Silhar:
"Whew, t'was close. You lead then, Hagazi.", he said with a sigh, aware and looking around, hoping not to spot any more "suprises". "God, I'm getting to hate this. I suppose it's not the only clockwork for unwelcome guests - and it doesn't seem we are welcome here at all..."

"So, boss, where did ya serve ?", Doc asked, while they were reaching for a hole and another wreck.

Xander Morhaime:
The shallow trench carved out by the crashed shuttle seemed a convenient enough path to the perimeter wall. Judging by the occasional blast crater in the side of the trench, the shuttle had already taken out any mines along the way. Or so you hoped.

You didn't step on any approaching the shuttle, at least, so that part was a success. Approaching the shuttle, you could see that, at least from outside, it was mostly intact, not counting heavy damage to a wing - one maneuvering flap was entirely gone. By the look of things, its impact with the wall had crushed the pilot's cabin as well, but at least the wall was a bit worse for the wear as well. Instead of a steep, smooth surface, it was now missing a good-sized chunk and had quite a few cracks running up the damaged segment. It was still some 12 metres tall, but at least with all the damage, it should be possible to climb it.

As for the shuttle's rear hatch, it was still closed, though the panel on the side still seemed to have power.

Gargulec:
Shioban raised her hand, giving Hagezi and doc universal 'Hold' sign.

'Let me handle it. I want to check what is inside that shuttle'' she whispered, and very slowly and carefully approached the hatch. Then, sticking close to bulkhead at the panel side, she upholstered  pistol and pushed 'OPEN' button.

Xander Morhaime:
There was the hiss of hydraulics as the hatch opened a bit, stalled, and then dropped the rest of the way with a clang as the internal machinery gave out, letting loose rocks and soil tumble out. The reason there was loose soil and rocks is because... well, most of the shuttle's underside was missing, and as it carved out its trench, it apparently scooped up quite a bit of earth along the way. Judging by the jagged edges of the hole in the floor, this at least wasn't the work of energy weapons. The lack of floor also meant that there was a noticeable lack of sleeping pods, just a few left-over cables and wires dangling sadly from the walls. Whatever took out the floor also seemed to jar open some of the overhead storage compartments, though deeper in you could make out a large container hanging from ceiling webbing. A few other such harnesses were present, but torn, their cargo apparently lost on the way down.

Silhar:
Vince crouched, sweeping the environment, while Shioban was investigating the crashed shuttle.
