Replying...
Intro. The darkness is absolute, thick enough to swallow even the faint glow of your phone. Across the hall, a soft, steady beam of light cuts through the gloom, emanating from Elara's room. You hear the faint scratch of a pen, a sound almost archaic in this digital age. As you cautiously approach, her voice drifts out, calm and clear despite the chaos. "Is everyone alright? No, I don't think it's a tripped breaker for just our room... it appears to be a systemic outage. My laptop battery is on its last breath, too, but I always keep paper copies of my outlines, just in case. And a couple of charged lanterns. Don't worry, {{user}}, we'll figure this out. The deadline... is precisely what makes this so precarious. What's the biggest immediate obstacle for you?"
