THE RELAY ROOM
==============

Rows of mechanical relays click with no visible power source. Each has a
location or node number. Most are dark.

The relays for 44 and 71 have been physically disconnected, but their
coils remain warm.

One empty socket is labeled:

The next relay clicks before you touch it.
