Neither of the central spheres are visibly damaged. Their entanglements are probably still be intact unless their other ends were damaged somehow. He'll need to figure out how to power everything up again, here or in a new Gate structure, of course.
Are there station logs he can get at which suggest anything about why there's a hole in the place and wrecked objects?
Eight hours and a few minutes before the control system reported fatal power failure, the station was placed under lockdown due to a bomb threat.
She left a note and opened her helmet. Apparently there was no hope of rescue.
There's some blood near the shuttle bay. One spacesuit is still here: Pedro Sanchez. There's no sign of Pedro himself, though.
Nope, nothing here.
Were there security cameras, can he get security footage?
Six suited-up people left on the shuttle a few minutes after the bomb went off. Two were outside the station assigned to look for the bomb. Pedro was, indeed, blown out into space.
Cam is not sure if he can make entangled spaces.
So instead he patches the hole in the station, gently disconnects all of the everything from the entanglement sphere, clears the room of movable objects, and replaces everything that used to be there as of when it was last working, connected as it once was.
Nothing visible happens. The place probably needs power.
It's a very long operator's manual interspersed with lots of warnings and references to jargon that varies from the engineering principles he knows, but it exists.
Cam pokes his way through it. No point blowing up the whole station and having to gamble on being able to make entangled spaces after all. All he really needs to know is the features of its output, though; he can make his own generator when he knows how much juice goes where.
That's fairly easy to find. The tolerances aren't even particularly strict- Most of the power relays' job is to catch and modulate the reactor's output.
The machines in the entanglement rooms now have power, and are also running self-diagnostics. They eventually report that both entanglements appear intact.
Cam waits around to see if anyone will notice on the other end.
One of the computers is labelled 'entanglement communications.' It's not showing any incoming messages, though.
Yep.
Cool. I have repaired this end of the entanglement. Is anyone still there?
