Swatting the spider to the side, you make your way to the bottom of the steps. There is an electrical pannel on the wall with breaker switches inside. Do you want to look in the box now?

try reseting the main and then reset all of the breakers that are off. then go look in the box

You reset the main breaker, then the others one at a time. Number one breaker turned on the lights in the main warehouse. Number two breaker gave you light in the room you're in. Breaker numbers three and five would not reset for some reason. Would you like to turn off the lantern and check the box now?

by all means

Turning the lantern off, you look to see what's in the box by your side. Hmm, it's empty. Where would you like to look, or do next?

Hm, what's behind us?

what about that missing "rod" or whatever it is?
could it be replaced with one of those metal rods a few rooms back?

The metal rods upstairs are solid and are not needed at this point, but turning around to see what's behind you might give you an idea.PWFNP
