Fout takes the torch apart, and puts it back together, nothing. He changes the batteries with some spares he had. Nothing. "Huh... why would that be..." Fout gathers up electronics, and starts to experiment. "Electricity just is not flowing... hmm... does lightning exist here? I wonder..." Fout glances around. Bizzarely he did not seem nearly as scared, he rummaged around grabbing food, and supplies, but also trying every bit of electrical equipment he could find...
None of it worked.
