2025 - Issues with opening the mirror doors 2045 - Braydn was called in to help assess the situation. Upon inspection we saw that

  1. the mirror doors had closed out of turn
  2. the motors/belts for the mirror doors had become misaligned

We believe this could have been caused by pressure building up in the machinery from extreme temperatures.

We closed up and submitted an RT ticket for the issue.
