  Will they still do the battery next?
  

  
  PIE harness get-ahead install next while they have this bay open.
  Its an electrical cable assembly (not sure what PIE stands for yet!)
  
  EDIT: PAO PIE is Power Input Element

  Any chance they'll take the problem child inside to get a better look and possibly fix the bent guide or remove Story's old piece of bubblegum or whatever? Or would entering an unblessed, pressurized non clean room environment disqualify it?
  

  
  I was wondering the same thing.  Just to get a chance to see it without all of the EVA gear on might show something obvious.
  

  The ground asked the crew where they wanted to put S/N 1007 (COPE or airlock), but I missed what they responded.

• He's trying to connect the cable to ACS J1. Having some trouble since he has nothing to hold on to, and can't get any leverage to mate the connectors.

• Mass is having a little trouble connecting cables. When he pushes on the connector, he is pushing his own body rather than getting the cables connected.

• Next up:
  
  Bay 2 Battery R&R: EV3 retrieves the new Bay 2 Battery from the SLIC. On MCCGo,
  EV4, at the Bay 2 location, removes the old battery. The two EV crew swap
  batteries. EV4 installs the new battery, while EV3 translates over to the SLIC to stow
  the old battery on the SLIC for return. The ground will perform an aliveness test
  followed by a functional test.

  It is -V3. +V3 is on the opposite side of the Aft Shroud. -V2/+V2 are on the axial sides of the Aft Shroud.
