Flickering Threat: Objectives
- Find the Generator Room
- Repair the Generator
Scene
“My usual engineer is still healing from his wounds and has been loopy for days. We can’t afford to be at half-grid until he heals; I need someone to pick up his wrench in the meantime.”
Flickering Threat: Location
This mission takes place inside the Dam Battlegrounds, specifically in the Generator Room area below the main control sector. Enter through the western access tunnel from the Dam checkpoint, then descend into the lower mechanical section. The generator room is heavily secured and filled with environmental hazards like leaking coolant and intermittent electric surges. Expect resistance from drones guarding the damaged equipment as you move deeper inside.
