Nathan: Survival: +4 Roll: +0 Total: +4Nathan arrives just in time to discover that Sir Bevier has his hands more than full. Nonetheless, Nathan is able to track down, soothe, and recover the fleeing horse in record time (about half an hour). Arkady finishes taking down the trees, and moves to work on the engines.
Arkady: Engineering: +5 Roll: +1 Total: +6Arkady, not entirely unfamiliar with the process of adjusting the workings of machines in a hurry, manages to strip the electrical engine out of the first truck and replace it with a gasifier-compatible fuel engine in a mere half an hour.
Arkady: Engineering: +5 Roll: +0 Total: +5The second truck takes longer - it takes an hour.

He tries to settle the Baron in a room (none is good enough for the Baron's palatial tastes, perhaps because there are no servants attached) and he heads out to try to build up the base a little more in the dark. Fortunately, his targeting visor has a Night Vision mode, or else he would have a lot more difficulty.
Felix: Engineering: +5 Roll: +0 Total: +5It takes Felix most of the night, but he manages to set up a bank of methanol-powered fuel cells, and the gasifier to provide the methanol to run them... though he will be exhausted
tomorrow.
