"You'd better go power it down."
"Oh. Right." Umbra gets to the control panel while SE charges and fires light blasts as necessary.
Umbra examines the panel.
"Uh... Oh, screw it." He takes out his cutter tool and severs every wire he can.

"Uh..." Umbra looks at the proken port. "...Great. Well, I didn't have an 'uplink device' anyway, so..." He starts looking for anything that could be a power source.

// Uh, problem with that... <~>
The cable ends up whacking different parts of Umbra's body, as he isn't carrying anything electronic.
"Ow! Hey!" He grabs the thing so it stops squirming around.

"Rifts?... You mean the blotches?" Umbra tears a live branch off a tree nearby and tosses it into the rift.

"ARGH!" Umbra does, indeed, struggle, but eventually realizes what's happening.

Umbra jolts a little.
"Uh... That won't exactly help. What would help, though, is removing that blotch." He gestures to the rift with his free hand.

"Well, uh... It seems a satellite connected to me. Oh, since you were in my house... Can you go back in there and grab something from my living room? It's a metal box- it should be on the ground by itself."

Sure enough, there's a metal box in the living room, sitting there by itself... Funnily enough, it seems as if it isn't even a box- just box-shaped. There's what looks like a button for a foot and an unactivated light, as well as a strange groove of some sort on the top.
