"Hello, this is Sapphire Eyestone, Batman suggested I talk to you about helping prioritize repairs to the electrical infrastructure I could repair it all if I worked nonstop for a bit over four days but I expect that there's some pieces that are more important or harder for ordinary people to repair."

"What the hell are you—"

He pauses, sounds like he put the phone down and is talking to someone else:

"Who's going to call me? The what? Hang on."

"Sorry, are you the glowing purple American?"

"That sounds like an accurate description."

"Okay, great, great, uhh what kind of repairs can you do?"

"I think I can repair anything. My ring seems to think I could fix everything myself."

"Ring, like Green Lantern?"

"I think so, that's what the Green Lantern I talked to said anyway. I'm pretty new at this."

"Okay, we can figure it out I guess. I think the most urgent repairs are to reconnect and inspect the high-voltage lines that got damaged in the storm... we've already got the affected areas shut off properly... can you come to our operations center in Monterey? I'll show you the maps and you can pick up some cable."

He gives her an address.

"I can do that." Ring take me there with Transition, put me outside the entrance.

"Compliance."

And then, with a brief rush of light, she is standing in front of a building labeled "Federal Electricity Commission Northeast Operations Center". (It's actually labeled in spanish, and of course when Sapphire looks at the signage she sees spanish arrangements of letters, but reads english words. She will probably not notice this unless she is trying to.)

In the street nearby some people shriek.

Oh no she didn't mean to scare people. Ring make the glow from you and the staff dimmer. She schools her reaction and tries to smile reassuringly. "I'm here. I think teleporting might have scared some people."

"You teleported? Of course. Whatever, come inside, they'll get over it."

He gives her directions to a room on the second floor.

"Unable to comply; intensity of glow is directly related to intensity of user's Compassion output."

She'll just have to make the best of it then. She follows the instructions.

And after a few minutes of walking (or floating, whichever is her choice) she'll reach a room with shelves of scrolls on its sides and a large table in the center. When she enters, a middle-aged man who looks like he hasn't slept well hangs up a phone and greets her.

"Ah yes, glowing purple, very distinctive. I'm Gabriel Rivas. I have maps and technical specifications here. I'll show you what to do and you'll let me know if there's anything your ring can't do, yes?"

"Sounds good. Would it be helpful if I showed you my ring's assessment of things?"

"If there's a way to do that, yes?"

"Ring display a map of the region's electrical system. Respond out loud if there's an issue."

The ring projects a holographic map of the electrical grid.

"Okay, that's a lot better than the maps we have," says Rivas. "And it looks like it's identified which parts of the system are functioning and which need repairs. Okay, here's what you should do first:"

And he starts pointing out the most critical connections to repair.

She listens carefully though she's also sure her Ring will remember for her.

Then he'll explain the specifications the lines should meet—"normally, if we have to patch a line, we'll do a weld, but you can do whatever works with your ring as long as the end result is the same"—where to get new cable—"obviously the cables that got knocked down in the storm will still be there, but they're probably pretty damaged; if you can repair them enough to meet specification, that's fine, otherwise you can get new cable from the spools in our warehouse behind the building"—and everything else she (or her ring) need to know to complete the repairs.

"Give me a call every once in a while to let me know what you've finished so we can turn the power back on. I think for some cities we just need to restore a few connections and we'll have everything working again, others might need a bit more work but the sooner we can get these repairs done the better."

"Definitely. People use power for so many things it's important." Ring will taking extra cable make repairs faster or more energy efficient? Also do we have a good way of carrying large amounts of cable?

"Affirmative, although the difference is not significant. Cable can be stored in subspace pocket."

"Having the cable will make things a little more efficient but I can do without it if you're low on cable."

"Up to you. I don't think we're in danger of running out and in any we'd only be using that gauge of cable for repairing the high-voltage lines, which is what you're doing."
