Black Mirror III Hints
How can I get the water pump sufficiently powered?
1 of 11: Look all around the cellar for things that are related to electricity.
2 of 11: Besides the water pump's power cord, there's a 3-phase power cable hanging from the ceiling over near the construction light.
3 of 11: Just to the left of the well is a large lever on the wall that you can use (after examining it) to turn on the cellar's electricity.
4 of 11: Turning on the electricity will send power to the 3-phase cable. (Note that you can verify that by getting Adrian to grab onto the cable. ZAP!)
5 of 11: Over to the right of the water pump is a wire rope tied to a pipe.
6 of 11: Examine it to learn that it might serve as the "earth" (electrical ground) for the water pump.
7 of 11: Now you need to figure out a way to connect all of that up to get the water pump powered.
8 of 11: To start with, click on the wire rope to get a rope cursor, then click (twice) on the water pump to get it connected.
9 of 11: Getting power from the 3-phase cable to the water pump is going to be a bit trickier.
10 of 11: Go over to the water pump and use its controls to learn that it's not getting enough power due to the puddles not conducting electricity very well.
