Ch.2 Exxon Pumping Station #31

[Philulhu]

The power supply (like an internal transformer) is damaged beyond repair and will need to be replaced. One of the circuit boards has a gouged surface and will need to be replaced and some of the internal wiring will need to be re-soldered.

Fortunately, it’s modular so designed to have components swapped in and out for the most part.

Trying to distract himself after all he saw, Boyd asked:
"What parts do you need?"

[Joajackson]

Amanda spoke with a much less positive tome.

"And describe it in something understandable, se dont want to be going arround taking unnecesary pieces."

"If the parts are here, we'll find them," says Benjamin.

[Snapper]

Randy manoeuvred the grate open and looked down.

"In your own time, Ben."

He called down the shaft, "Anyone down there, we're the rescue party! Make yourselves known, we are armed and we don't want any accidents!"

[Philulhu]

There was no response from below. Just the steady hum of machinery.

[Lost_King]

“I’m going to need a new power supply and a circuit board. I’m also going to need to re-solder some wires, so I’ll need tools. It all looks modular, so we can probably get the circuit board and power supply from any other computers/tech we find lying around. They probably don’t have a spare circuit board on hand, so we’ll at least have to take something else apart to get that.”

Once Amanda gives him permission, Benjamin joins Randy.

[Joajackson]

Amanda tried to do what she can to find what Harold asked for. I mean, the radio room surely had more electronics that just the radio.

Spot hidden (40) 1d100

Amanda doesn’t really know what she’s looking for and has no success looking for it…

[BoyBlunder78]

In his hobbled state Gavin doesn't feel like he can be much help in the search. " Think I'll leave you guys to your treasure hunt, think I'll see if there's a canteen around here See if i can find some grub."

[kabukiman]

Boyd is looking for some the pieces that are needed.

Spott hidden: 30%

[kabukiman]

... and fail. He doesn't have a clue of what he is looking for.

[Philulhu]

Boyd didn’t find any components, but, trying the ‘talk’ buttons, he found a couple of the handheld CB radios on the wall racks were in working order.

OK, so where are you exploring next? There’s the shaft to the basement and there are a number of other buildings in the compound.

[Mr. Handy]

Let's check out the basement. What could possibly go wrong?

[Snapper]

Randy gave Ben a thumbs up. "I'll go first for a change."

Randy slung his rifle and cautiously climbed down the shaft...

[Philulhu]

Randy descended the ladder to the room below, a large underground space finished in the same utilitarian fashion as the rooms above.

The ceiling was approximately ten feet high and the room was filled with large machinery - directly in front of Randy was a large furnace, with the main oil pumping machinery and one end, and the electricity generator at the other. The generator hummed constantly - down here, it really was quite noisy - but the rest of the machines were still.

Two passageways lead away to the east and west. The one to the east lead to a door. Randy couldn’t see what lay beyond that, nor where the western passage went.

Just wanted to confirm where everyone else is. I think Amanda, Boyd and Harold are in the radio room upstairs, with Benjamin and Gavin (and William) downstairs. Correct?

[Snapper]

Randy hastily finished clambering down and got out of the way of the ladder. The he had his rifle back up, ready for action. "Room's clear! There's two doorways from here!"

[BoyBlunder78]

Yeah, Gavin is looking foe the canteen, find some food or drink[...liquor....for purely medicinal purposes of course.../Spoiler-Button]

Benjamin covers Randy while he descends, then follows him down once the room is secured. "If there's a threat down here, it could come from either direction, but at least if it's behind that door we'd have some warning when it opens," he says.
