They must have fallen asleep after school, because when the team had awoken it was dark outside, and a horrible storm was raging. Then the lights went out. After Conner busted through a few electronically-operated doors, they discovered that mountain's generator room had flooded. The backup genny turned on for five minutes before that croaked too, taking the zeta tubes with it.
