An electrician evaluated the power issue and surmised that there are two big problems: The batteries in the UPS are dead (probably because the incoming power signal is insufficient to charge them) and the incoming service cables are inadequate and should be replaced. A permanent solution and invoice are pending.
Retrieval 3 samples are in vials and running on the GC overnight. There is not enough fuel for the generator to run all night (which is what we did previously to guarantee operation) so hopefully the incoming power is sufficient.
