- The Hole woke them up because there is a problem with the fusion plant. It is about to shut down to emergency power that only runs lights, sewerage and air filters for thirty days. After that the plant will be destroyed. The PCs must find caches to fix the plant in that time. The cache file in the Hole EMP-proof computer has corrupted; it knows where they are but not what's in them but there should be fusor supplies.
- The PCs can do with one vehicle if they hook up its fusion pack to the Hole but it only runs emergency power.
Now this depends on the type of team your players are running. I can see a fixed base for a Science team, and possibly for a MARS team, but not for a Recon team. A Recon team absolutely has to get out and patrol their assigned area, a fixed base becomes a large anchor around their necks, if they have supplies and a limited production capability, they are left with splitting their team and soon will run into the real possibility of losing their base and/or their mobile element.

This is an interesting idea, one well worth looking into!
