The eseutil was able to recover the database for me. I noticed that I had a 
typo in the command line lol! Thank goodness! Full backup time!

The system power was out longer than the UPS lasted :-/

-1018 errors are typically indicative of a hardware error, and with
power going off suddenly I can see how that could be seen as a hardware
issue. If you don't have an older backup you can go to and replay the
log files, I'd suggest contacting PSS. It's really worth the $249 even
if it's just to have them confirm you will need to take steps which will
likely result in data loss.
