Emergency Power Station

Info
Spawn	Heavy Containment Zone

The Emergency Power Station, also known as the Generator, is a type of Structure found in SCP: Secret Laboratory. They can be found throughout Heavy Containment Zone and are required access SCP-079's Containment Area.

In Game

Emergency Power Stations can be found along the walls in various special rooms throughout Heavy Containment Zone. Only three stations will spawn throughout the map. The stations must be unlocked with a Keycard that has Armory Access 2 . Closing the station will not re-lock it.

Inside each station is a lever that can be activated by pressing the E Key. Doing so will begin booting up the generator. This process takes 125s to complete after which the device will be engaged. SCP-079 will be alerted when a station is booting up with an alarm and an onscreen timer in their notification bar. Interacting with the lever again while a station is booting up will cancel the process. While a generator is off, its timer will tick back up each second until it hits 125. If a generator is successfully engaged it can no longer be turned off. Additionally, C.A.S.S.I.E will broadcast to the entire facility anytime a station is engaged.

After all three generators are engaged, the lockdown on SCP-079's Containment Area is lifted. Allowing access to an armory that contains the recontainment button for SCP-079. The button is covered by glass preventing it from being interacted with normally. Breaking the glass via any means will activate the Overcharge Process and kick SCP-079 out of Site-02's systems.

Trivia

Emergency Power Stations have multiple visuals on them while powering up.
- A timer that shows how much time is left until it turns on.
  - The timer will say Engaged once the Emergency Power Station is turned on.
- A dial labeled Local Voltage that also shows how much time is left, by having an arrow slowly move from green to red.
- A dial labeled Total Voltage will show how many Emergency Power Stations are currently on.
- Emergency Power Stations have two lights that show if the generator is activated or if it is disabled.
Prior to v11.0.0, five Emergency Power Stations would have to be activated before SCP-079 would be recontained. There was no button involved in this process and instead the Overcharge Process would automatically happen one minute after the fifth Emergency Power Station was engaged.
- Emergency Power Stations would previously provide additional AP to SCP-079 when activated. This was removed in v11.0.0 alongside the other changes to the recontainment process.
