Shore Leave: The Abandoned Facility

Julia does what you tell her. Quinn stands in front of the door, his weapon ready. Lisa is also in position, ready to fire her rifle at any movement.
Once Julia shoots the console, Alira pushes the door open. It's heavy but she manages without much trouble. You hear some shouting from the other side. Nothing too informative. "Cover" or "Intruders"...
As she is opening the door, Alira sees six people in the large room behind it. It looks like the control center of the facility, large, deactivated screens and computer terminals everywhere, a huge tactical terminal that can display large maps in the center. The men are wearing civilian clothes in a style that looks like Earth or at least the center of the Consortium. They are all human, four men, two women. They're all armed with spacefleet style phasers, rifles and handguns and as soon as a moderate slit is open in the door, a phaser beam is fired towards Alira.

Alira dodges out of the way at the last possible second, the phaser shooting through the slit in the door right where she was standing less than a second earlier. Quinn immediately moves to the door and opens fire through it into the room but quickly has to dodge to the side as well when another shot goes through the half-open door. "Whoever they are, they know how to fire a phaser", he says.
Lisa grabs her rifle firmly in both hands and moves to the door. She leans into the opening to fire but moves out of it again before she even gets a single shot off.

The phaser fire from the other side of the door stops but you don't hear the sound of weapons droppin to the ground.

You continue your countdown and eventually reach 0. There is no response or even sound of movement

There is a short delay before you get a reply: "Understood, Lieutenant. We are transporting a team to the entrance and an armed officer to your location now."

You still have to wait almost a full minute until a woman wearing resort security uniform with a belt that has three stun grenades attached to it and carrying a phaser rifle materializes in the tunnel only a meter away from Alira.

There is still no sound from beyond the door untli this point.

The newly arrived woman doesn't hesitate. She goes up the door and peeks through the gap that Alira opened. "It looks empty", she says but she still takes one of the grenades from her belt and throws it into the center of the room.
There is an explosion shortly after and you all see bright light for a second. Everyone standing in the blast radius of the grenade should be stunned just the same as if they had been hit by a phaser set to stun.

Immediately after the explosion, Quinn, the woman and Alira enter through the gap in the door. Lisa follows right after them. It doesn't take them long to realize that the room is empty. Whoever the people in here were, they aren't here anymore.

However, they were not able to hide what they were doing in time. A battery is hooked up to one of the main consoles in the control room and unlike everything else in the room, that terminal is running. If you inspect it, you will be able to see that it is accessing terraforming data, specifically the information on the stellarforming that has been done on the star of the Caspera system.

Julia gets to work on the console right away, Quinn stays with her as a guard. Lisa, Alira, the woman with the grenades, Bea Cardona, (and possibly Zephyr) get ready to beam to the other site. At one point during their preparations, the team that Alira requested to the front door of the building comes in and secures the room.

When they beam over and materialize in the other facility, the command center is already secured. It looks in slightly worse shape than the other site but there is no battery hooked up to any of the terminals and no signs of a fight.
Lt. Mars walks up to Alira and says: "We still haven't searched the whole building but the command center was empty. We did not encounter any resistance. We heard about your firefight. I hope nobody got injured"

Zeph

Zeph goes through the information on the screen with Julia. Although he is a scientist and familiar with the basics of terraforming, Zephyr has trouble understanding much of the jargon, abbreviations and calculations used here. If he had more time, he could familiarize himself with it but for now, he's relying on Julia to explain most of it to him.

"It's possible they have a start in mind to stellarform but the equipment is extremely expensive and even if they have the funds, it will take them years to replicate the success we've had here, even with this data, if they managed to steal it. I'm no expert on terrorism but I feel like they probably have something faster in mind", Julia thinks out loud. "With this data, they could in theory revert the stellarforming of Caspera's star - or change the parameters enough to let it swallow this planet - but what would be the point? Destroying this resort makes no strategic sense and there are faster ways of doing that." She keeps looking through the files with Zephyr, explaining things to him and copying data from the terminal onto her datapad. "I can show this to my commanding officer - or maybe to Maen. They know much more about stellarforming than we do and might be able to pick up on a pattern or anything that we're missing."

Alira

"I would love to say we're increasing security but with the search and the responsibility of guarding the resort guests, we are already spread very thin. I will make sure to remind all my people again that the attackers are armed and dangerous. And I will tell them to shoot without hesitation when they encounter them - Shoot to stun, obviously", Mars replies.
A man in golden uniform joins your conversation. He shows Alira a datapad and says: "There are obvious traces of transporter activity where you encountered hostiles in the other facility. We have not been able to track down their destination but we are continuing our search. That confirms that these people must have a ship in the system, however, as there are no transporters on the entire planet."

Please let me know as soon as you get a lock on that trace.

For now I guess we just continue searching warehouses.

She taps her transporter.

Please transport my team to the next warehouse on the list.

"Stand by", a voice replies and a few seconds later, Alira, Lisa and Bea are beamed to the first warehouse on their list. The building is old and mostly made of wood. Looking at the surrounding area, you are on the slope of a huge mountain, at the edge of a large forest. Lisa, who picked up a tricorder in the second facility, aims it at the warehouse and says: "I'm not picking up any life signs. Should we still have a look in there or move on?"
