229 – In the Heart

Some of my colonists gathered near the shelter. Trevor was fiddling with an led light taken from one of the destroyed mechs. The lamp was mounted on the shelter's ceiling, connected by cable by a black box the size of three adult heads. Both the box and the cable were also taken from the mechs.

Trevor gave a thumbs up to Seb, who immediately fiddled with a tablet stuck to the black box. While it looked pretty neatly attached, the tablet was clearly attached with simple equipment to the box, which was the energy source of the mechs.

"Is it really safe for us to use this?" Manu grimaced. "You guys still remember about the radiation that killed a merman empire?"

"This should be safe. If you're really going to blow this thing up, you have to know how to do it, and it's really complicated." Trevor explained. "This thing is impact resistant even to the point of surviving meteors.... Anyway, it's resistant to impact, heat, and vibration."
