Power Holiday
A power holiday permits reduced output for maintenance; Juliette now proposes a slight restriction to avoid running the main generator at full load.
Story so far
Jahns proposed a power holiday for maintenance and to commemorate cleaners. Juliette wanted it announced while the post-cleaning mood lasted and made it a condition of accepting the sheriff’s job. The resulting brownout closed most merchants, while severe restrictions elsewhere largely compensated for IT’s exemptions and a nurse reported hectic nursery work.
By the fourth day, the refit faced a deadline to run the generator the next morning and restore full power the following evening. The holiday also caused a week of rising temperatures that threatened the servers. Juliette now proposes a slight power holiday to avoid running the main generator at full load.
Role
It is a period of restricted power consumption that makes generator maintenance or reduced loading possible.
