This is an issue with the Helios 1 quest, specifically repairing the auxiliary generator.

I am just short of being able to repair the generator, unfortunately. So, I activated Python to fix it for me. However, I made the mistake of zoning out of the observation tower to the top floor, and saved. I come back in, and Python has de-activated himself, but the generator didn't actually get fixed. Unfortunately I have NO recent saves, and would have to backtrack a long time to revert. Is there any way to get around this issue at this point, or am I pretty much dead in the water until I can learn more repair skill?

Any guidance would be most appreciated...
