"Ah, good question," Sue replied with a smile. "We are connected to the local power grid, but we actually have our own hyper-fusion reactor wich can kick in at a moments notice, so we are actually self reliant if the FSA should ever decide to cut our power. The only reason we stay connected to their power grid is that we don't want to rouse their suspition, we don't really want to rock the boat and bring a paranoid facist goverment down on our heads now do we?" She smiled and winked at Veronica.
