Only when not etheric

As you make your way around the building, a skeleton drops from above. It's actually pretty startling, until it starts making a god-awful clicking noise.
On closer inspection, the motor trying to reel it back up is not up to the job. Nobody else around seems to be paying much attention.

Choice Text and Results
Work on the motor
You open the motor up. It's in pretty terrible shape, but you get it working a little better.
Overhauling the whole thing seems like it might be a better option.
You've earned 3 XP in Perception
Rebuild the motor
You crack open the motor. It's in terrible shape, but it's hard to say if someone sabotaged it or if the construction was just terrible.
Either way, you have to replace the capacitors and the main cable loop, then seal the casing back up with some polysteel. On the bright side, the skeleton works great now and the students will have one less thing to worry about.
You've earned 5 XP in Perception(lose the components mentioned)
The coin in your hand grows warm. (If unearthly coin equipped)
Dismantle the skeleton
You found: 4 polysteel
You've earned 3 XP in Strength
Sabotage it
You saw halfway through the rope holding up the skeleton. Next time it drops, somebody is in for an unpleasant surprise.
You've earned 3 XP in Reflexes
The coin in your hand grows cool. (If unearthly coin equipped)
Leave it be
