Settlement Lightning Rods

Three metal rods bolted to the settlement's control centre roof, designed to divert lightning strikes during storms. Their oxidized surfaces and heavy-duty wiring demonstrate their role as crude atmospheric conductors, though their visible trembling under electrostatic stress reveals their inadequacy for handling the mega-head storm's full force. Crew members reference them during rated capacity breaches.

Control Centre braces for catastrophic storm

The steel lightning conductors are physically confirmed as activated by Fenner, representing the control centre’s primary electrical defense against the storm’s charged onslaught. Their functionality is treated as essential to prevent secondary damage from lightning strikes.

Before: Sturdy metal poles jutting from the roof, in need of activation.

After: Verified as operational, integrated into the building’s defense systems.
