* Routine upgrades to Bravo’s reactors are expected to last the rest of the quarter. While Bravo has multiple reactors and many redundancies, this has placed a significant burden on the starbase’s power resources. Engineering and Operations officers in particular are going to be working full-out to deal with the consequences for these weeks.

* Power prioritisation means non-essential systems will be routinely down-powered during the period. This might mean replicators on a section being out, certain turbolift routes being out, some services being off. While Ops will communicate when this is planned to happen, not everyone will get every memo – and things might change last-minute.

* Characters on Bravo might learn how to work around these inconveniences, or they might be taken aback by not being able to get their morning coffee in their usual place.

* Essential or important systems shouldn’t drop out. If they do, something’s gone wrong and it should be fixed quickly. But the crew are under a major strain and sometimes things do go wrong.
