Takeover at Whisper Base

G5 is able to easily determine that the Lieutenant's quarters -- between the Communications room and the Armory -- are presently unoccupied.

Kael and Kal get to the officers quarters without any problems by circling back around the way they came and heading west towards the armory around where they dropped off G5 in the generator room. Security cylinder in hand, Kael attempts to open the door to the quarters and is denied. It would appear that G5's intrusion into the surveillance system for the room accidentally triggered a lockdown on the room.

Hacking the door will be a hard action (3 purple). If you get someone to do it remotely, it'll include a setback die.

Kael and Kal hear the sounds of locks being undone and a door opens -- but it's not the door in front of them. That door appears to be as locked as ever -- and another swipe of the code cylinder to get in leaves them out in the proverbial cold. Turning to look at each other, they notice the opened door is behind them -- into the armory where a handful of suits of spare stormtrooper armor are stowed in plain sight.

G5 is fairly confident he got something open -- but, it's really not clear if he managed to provide entry into the officer's quarters. A quick check of the video feed and the room remains empty of Kal and Kael and the door continues to look firmly shut.

Kael and Kal are able to easily get into their stormtrooper armor and return back to the rest of the crew without incident. Brosck and Moro do a quick double take when they spot a pair of stormtroopers walking casually towards them without their helmets before realizing it is their friends.

The group of "stormtroopers" and their prisoners approach the guards at the landing pad. One of them puts up his hands and say, "Hold on. Access to the landing pad is restricted. What are you doing with these things?" He's clearly referring to the aliens and he gives Brosck a wary look.
