You attempt to fix the fuel pump again.

0!*

You do your best.

Your attempt at fixing the pump decidely... blows up the lightning system on the station. The bright yellow and blue lamps flicker and die down, and then the alert lights turn on.

Dim, dark red, on the doors and consoles.

A) Oops. Hopefully the comms station is still working! Because I gotta send a repair request!
B) Let's go to the reactor core and replace the blown fuses... because I only blew up some fuses, right? Right?

You hop onto the comms station and send out a call for help.

There is good news and bad news.

Good news is that the communications relay is working.

Bad news is that the subspace transmitter is not. That means that sending out signals anywhere outside Aries will take, well, light-years. You ponder if you are able to-

"Everything right at the station?" The short-range receiver buzzes with Louise Pereres' voice. "Your distress signal woke me up, and that is not fun."

A) "Nothing to worry about, miss Pereres. Please resume your rest."
B) "A fuse blew and I have lost lightning on the station, nothing I can't fix however. Please resume your rest."
C) "A fuse blew and I have lost lightning on the station. I know you're SRC client and not a fixer-for-hire, but can you assist?"

"A fuse blew and I have lost lightning on the station. I know you're SRC client and not a fixer-for-hire, but can you assist?"

"Hold on." There's silence and a long wait of approximately twenty seconds.

"I can tell you that your problem is the main distribution node above the reactor room. If the ship's sensors aren't mistaken, not only a fuse blew, but it fried the main power conduit. I think you can still bring the lights back if you switch to secondary conduit?"

You look around the console.

A moment later you manage to bypass the main circuit and route power through secondaries. The dark red alert lights are turned off, only to be replaced by colorful lamps and guiding lights, turning on in bulk in every corner of the station.

"Do not count on me going down there to fix your fuse problem. My artificial half doesn't get drunk, but I can feel in my hands and legs that my biological parts do. Good night." The captain of 'Most Fortunate Occurence' turns off the commlink.

You check on other systems; anything that wasn't down before the electrical problem, including the long-range transmitter, is back online again.

You wonder what to do.

A) Ping Louise for help, again.
B) Keep the power routed through secondaries for now.
C) Try to fix the routing problem from the console.
D) Descend into the reactor area to access - and hopefully, fix - the blown conduit.
