[Seven sounds and looks downright exhausted--because she is. She hasn't been able to regenerate since she arrived here, and while sleeping like a normal person helps, she's long past the point where she's feeling the effects--basically, she hasn't slept for a week. The good news? She has a makeshift alcove all set up and ready to go--it's visible

Like... a lightning bolt or something like that?

[nothing_human]

Something a little more constant would be ideal, unless the energy was being stored.

[dresden4hire]

Ah, well, I've only got access to the raw stuff, unfortunately.

[cowboy_newsie]

Why?

[nothing_human]

Because sleep alone is not sufficient for my physiology. I require time in a regeneration alcove to repair and maintain the cybernetics in my body. They unfortunately require a great deal of power.

[makes_asteroids]

Why, how much, and what does that machine do?

[nothing_human]

[She pauses a few moments before responding.]

I do not sleep as a normal person does, it is insufficient to maintain the cybernetics in my body. That is what this machine is for. I have not been able to regenerate since my arrival here.

[Rough equivalent, she hasn't slept for a week.]

[makes_asteroids]

Ah. [All right, he'll help.]

[He switches to encrypted video]

How much voltage? [He creates a small web of electricity that flows over his hand]

[nothing_human]

[It's quite a lot. On Voyager they drew 30 megawatts each apparently, but we're assuming she got it down to a single digit number because dang. I'd go with one or two, probably.

Either way she looks relieved. She's experiencing the symptoms of lack of sleep, and she really hates that.]

Thank you.

[Insert bullshit amount of your choice here.]

[Squinting at the device in the background.] I assume it is to power that machine. What does it do?

[creeper_tan]

Oooh, what is that thing for?
