"The Shield Generator's battery units cannot be maintained further." A datadisk was pressed into the hands of the Shadow Lady, a Selenian engineer pursing her lips down at the Consul.

Zuza frowned, glancing down at the disk handed to her but straightening up to look at the Engineer before her, "That sounds real bad."

"It will be. We need new models, or should the day come they get damaged, overloaded or-"

"We can handle it. That's for your safety as much as ours and we put it there. I'll give ya a heads up when we have the parts."

She glanced down at the datadisk, giving a curt nod before leaving the throne room.

To all Arconans! We are in need of a new set of batteries to ensure the longevity of the shield generator. There is specs to consider and it won't be the easiest to track down, legally or not. Your Consul has put out the call to get them with the only prerequisite being not damaging relations with fellow members of the Brotherhood, or it's allies. Nor paying for it using Zuza's personal credit chit, even if you steal it fair and square!

Write your character locating and retreiving the difficult-to-find and somewhat cumbersome batteries. With so many called to help, your character only needs to try and collect at least 1 battery. Whether they succeed or fail, whether they gain one or manage to collect an entire bundle, well, that's up to you.
