A panic button on the ship wall. One press dumps reserve power into the facility grid — every light flares to blinding intensity, indoor creatures get stunned, then the grid collapses into total blackout.
| Phase | What happens |
|---|---|
| Surge (1s) | Lights flicker violently, electrical buzzing ramps up |
| Overcharge (5s) | Max brightness, deep hum, indoor creatures stunned |
| Collapse (1s) | Lights pop and die erratically |
| Blackout (30s) | Total darkness, ship dims to emergency lighting, night vision killed |
| Recovery (3s) | Lights stutter back to normal |
The ground team gets no HUD warning — they learn to read the flicker as "the operator hit the button, move NOW during the bright phase, then find cover."
