Inside the seemingly old warehouse was an interior that looked brand new.
Rows upon rows of glass cages gleamed inside, each with a monitor beside them. Inside were what seemed to be sleeping children in pods. The camera showed two men in lab coats near one of the monitors.
“Any signs of a charge yet?” one of the men says, leaning over the monitor.
“Not yet,” the other replied. “But the readings on this one are promising. If we can properly harness it, this kid could probably power a whole neighborhood.”

What would you invent to save the day?
