There, she found not just machinery, but her father’s final log. He hadn't abandoned her; he had sacrificed himself to create a "fail-safe"—a way to return the power to the people if the greed of the towers ever grew too cold. The Choice

The turning point came when the city’s main reactor began to bleed. The "Great Dimming" started at the bottom. The lights in the clinics went out first, then the water filtration systems. The people of the Rust Belts were being left to rot in the dark.
