Keegan sighed. “Alright is there any reserve power in any of the non essential systems that we can access it?”
Lt. Cmdr. Murphy, 2nd Officer
“Unfortunately, no, sir. Brazen Destroyer class vessels are compact in space, and although redundant systems are built in, many of the systems that have reserved power are designed for battery-level capacity power that are only sufficient to power independent devices for a couple of hours. Pooling all the power on the ship would not be sufficient to start the warp core, let alone maintain the magnetic fields for anti-matter separation,” said one the NE engineers, “The only thing positive about the Brazen Destroyer class vehicle is that we have a machine shop that can fabricate the parts for the fusion generators, but only if we had power. If we had the means to generate power a different way, we might be able to power the machine shop to produce the replacement parts. It’s also the reason why don’t have many spare parts on the ship either…”

“Ok so what’s nearby that we can shunt enough power to get the shop operational?”
Lt. Cmdr. Murphy, Second Officer
“Large replication or any replication use requires more power than we currently can generate or obtain at the moment. We would need to figure out how to construct a different means of power generation to get any meaningful power to get the shop operational,” said the NE, “We’re basically in the stone age with space age tools, Commander.”
OOC: In other words, there’s not much you can do on the ship to easily fix the ship’s systems… which is kind of the point of the sim. You’re going to have to get creative and figure out how to live without technology or make your own technology.
GM
OOC: I suggest looking up, “The Magic School Bus”, Season 2, Episode 10, “Getting Energized” for some ideas on electricity generation :-P

As the NE’s voice trailed off, a Jeffries tube hatch opened and a rumpled form in a teal-trimmed uniform tumbled out. Stumbling back to her feet and trying to make order of her sweaty, dirty appearance, Adeline reached down to collect the medkit she’d brought with her and then looked around Main Engineering for a moment. “Um, hi, I’m Doctor McGill… is there anyone here who needs medical attention?”
Dr. McGill
Keegan looking at the doctor “I’m fine doc.” “Crewman Michaels do you know if there’s a bicycle onboard that can be used as a cranking device to generate power for the machine shop?”
Lt. Cmdr Murphy, 2nd Officer
“Doctor McGill!” shouted Ensign Shoshawnia, “Over here!” From the distance, Dr. McGill could see a line of injured who were being treated by the medic she had sent here earlier.
“I don’t know. We’d have to check crew quarters. We don’t have a gym onboard, the Brazen-class ship is only slightly bigger than a Defiant-class,” said the NE Engineer, “But sir, you do know that the average electricity generation from bicycle pedaling would only result about 100 watts per hour. That’s less than 0.01 of what the fusion generators produce.”
GM
“If somebody managed to get a scan of the planet, we could see if there’s a river nearby,” Jon said. “Maybe we could build a hydroelectric generator, that could possibly bring us enough power to operate life support, freeing up the generator for other needs.”
They were Starfleet engineers, after all. Something as simple as a watermill was well within their capabilities to build.

“That’s a lot of bicycles,” Adeline murmured as she made her way over to the medic she recognized from Sickbay. Sighing softly, she opened her medkit and retrieved the medical tricorder from it. Time to get down to business.
