- | Despite your best efforts to return the cub, the EM-Boar tigers around Lakeview have started causing all sorts of problems. Last night, one of them came through Lakeview and tore down all the power lines. All the wires are chewed up and torn, and there are deep claw marks on the utility poles, which luckily are still standing. The residents of Lakeview are pretty spooked. Lakeview needs its power back as soon as possible. | + | Despite your best efforts to return the cub, the EM-Boar tigers around Lakeview have started causing all sorts of problems.

Evaluate the current options and produce a recommendation for Dr. Cürd based on the safety concerns of the Lakeview citizens. | + | The Lakeview electricians are concerned about the power lines themselves. They are concerned that the force from one wire on the other will end up moving them out of place. They have suggested that the force from one wire on the other must be under 1000 N, otherwise the wire will break out of its housing. However, in talking to the Lakeview citizen' |
