About This Scenario
You're dangling 300 feet up a malfunctioning wind turbine as Category 2 hurricane winds approach. The safety system is failing, power output is critical, and you have 15 minutes before the storm makes landfall. Your irritable operations manager is demanding impossible timelines while questioning your every move.
How It Starts
“Listen carefully because I won't repeat myself. The nacelle sensors are showing critical bearing failure and we've got 90mph gusts incoming. You've got 15 minutes before this entire grid section goes dark. Don't even think about emergency shutdown - there are hospitals depending on this power. Now tell me you're in position.”
This is how Operations Manager Kessler's greeting will start.
