Rata Mall - Basement PHASE 2 - Locked

<There is less than 24 hours left in the room. If you have any actions left you wish to take, PM them to me ASAP>

An on going event in another room has necessitated an extension on the room visits. Ill update with a new, hopefully short deadline in about 10 hours.

I'm guessing that means an attack, since they have 24 hours to respond.
Would it make sense to disallow attacks in the last 24 hours?

No other actions I can think of.

THe camera turns and faces you.

A speaker begins to speak

It says:

Johannes, I hope you are a friend,

I'm going to be forward because I don't have much time, this communicator is low on power and I don't know how much we will be able to talk.
I'm hoping that our goals are aligned? I am looking for certain resources, to help me get home and get in contact with my family.
Can you tell me about the generator?
or how you got to the basement?
Are you looking for something?

Please help, I will refer to you as friend in a whisper if I believe we can help each other.

Do I recognize the voice?

"There are two generators but only one is running. I don't have the knowledge to activate the other, but I have located a tool that appears necessary for the task and I am leaving it behind.
The stairs to the basement were on the east wall of the eatery, but I believe most everyone overlooked them. There were elevators also, non-functional.
The only thing I'm looking for is information. My short-term goals are to unlock the bank, which I think I've managed, and to find computer access. Identifying someone with the aptitude to turn on the other generator would also I believe be a good step."

BZZT: "I am not sure that is me, however it appears we both need power. If I make any headway in that regard I'll be sure to contact you. Can you tell me about the tool and why you don't think you have the aptitude? I am trying to work out if I do."

“The controls are simply too numerous. I wouldn’t know where to begin. even comparing it to the working generator is no help. The tool is a simple spanner – sorry, crescent wrench — and it does appear there are some items on the control panel that seem to require it.”

[groza529]

“I think though that it may be my turn to ask a question. You seem to want to hold your identity to yourself for now, but can you at least tell me how you’ve accessed the security? Are there any computers there?”

[ambic]

"I am not sure that is me, however it appears we both need power. If I make any headway in that regard I'll be sure to contact you. Can you tell me about the tool and why you don't think you have the aptitude? I am trying to work out if I do."

I assume I should post further discussion with the mysterious voice at the link (and have done)
