✧ He Row Soup Lies ✧

---

In one of the buildings in the town square - the one that once held a welcome party for the new arrivals - all signs of the feast have vanished. The scribbles on the wall now read "HE ROW SOUP LIES," accompanied by several instances of the word "ASK" in various colors and sizes. Beside that is written "us thank they!"

The tables have been replaced by one large bright pink box. The word "ASK" is also written on it multiple times.

Here is where you can request things of the Agrii. They're very grateful for your presence and would love to do anything they can to help. Anything at all.

Just ... ASK.

The Replicator

Ever since the Agrii sent the He-Rows to Risa, the Replicator has become a permanent fixture next to the Soup Lies box, useful for things that the Soup Lies cannot provide or may be too complicated for the Agrii to understand. Information about the full functions of the replicator are available in the game FAQ. If you have any questions not addressed there, please ask them on the FAQ.

Using the Replicator does not require you to post here.

If Cloud comes back with Engineering knowledge, he will see that the replicator has overloaded. It seems as though a surge of power from an unknown source was sent into it when Cloud asked for an item. Key parts have been burned out that are responsible for the replication process.

The power surge was pretty specific.

Around the room, everything else looks normal.

Cloud's coming back with the knowledge of Engineering. It would have taken him sometime but this gives everyone supplies. He's not about to leave it without looking into it. But he's questioning how Cayde could ask for bullets and get scraps of metal easily, yet it breaks on being extra specific on the make of things.

The power surge will catch his eye. What needs replacing?

What are the parts? Are they easy parts to find? If nothing else in the room is burnt to hell, is there anything outside that would suggest the power surge came from where the replicator is placed?

[trpmods]

The pieces needing replacing are going to need some creativity. The replicator came from Risa, originally, and was modified to keep working here.

Going to the power plant and perhaps adjusting some of the fuses and wires there and just making sure that the power connector in the wall isn't malfunctioning should get it up and going, good as new (you hope).

Or you could separate it from the wall and rig up a power-unit of power rods so you don't have it attached there at all. It will have less overall power and might not be able to do as much, but will work independently.

Where the surge came from is a mystery so you'll have to decide which is more likely:

A) The problem was with the replicator itself or/and your request so you just need to fix what was broken and try again with it still at full power.

B) The problem was with the power source and, even if it sacrifices some of the capability of the replicator, it is better to try and have it work off rods.

The decision is yours. Good luck.

After interfacing with the engineering datapoint, Reeve comes to inspect the damage done to the replicator. He too comes to the two solutions but finds himself wondering something.

Would he be able to rig up a battery pack that could be swapped out easily to allow the system to be changed back and forth between the two options?

[trpmods]

He sure can. But that might not solve the problem if you plug it back in and it overloads again....
