# Kiri's Wiring Bypass Kit
Have you ever been stuck in Hell because you accidentally blew up a
switch to an important locked door?
Couldn't leave the UAC HQ after giving your two weeks in the form of
too much heavy ordnance, because you broke the elevator?
Can't make it through that broken teleporter to the sweet, sweet
freedom of the end of the level?
Well, have I got the solution for YOU!
## Kiri's Discount Wiring Bypass Kit!
Temporarily restore power to broken electronics (or creepy hellish
teleporter alien magic things) with this handy dandy kit.
Just use this ~~stud finder~~ Wiring Fault Detection Unit to find the
location of a broken ~~linedef~~ internal mechanism, and use the
accompanying TURBO WIRE CUTTER 9000 brand wire strippers, along with a
standard battery, some electrical tape, some wire, and flagrant
disregard for personal safety, and you can make that broken teleporter
into your very own ~~teleporter accident~~ functioning teleporter!
(Batteries NOT included.)
## How to use
Loadout code: jmp
Use the Wiring Bypass Kit item as an inventory item. Approach a broken
switch, teleporter, or other mechanism, and aim the device at the area
of the breakage. It may take a moment to find a repairable fault.
The Wiring Fault Detection Unit has three LEDs indicating the
detection status:
- Red: There is a broken mechanism, that can be repaired.
- Green: Everything is functioning as implemented.
- Yellow: Not close enough to make a determination. Approach the
mechanism.
The LCD indicator can detect the exact nature of the faulty mechanism.
See appendix D for a list of codes.
Once a faulty mechanism has been located, you may attach a charged
battery to the mechanism to temporarily restore some functionality to
it.
Note: Some mechanisms cannot be repaired through simple wiring bypass,
such as doors or elevators, if the damage is on the mechanism itself,
instead of a switch or other remote activator.
TODO: Remove any language not corporate-aligned, such as "teleporter
accident" and "mechanism".
