If you got it flowing over here, you think it may turn on the whole thing?
*Walks over to the dead pylons*


The terminals should be powered, but unless these towers are transmitting information wirelessly, we may be able to bypass them entirely.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

What’s different?


One has some form of power flowing, but there's no guarantee it's flowing correctly.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

Neither device?


These are in two different states, but neither is known to be correct.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Despite the power being applied to the system nothing powers up. Electricity arcs up the pylons but does not arc between them like it does on the other side*


Part of the issue is that neither device has a known good state to reference.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

You figured it out?


We'll see. It may blow the circuit.
*The miniature power box starts to channel energy through the wires, slowly at first, and then ramps up*

*They seem to be intended to both funnel power from the floor, as well as generate power on its own through a small reactor to self-sustain, but both of those seem non-functional*


*A small, fist-sized cylinder extends from my palm, and I place it on the floor*
We may be able to hijack these connections.
*Pulls a series of wires from the cylinder and clamps them onto the power feed wires*
<Snipped quote by Legend>

*They all seem connected, but no power is running from the inactive pylons through to any of the corresponding machinery*


*Follows the connections to the pylons and checks the machinery they run through*
<Snipped quote by Legend>

*No loose cabling or otherwise apparently faulty mechanisms seem to exist here, as it is surprisingly similar to conventional modern texh, despite the architecture everywhere else being rustic*


*Traces any wires connecting the terminals to other structures*

Do what you have to do. We need to ground this thing. Even if it is malfunctioning and scouting, I don’t want it malfunctioning and also setting off any doomsday weapons either.


*Nods*
I'll get it done as quickly as I can.
*My image becomes translucent and splits into two, and each goes to a set of terminals, tracing any exposed cabling*
<Snipped quote by Legend>

Can you tell what's wrong? I know you're savvy, but I don't know how much this kind of stuff works like what you do.


I'm going to have to open both sets of devices and trace their components. Are you comfortable with that?
