Bhí doras trom os comhair Aisling, agus d’oscail sí go mall é.

The heavy door was in front of Aisling, and she slowly opened it.

An fuarú sa buncár faoina bhun talamh scaiptha na dorcha.

The cold in the bunker beneath the scattered ground was dark.

Solas beag go leor, líonadh le rudaí tábhachtacha don drill.

A little bit of light, filled with important things for the drill.

Bhraith sí an brú ina cófra, ach bhí sí réidh.

She felt the pressure in her chest, but she was ready.

'Tá gach duine anseo?' a d'fhiafraigh sí, ag breathnú timpeall ar an bhfoireann atá á roinnt aici.

'Is everyone here?' she asked, looking around at the team she was sharing.

Séamus agus Fiona, iad siúd le gliondar beag ar a n-aghaidh.

Séamus and Fiona, those with a small glint on their faces.

Bhí eagla go soiléir i gcroíthíon Fiona, ach níor ligeanedh air sin.

Fear was clearly in Fiona's heart, but it was not let on.

'Táimid réidh, Aisling,' a dúirt Séamus, muiníneach.

'We're ready, Aisling,' said Séamus, confident.

Bhí sé mar sin i gcónaí - é neartúil nuair a bhí sé de dhíth orthu.

He was always like that - strong when they needed it.

Thosaigh an drill le torann mór, cosúil le stoirme fireogach ag teacht.

The drill started with a loud noise, like a roaring storm coming.

Gearrthadh amach an chumhacht.

The power cut out.

Bhí an dorchadas ina thimpeall orthu mórán.

Darkness surrounded them mostly.

Ní raibh ach torann a análacha le cloisint anois agus arís.

Only the sound of their breaths could be heard now and then.

Axios, síos na fleá.

Axios, down the floor.

Bhí Aisling ag déanamh a seacht ndícheall gan teacht ar chroí rómhór foscadh a chuirfeadh faoi bhláth.

Aisling was doing her utmost not to let a big fear shelter bloom.

Go tobann, thit píosa tábhachtach trealaimh síos ón raca.

Suddenly, an important piece of equipment fell from the rack.

Ghléas an doras sábhála é féin, agus ní dhearnadh suas é.

The safety door aligned itself, and it didn't close.

Bhí a fhios ag Aisling cad ba chóir di a dhéanamh, ach ní raibh go leor ama ar ghealadh.

Aisling knew what she had to do, but there wasn't enough time to fix it.

Bhí a clár de dhíth uirthi, ach bhí an t-am ídithe.

She needed her board, but time was exhausted.

'Amach anseo!' a dúirt Aisling go tapa agus d'fhéach Séamus iad a bhogadh níos faide, le Fiona ina láthair go cúramach.

'Out here!' said Aisling quickly and watched as Séamus moved them further, with Fiona carefully in place.

Ach ansin, smaoineamh tapa buile ar Aisling.

But then, a quick thought struck Aisling.

Bhain sí úsáid as giotán trealaimh eile a bhí in aice láimhe, ag sciúradh leis an dúshlán ó am go chéile.

She used another piece of equipment nearby, scraping through the challenge from time to time.

Le gach gluaiseacht, bhí muinín ag dul suas iontu.

With every movement, confidence was rising in them.

Bhí sé mar a bhí siar i bhfad - níor mhór dóibh é a dhéanamh mar fhoireann.

It was like it was long ago - they had to do it as a team.

Cheap Fiona bealach níos fearr chun córas cumarsáide a chur ar ais.

Fiona thought of a better way to restore the communication system.

Rinne Séamus cinnte go raibh na hionstraimí fíor riachtanach faoi theocht cheart.

Séamus ensured the necessary instruments were at the correct temperature.

Ag deireadh an drille, bhí gach rud ina áit arís.

At the end of the drill, everything was in place again.

Bhí an dúngha oscailte arís.

The fortress was open again.

Dhúisigh na soilse, ag fáil réidh leis an dorchadas a bhí cloite.

The lights came on, ready to dispel the conquered darkness.

Bhí ar Aisling suí síos ar penny na cumhachta.

Aisling had to sit down on the power penny.

Deireadh sí go ciúin. 'Táimid in ann é a dhéanamh,' a dúirt sí, an cuma nach raibh aici cheana a bhaint amach - muinín.

She said quietly, 'We can do it,' achieving a look she hadn't had before - confidence.

Ar aimsigh an foireann lá inniu.

The team discovered something today.

Aisling ag breathnú níos fuaire, fiú i gcoinne na himní a raibh siad á rialú di ag tús an lae.

Aisling looked calmer, even against the anxiety that had controlled them at the start of the day.

Bhí sí réidh anois le haghaidh éigeandálaí fíor, mar gheall ar an fhoireann iontach a thacaigh léi.

She was now ready for real emergencies, thanks to the wonderful team that supported her.
