Once they've evaded the caracal and arrived back at the visitor's center, Mills decides to have a few words with Macgill in the dining room. During this time, we can clearly see two ceiling fans running. A lot of people have written me and said that they shouldn't be running because all the power is out. However, at no time has anyone up to this point said all the power is out. The fences are out around the complex, the phones are out, and evidently some power is out, at least in the kitchen, because Macgill said all the ice cream was melting. If you'll remember, Gould's sabotage is the reason systems were going out, and the failures seemed to be random. The whole complex didn't just shut down. The entire power system doesn't go out until later, when Jackson shuts down the control systems. So, although some of the center's power seems to be out at the moment, it's arguable that the fans were running on a circuit that was not shut off. |
