[ Technical services that can't be traded for from the local population have to be filled in somehow, and as much as regret instantly began to sink in from the moment Chrysos made landfall (completely and utterly covered in ice, such as good, proper, earnest land should never be), one couldn't well leave the Transports that had decided to take up shelter Earthside to the risks inherent in derelict buildings. And so it was that he pulled ever tighter on the garishly-colored jacket provided to him (courtesy of one Xerxes Break) and set about putting his hands and tools to use about the place.
Though the museum could stand to just be left to bury itself.
Honestly. He has no idea why this isn't the case.
1.
The geothermal systems still intact were a pleasant surprise. Certainly it would make power and heating (the second more important than the first) easier to get back online. First and foremost, though, is checking that all those pipes and lines are connected without any missing bits, and so anyone wandering the halls of the museum or the hotel in the first few days might hear some faint, hollow sounds in the walls, or the ceiling overhead, or echoing through the tunnels. A tap-tap-tapping. A rusty squeaking. The odd CLANG. Nothing to worry about, right?
2.
There's a signed note up by the main doors of the hotel, anyway.
Will be conducting repairs to the building's steam heat systems over the next few days. Please contact for specific rooms to prioritize. -Chrysos
3.
It's been a hard and long series of shifts for the last few days, and now that there's finally some central heat and power running through the building... wouldn't hurt to take a kip for a little while.
It counts as R&R if there's a sleeping bag involved, right? Even if it's one laid out in the basement, beside all the humming machines. Gotta keep an ear out for any problems in the first day or so, after all.

One man.
One snow-buried substation.
One extremely territorial flock of birds between.
As the wind blows dramatic trails of sparkling ice through the air...... a standoff continues. ]
