How is it generated?

@Legend

I have no idea how it’s mechanically generated with electricity. But I can do it myself… What if I act as a battery for it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

What a curious effect. Are you familiar with that blue force?

@Legend

I am. It’s complicated to describe what it is exactly. Not something that I can explain in a few words, but it’s most aptly described as the Element of Power. Makes sense this place would try to generate it and run off it.

I'm going to do something risky. This device should minimize the damage.
*Connects another wire set directly to the pylon, and pulls a wire from the other side of the device, clamping it to the other pylon and energetically connecting them*

@Legend

*Electricity funnels across it in heavy amounts, and after just a few short moments, the device radiates a wavy teal aura for a few moments, attempting to funnel a whole new type of energy through the device as well, totally liquefying it*
Ohh…

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

It's possible.
*Walks over to the pylons and connects an auxiliary wire to the other side, adding to the energy flow*

@Legend

*Electricity visibly arcs through the pylons but it doesn’t seem to arc between them like on the other one*
That’s something.

The terminals should be powered, but unless these towers are transmitting information wirelessly, we may be able to bypass them entirely.

@Legend

They could be. You think the system is dependent on the pylons themselves connecting wirelessly like they are over there?

One has some form of power flowing, but there's no guarantee it's flowing correctly.

@Legend

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

These are in two different states, but neither is known to be correct.

@Legend

What’s different?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Part of the issue is that neither device has a known good state to reference.

@Legend

Neither device?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

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*

@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*

*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*

@Legend

You figured it out?
