gollark: I mean, I can make lava, just at a power loss. I'm going to be making a new, probably passively cooled reactor soon anyway, to handle the neptunium and stuff from this one.
gollark: Nope.
gollark: That might be slightly problematic, since the lava power this base ran on beforehand is entirely drained, but I'm sure I'll work something out.
gollark: I expect it'll just explode or something.
gollark: Wait, new rules?
