's glow. He took a small hopeful breath when emergency power started to kick in, but the hope was short lived. Before he could exhale, the lights were out again.
"I need flashlights passed out now!" He called out toward the back of the room, watching a dim-lit figure get to work withdrawing kits from the equipment rack. "And let's get tricorders out! Get me a readout on your consoles, the EPS grid, and somebody keep an eye on warp core containment! Mister Johnson, request an update from our people outside Engineering. Let's see how the rest of the ship's doing."
[Hydish to Bridge, do you read? Power just got cut in Engineering. Emergencies are offline too. Is something going on up there?]

== GM: What are the tricorder scans yielding, and does Hydish's message get through to the bridge? ==
