You decide to head up to the upper floors of the Shalcomb Factory tonight. There's no one around at this time of night, so it makes it significantly easier to avoid being detected.

You head up to the fifth floor, and here you notice most of the areas here are for storage, equipment repair, machine assembly, and the manufacture of machine components. Nothing around here seems all that out of the ordinary, but you can tell it seems like it's been a long while since anyone has done any work here. It seems as though Shalcomb is mostly just trying to maintain its survival rather than try to innovate or install new machinery within this research and development area. You search through the sixth floor and the situation seems mainly the same, although you're seeing less of the available space actively used by factory personnel.

It isn't until you get to the seventh floor that you notice something looks very wrong. You arrive at the dual elevators and it looks like one of them has completely jammed and locked itself shut, barring anything from getting in. Meanwhile, it seems like the control panel must have ignited and caught fire, as the whole unit is completely burnt down and most of the components have been completely destroyed. At first you wonder how and why no one has noticed this, but as you look around, you feel the lack of anyone using this area is likely the reason why...

You know it will need a whole new control panel circuitry unit, but you take out the burnt unit and with your knowledge in science and electrical principles, you feel you can at least remove the damaged components and salvage what's still inside the electrical box to make way for the circuitry.

{Locked Down Elevator: Badly Damaged Control Panel, <Repair> / <Science>} has been noted in the Team Records.

After removing what was damaged beyond repair and realigning the wires, you've managed to at least prepare the way for the circuitry to be installed. Any other Pokémon might have thought there was no way to ever repair a unit this badly damaged, but it just needs that one last piece and it should be up and running again.

You can only wonder what caused this, however...

You head up to see if there's anything remaining on the eighth floor, but it seems like barely anything is even being used on this level. Most of it seems to be completely empty and the only few items on this level appear to be equipment and materials that seem like they've been long forgotten about.

You head back to base and begin to prepare for what will need to be done in the morning.
