IC-OMAHA-Power Failure(Don/Declan/Adam/Emilio/etc)

The survivors from the T-Bone flee for the safety of Warren Air Force Base, while a lone woman struggles against all odds to stay alive in a very dangerous place. A small group of survivors races across Nebraska in a pickup truck. The helicopter group arrives in Omaha in a last ditch effort to save the world, but time is running out. Z-Day seems to last forever, but it will come to an end. The sun is getting lower, and night is coming...

Adam, In the Basement Hallway

Overhearing Becky:

"Enough cooks in the kitchen, huh?"

Adam reprimands himself: "A little less crying and I'd have been in there, actually making a difference. Way to go, tough guy... Ok. What to do now? They've got this under control and I'm not much of a guard against those zombies. Hmm...If they get the generator up, we'll be needing the EMP soon after. Maybe I should go double-check it then."

"Ok, listen. You two all right guarding down here? If so, I'm heading back up to the roof to do some final checks on the EMP."

In the basement hall-
"Yeah, I think we're good," said Becky.

Lucy nodded. "The EMP generator?" she said. "That's the device Stephanie was talking about. Hopefully you won't have to use it. It looks like they'll have the power on before too much longer."

Donald reads the various rooms that the circuit breakers control before he flips them off. "If any of these sound like they might be in use, be sure to tell me, else it won't have any power once the generator is back online."

OOC,Repair progress: 3/10
In the generator room-
The four mechanics continued their work repairing the generator while Tiny stood near Chuck alertly.
OOC,Everyone, roll Listen.
In the basement hall-
"Make sure the power stays on in whatever lab Stephanie and the other scientists are working in!" Lucy called into the generator room. "They need power to use that communications equipment."

Adam hurried back upstairs.

Intent on the task at hand and confident someone else is covering the rear, Montoya is deaf to any noise but the clanking of tools that´s used to fix the generator.

Becky checks Lucy and her grease gun out again, a slighty softer expression on her face this time.

"Uh... I'm uh, Beck-"

"What the fuck was that?"

In the basement hall-
Lucy cocked an ear and heard it too. "Sounds like a shotgun blast, somewhere upstairs!" she said. Neither woman could tell exactly where it was coming from, but the sound was some distance above and probably not on the ground floor.
OOC,Anyone in the generator room who succeeds at a Listen roll will hear it too.

OOC,No, [b]Becky[/b] is not currently in combat and hasn't actually moved anywhere, nor has she spoken a lot or performed any other time-consuming action. She is free to act on what she has heard.

Becky fights the urge to force her way into the crowded generator room for protection. She reasons that she would be trapped in there anyway. If she could just see what's happening up there, maybe she will know what to do. She pointedly takes a couple of steps toward the stairwell nearby and catches Lucy's eye.

"I assume you know how to use that thing... Should we find out what the hell's going on? I mean... before it finds us?"

"Yeah, I'm with you," said Lucy, hurrying with Becky to the stairs. "Dr. Hausmann and Stephanie are up there, and we have to protect them."

Stairwell near the generator room

Protecting the eggheads wasn't exactly what was on Becky's mind, but she is grateful to have Lucy with her. She follows, worried about her own safety, but also admiring the tough woman's thick, muscular figure on the stairs ahead of her. At least there were other people holed up with the brains. And there is safety in numbers. Immediately short of breath, she labors to waddle up the stairs close behind the stranger.

Donald was humming Amazing Grace to himself as he continued with the work, not hearing anything unusual. "Could you pass me those pliers?"

Declan complied passing the pliers over to Donald. Declan couldn't hear anything over the bustling activity going on around him. Declan looked up from the generator for a few passing moments after passing the pliers over. He hated the trapped feeling he was getting form the generator room.

In the basement stairwell-
"I've never really fired a submachine gun before," admitted Lucy. "Long guns are more my speed. Still, I'm good at smashing things with this pipe." She went upstairs with Becky.

In the generator room-
"I wonder who else has a shotgun," said Chuck as he worked. "Whatever they're shooting at, I hope they take care of it fast."

Tiny growled.

Emilio checks what Tiny is growling at and he gets the Louisville in a tight grip. At least he found the problem area with the generator. He rises and checks the door.

In the generator room-
Emilio couldn't tell what Tiny was growling about, but he often got agitated for no apparent reason. He might have been growling because of the gunshot, or maybe he was just antsy in general. A quick check of the door revealed that the hallway outside was empty.

"Make sure you lock that door," Daniel said to Emilio before turning his attention back to the generator.

The door gets locked and bolted. "Is there a sewer hatch here? Or maybe a maintenance crawl-space for air-ducts? Just want to know our options for getting out of here in a worst case scenario..." Emilio looks at the guys working on the generator.

In the generator room-
Donald Woodridge knew from years of working here that there was a sewer hatch in this room, in the southwest corner. The cover could easily be removed with a prybar, which he had in his toolkit. The sewers could provide a means of escape in the event that the school was overrun. There were also ventilation ducts running throughout the school, but all of them let out either in the building or on its exterior. They could not be used to get out of the school grounds entirely.
