A demonic presence has infiltrated this power station capable of harvesting energy from the magma beneath the crest. The faculty managed to seal the exits and trap them inside.
A task force is sent to clear the facility from the hostiles, enter the core, and remove the obstruction that's throttling the current.
By doing so, the power plant can resume operations... hopefully.
