The Sudden Change in the Scholar's Style

Master Orrow got up in such a jittery manner that the people beside him were afraid that the old man would keel over when he started talking. After a few deep breaths, the old scholar started explaining. "The electric fairies have just returned and are extremely weakened. We have lost about half of our lights. The heaters and part of the water delivery system are down too. Our technical apprentices found a few damaged circuits. They are trying to change the parts but our resources are very limited..."

"Prioritize the heaters. We can fetch water from Watertank Town. The water reserves there should be able to last about half a month." The viceroy interrupted the scholar. "Any news from Metalshire?"

"Can't see any lights from here. The electricity is probably still out over there. The transmitters are out as well." A short, fat man seated beside the scholar rose. "Seems like we need to send men over."
