--ATTENTION!!--
___________________________
Current reported electrical and/or barrier disruptions in the City centered in the vicinity of the following areas:
→ Building XII
→ Building III
→ Building VI
→ Building IX
...due in part to redirection and blocking of current for barrier generators.
Secondary and back-up generators cannot function at this time due to continued redirection and blocking of current.
Restoration of service from secondary and back-up generators will require restoration of current and additional power.
Emergency TESLA Free-Radical Arc Generators will initate collection of available energy from surrounding areas upon restoration of current. Symptoms of energy collection include: fatigue, tired feeling, sleepiness, dizziness, low blood-pressure, heaviness in limbs, disorientation, and fainting. Specifically directed energy (electrical, chemical, thermic, magnetic, magical, and etc.) recommended as "seed" energy until sustained function can be determined.
Primary generators remain off-line at this time.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you for your attention.
[ooc: Following on the heels of
this post, more or less. As before, the deities are not going to help with this one. However, they'll drop a few hints as to the function of secondary barrier generators. If the areas with lairs can be cleared of harpies and their metallic slime removed, the second barrier generators can start up and provide some protection until the main barriers are restored. However, these generators will power themselves by collecting any energy in the area, including life-force or physical energy from people below. Magical types and those with access to other sources of power focusing that power on these areas/generators will help the generators to start up and prevent too much drain on the citizenry as a whole. Everyone else, well, guard the living batteries, since the harpies may still be around.
Please note: this is only another proposed solution. You are more than welcome and, indeed, encouraged to pursue the on-going solutions! Because they will work if they're carried out. Don't give up yet, citizens!]
