"Ah, technology: improving and simplifying our lives. Theoretically."--Billy Mayfly, CEO of Mayfly Acquisitions and Corporate Philosopher
Turn 5<- Turn 4 | Turn 6 ->Try to stealthily escape the building.
3. You sneak all the way to the elevators at the center of the floor, aided by the darkness. You then realize that the elevator buttons aren't working. You hear the elevator move past you - the power outage must just be on this floor. You try the stairs only to find the fire doors jammed shut.
You wonder how this building passed its fire safety inspections.
"Who's gonna get a sick beating now, you mean? That would be you."
An evil glint sparks in Jake's eyes, and he proceeds to take the bar and whack him with it several times.
2. The bar continues to evade your grasp, like an iron serpent that handicapped people apparently need nearby to poop. Lindeman get to his feet and swings again (2) but misses. You thank the fact that your head seems to be as good at evading the bar as your hands are.
Eh. Accounting. Nobody likes them bastards anyway and power outages don't fall into your job description. Back to base cubicle, then.
5. You go back over to IT. As Law comes into view, you realize the entire building is dark except for HR. Oops.
Luckily for you, the IT manager is a bit paranoid so she used the raffle profits to buy a number of portable generators for the department. They can keep all of IT running for up to an hour.
You log in to your computer and find a few new emails.

Since the power came on my stop Nix monitor has been a lot brighter than before. I saw you around and he's leaving was hoping you had enough time to deal with this. It's really starting to the elevators give me a headache.
From: Alexis O. Livingstone, IT Manager
To: IT
As you all have noticed, there has been a floor-wide power outage. Luckily for us, I was prepared for this, and our entire department is still running. The rest of the building seems functional except for the fire doors, which are malfunctioning. Security and maintenance are trying to get in. I've been assured they will shortly.
Nonetheless, we can stay running until approximately 9:35. Should the outage continue past 9:00, we'll start turning off some of your computers to keep going for longer. For now, enjoy the break from dealing with Finance's and Law's computers.
From: Jon H. Kleinsman, Floor Administrator
To: Finance, HR, IT, Law
It seems some office tricksters are taking advantage of our situation to spread practical jokes and false rumors. I assure everyone that we are perfectly safe. Security is coming to deal with anyone who is making a disturbance.
If you see anyone spreading rumors or lies, I urge you to disregard them and report them to me immediately.
Hit Lindeman over the head with bottle of Scotch and then say a cool catchphrase.
2, 1. You jab at him with your bottle of scotch (1d3 damage, fragile) but miss. Ignoring this setback, you blurt out the phrase "Looks like this one's on the Lindemans." Both your swing and your swagger are quite unimpressive.
Find the janitors and let them know about the power out.
2. You wander around and can't find a single one. Maybe there aren't any on the whole floor. That would suck.
