Ira appears on the pad somewhat after the others, still looking a tad out of place and slightly nervous; she scans the area with her weapon, still a bit fiddly with it.
"...Is it safe?" she asked.

'Roshal, take DeReeve and go plant the explosives in the eastern part of this basement' said Viggo, entering the telepad room again. 'Ira, you're going with me. Any objections?'

Ira scans the room again; holding her weapon a bit more confidently, "Umm... do you know what you're doing?"

The situation was new and dangerous, Ira's mind worked itself hard to remain functional with the adrenalin filling her system; her weapon ready and orders clear, she formed up behind Viggo and mentally braced herself for what lay ahead.

"Yeah, yeah, coming along," Roshal said as he unlocked the safety on his pistol, his senses alert for any guards that might be near.

Matt and Roshal headed to the east end of the room, carefully creeping forward under the cover the stacks of crates provided. Just as they were about to round the corner of the second stack and come up on the door, a faint whirring caused them to stop in their tracks. A quick check of the situation around a corner showed an automated security camera mounted up near the ceiling, slowly sweeping the area in front of it in a wide arc with its lens. The stacks of crates severely limited its vision, but to the sides it still had plenty of room to see. The turning was slow, however, some 10 seconds for a one-way sweep. The door was there too, as simple as the one first encountered. No visible locks, just a simple on/off panel next to the door. And further down the room, another door closer to the corner. The marking on it seemed to suggest it was nothing more interesting than bathrooms beyond it.

***

Viggo and Ira in the meantime broke off westwards, coming up on the other door there. This one wasn't locked either, and opened at the touch of a button. The room beyond was well lit and, what could be seen from the door, offered no cover. Another camera could be seen mounted up on the wall, its arc not quite reaching the door, but able to sweep most of the remainder of the room with ease. Further investigation (consisting mostly of peeking in and getting quickly out of sight) revealed a slight security presence. Three guards in all, in simple grey uniforms, white helmets and black ballistic vests. The quick look didn't allow for an inspection of weaponry, but none of them seemed to be carrying anything the size of a rifle. Half-way down the length of the room, up against the west wall, was also a forcefield-cage surrounding a droid charging booth, housing a servomech very much like the one now sitting inactive in the storage room Viggo and Ira had come through. From what could be seen, the nearest other doors in the room weren't fitted with a simple on/off switch, but something fancier, possibly a keycard lock. Closer investigation would be needed to confirm it, however.

"Seems like we'd have to shoot it down, aye ?", whispered Matt with a sigh and a sign of anticlimax on his face, drawing his pistol and unsecuring it with a silent clicking sound.

Hugging the wall, Viggo opened and closed the doors for a few times, hoping to lure the guard in by doing so.

"Not sure if anyone is watching the damn screen though," Roshal whispered as he looked around carefully.

"Shooting it might raise a lot of a ruckus.  I wonder if we can exploit that slow arc and sneak by somehow..."

"Sure thing. Let's give it a try.", responded Mad.
He carefully watched the camera turning, then, when its gaze has just passed next to him, he dashed towards the door.

Matt moved up swiftly against the wall as the camera was looking another way. When the lens swept back, it passed over him without noticing him, unable to tilt down quite enough to see the man under it.

***

Back at the other door, the guards in the next room seemed to be getting suspicious at the fact of an open door that nobody's coming through. Some conversation was exchanged, though you were too far away to hear the details. However, shortly after you heard footsteps approaching the door.

When the guard will pass through the door, Viggo is going to put a gun to his head, whispering 'Not a word!'

Seeing that Matt made it across, Roshal took a deep breath and waited for the right moment to emulate what the former did.
