[An Improbable Adventure]

Sadly Fenris wouldn't know what a capacitor is, nor the difference between a battery and a capacitor.

"Most enchanted objects are powered by soul gems," Fenris explains as she's handing the phone back. "They provide a magical charge that's slowly consumed by the artifact."

Oh.

Hmm.

G'nichi is looking a bit concerned about this explanation.

"Soul trapping sapient beings is deeply unethical," Fenris points out. "There's even an argument to be made that the practice is capital 'E' Evil. Only the most vile of necromancers engage in it with any regularity. My gauntlets, for example, were forged using souls from a pair of mammoths. Which, ah, was a bit touch and go. Mammoths aren't exactly easy prey, though it's my understanding that Hircine approved of the hunt."

Hircine's approval fills Fenris with shame.

Then?

The phone rings!

Fenris looks curious.

Nala, meanwhile, is pretty glad that G'nichi is helping a Nexus newcomer. It's something of a rite of passage for heroes after all. Nala also proposes a date next week. Hopefully one that won't end in a hostage situation. Again.
