Arriving back at the bridge the recording device is tossed on a nearby surface. Traudel hurries to both men, both slumped over their respective stations barely reacting. Equipping Kertz and Schneider with an oxygen mask each, then helping them sit back down properly. Waiting for signs of betterment. "Come on you two, we cannot lose more. I cannot lose more!" Moments pass as she simply stares, nervously playing with her fingers. "... faule... Sau, hah..." Schneider comes to first, weakly scoffing. "Were you not told... to go to the reactor?""Pfah, love you too. But ja. Ja i was. What good is that when we have no air anymore?" "CO2 scrubbers out of order?""Good morning, Herr Kaleun. I hope it is just that. Had to turn around, we all must have laid here for Kaiser knows how long. I will go again now that we can breathe." "Good catch, Habermeyer. Schneider, take another moment then go and fetch all the masks we have." He nods, leaning back a bit more while taking deep breaths. Traudel collects herself briefly, walks over to her device and leaves the bridge with it.
Nearing her destination she slows down, speech muffled by the mask. "Warmer than it should be. What upset you old girl? Speak to me bitte." Watchful eyes scan the surroundings, some wall panels are removed and the wiring checked. Her search continues deeper into the Sprotte's bowels, coming across a row of cables emitting sparks. "... knew that was not enough. I am sorry love, but we had to work with what we had at the time. Let me see about making it better... hrm, no good. I cannot touch that right now. This just is not right, you are on auxiliary power, yet i ran this one right from the reactor. You should not... ... wait. The constant power drain!" Snapping her fingers a few times Traudel starts tracing the sparking cable back.
