She states that she can't do it alone and she wishes her friends were still there, before Snowball brings her a cup of tea. She thanks the robot as there is a small power fluctuation, and she decides to find out a way of extending the life of the station's power supply batteries. As she minimizes the cryopod status window, she finds the message. The signal is still weak but it is broadcasting on the Overwatch Emergency Frequency. She thinks this might be a rescue message but she has to climb and reinforce the radio tower to know for certain.
Coming up with a plan, she uses various parts found around the Ecopoint to
Mei climbs the tower using her blaster to create ice to climb and reinforces a missing section beside a hazardous materials tank, partially covering it. Nearing the top, a loose girder breaks off under her weight: she leaps to safety, but the section strikes the supporting ice below and weakens the tank, causing it to explode and sending the tower toppling over. Dangling by one hand, Mei desperately fires the blaster and is amazed at the resulting large pillars of ice supporting and securing the tower to the ice wall, and finishes climbing as it turns dark.
