USing another small program, examin the actual harddrive/fan of the terminal.

Toaster: Unplug the printer, using the LART so I don't shock myself.
Frelock: Investigate weird fan-noise.
Qwertyuiopas: Quickly check for unauthorized processes.
Noctis: Help with the rescue effort and extinguish all signs of fire left, let Toaster disconnect the printer.
Nuker: USing another small program, examin the actual harddrive/fan of the terminal.
Flintus10(GM'd): Check the printer for signs of sabotouge.

Toaster smacks the printerer's plug out of the socket with the LART.
Flintus examines the printer. There don't appear to be any hardware problems with the safety mechanism...
Noctis cleans up the last remnants of fire and begins to load up all the injured lusers into the elevator. The elevator begins to plummet down to ground level... and the power goes out. Hope the safety mechanisms kick in.

Frelock, picking up on the same vibe as Qwerty feels the output of the fans. Something's definitely heating them up a lot.
Nuker uses his diagnostic program to look at the power going to the fan, because he damn well can.
Qwertyuiopas looks at the processes running on the server. Sure enough, there's some rouge process taking up 100% CPU. The power goes out.

Ah, so it was skynet...

Improvise a source of light. (Probably would be a collection of LED's from the server, combined with my small battery on the voltmeter/battery charger/calculator/tone generator.

Also, I'm going out of town tomorrow.  I'll have internet here and there, but don't wait up for me.

Look for basic signs of interferance (a hidden little chip into the terminal, a cd playing, flash drive]

Great....Now we are in quicksand-deep trouble.
Improvise a source of light(Flashlights or candles), while avoiding the ex-elevator well bottomless pit.

Am I with the elevator group?

If so, Attempt to open the top grate of the elevator.
Otherwise, Look for a light source.

You're not in the elevator.

Theorically you would never reach the elevator before the bottom because both of you have an acceleration rate of 1g and the elevator started to fall first...That's no different to suicide!
Consider about that ;)

They're already at the bottom.

Theroretically, you would both accelerate downwards at the same rate, but remember that this elevator is specially designed to increase it's air resistance. You'd still die though.

0 minutes after incident

Qwertyuiopas ponders the rouge process. Its process name was iexplore.exe, probably using a vulnerability in IE to access the machine. Nuker looks at the print server terminal, but there appears to be no hardware tampering.
Frelock uses some spare LEDs, some small bulbs from some antiquated equipment, and two CFLs to implement a three-level lighting system integrated into his calculator. Level one uses one unit of charge every turn but only dimly illuminates close-up objects, level two uses five units every turn and is equivalent to a normal flashlight, and level three can brightly light an entire room at a cost of twenty-five charges a turn.
The calculator has four large Lithium cells that can hold up to 2000 units of charge, plus whatever batteries are inside the charging apparatus. The charging apparatus can supply any amount of voltage, with the batteries supplying 12 volts DC. It includes a variable transformer that can convert voltages (with a Voltage/12 multiplier to power usage).

Noctis and Toaster have similarly photophyllic thoughts, Noctis deciding against using his swiss army knife as a light (it gets its energy from the holder's body...) and instead scrounges up two flashlights from a janitor's closet, containing 2 D-cell batteries each (200 units, uses 5 units per turn switched on).
Flintus considers going after the elevator... but reconsiders this suicidal action after hearing the elevator's emergency brakes engage with the wall. Anyway, what could you do?

Panick for a bit before making sure to maintain that I totally could have caught the elevator.

Then suggest to the others that we should probably find other workers throughout the office
