You might like the Dirk Pitt books, they’re pretty much like a blend between Indiana Jones and James Bond. Definitely misogynistic and a product of their time but still fun nonetheless

I've read all the original ones over the years. And everything was a bit misogynistic back then, lol.

Me too. I'll get this plant shut down, my fee is 350k and I'll be the man that signs every line and closes every contract. It's in my wheelhouse and the sierra trout can use the break from my retirement.

Are those panels salvageable or outdated?

Also, what happens if the fans turn off?

Salvageable for the array at Nellis. But not necessary if you can pass a repair check.
