Xander Morhaime:
The room beyond the smashed door seemed to be a monitoring and maintenance station for the generators. A number of monitors lined one wall, drawing off the emergency power grid to provide a status of the reactors above. The information was quite clear - offline, but structurally intact. There was just the one with a slightly redder message than the others, stating that several feeder and exhaust pipelines have suffered breaches or disconnections. If the readout was to be believed, the malfunctions all occured on this level and there should be no need to enter too deep into the reactor chamber.
Opposite to the door you entered through was a second door - quite frankly, its condition was as sorry as the one you just crossed, with several chunks of it littering the floor. And the floor itself was literally covered in small clawmarks.
Opposite to the monitors, meanwhile, was a rack of one-size-fits-all hazmat/radiation suits, with room for 15, though presently there were five missing. One was in fact lying in a corner, mostly, with a man inside. Judging by the faint smell of decay, this one had died some time after the battle in the security tower. The suit had apparently proved to be poor armour, as it and its wearer were quite severely mauled and ripped up. A handgun was still clutched in the man's hand.
The last feature was a clearly marked spare part and tool storage compartment, right next to the dead man.
Gargulec:
Not proceeding any further, Shioban put down her sack and sat next to it. For a second, she searched for something inside.
Thing proved to be... simple, wooden pipe and a bag of tobacco.
'Okay' she said, lighting the tobacco. 'Now, it's the time for planning. To be honest, we are stuck here for good. Maybe, there is one of this high-tech distress beacons with jump drive here somewhere. Maybe there is some kind of ship, which can be used for escape. Maybe... But we need to know where to go before we will fire this thing up.
Malek Deneith:
- Toy, reality check. We don't have the resources or the information to survive here without power. The doors are closed and I have two breaching charges left total. Also we have only the very basic information right now, and we won't get any better knowledge of the base and what we can do by staring at the basic holo-map in the darkness. Not to mention that with our luck these... things... whatever they are better at seeing at night then we are. Yes, turnign the power on is risky, but without it we're just extending the agony. And the only plan we can come up with what we know at the moment is "find the armory then proceed to find an information terminal or long-range device"
Silhar:
"God curse this all. Our hesitation will not change the damn thing. If we must die, let us die quickly, aye ? Are you afraid ?
And yes, Hagezi, these things have to mainly depend on smelling - their eyes are strongly reduced, like dogs' or moles'. The light is only an advantage for us. Unless, of course, you've got night vision googles, then okay, I'll shut up and be killed like a man.", said Doc shortly. He did not talk much, because he was more paying attention to examination of their surroundings than the discussion.
If anyone paid attention, it can be seen that Doc prays silently doing so.
Gargulec:
Shioban finished smoking, and laid down on the floor.
'Doc... see if you can turn the lights on instead of being afraid, please she said, smiling. Then, she closed her eyes, apparently trying to take a nap. Before, however, she turned her head towards Hagezi.
'Lieutenant? Take first watch, please. Nothing is going to happen now, after all.
