OOC:

I should say, if you want to check out the transport vessel instead, please do! It's a similar distance away.

Robo-Barbie offers, "I will do my best not to break down negotiations." She is ready to exit the airlock and step out into the void! But first she asks, "Is our destination the Gate or a transport vessel?"

Abara completes his routine of the zero G stretching technique practiced on his father's home world and looks up: "I think it is safe to assume that whoever manned the vessel has already entered the Gate. We should follow them."

"Take her in, I could use a little excitement."

"I had better come along with you all too. We don't know if the reason that they are lounging on that gate is because they are broken down. Plus I find that the offer of a free repair here and there helps negotiations." Ambrose says, stepping out from behind the console and activating his own Vac suit.

The outer airlock door opens and your helmet faceplates instantly polarise and darken as the bright white surface of the Gate stretches out in front of you.

OOC:

How are you heading over towards the maintenance airlock? While your vacc-suits do not have thrusters, your boots are able to be magnetised, and you will have a pouch containing a short length of cable, as well as magnetic anchors, and whatever else you can convince me makes sense!

OOC:

Logic will happily lend a +1d6, but I'll let someone else take the roll since I just went.

"Maybe I should go out first to make sure things seem safe? Any objections?"

"I follow your lead, comrade" says Logic, un-holstering his sidearm with a toothy, toothy grin and posting up beside Scott to cover him as he makes his entrance.

OOC:

I offer you +1d6 and to take my share of the consequences.

"I deem it prudent to have our more physical officers go ahead. I will be right behind you in case we need to initiate diplomacy."

Just to be clear, you're all still in your ship's airlock and will need to traverse across the surface of the Gate to reach the maintenance hatch.

Ambrose makes an "ah" sound then he rifles through the pockets on his jumpsuit. He pulls out a small cylindrical device and hands one to each of the crew members, affixing his own onto the back of his suit. "Now, these here are portable thrusters. They are just filled with a hypercompressed gas that fires out occasionally. If you pull this here," he says pointing to a circle on the face of the cylinder, "that pulls out a cord that will allow you to hook a button for operating it under your thumb. They won't last long but they will help."

OOC:

GM let me know if you want me to roll Lasers for this bit of kit. I was thinking that since the thrusters won't last long we could roll to see if they continue to work each time they are used.

OOC:

Sounds great. The roll can come when if needed!

Robo-Barbie tells her commander, "I assure you, it will not be odd if you deem it necessary to carry me to ensure we are not separated in zero G. My first assignment was as a child’s toy, and I was held quite regularly."

With that, Scott steps out from the airlock of the ship, using his new compressed air can to navigate out. He waits for the others to join him before he sets off.

Logic follows, weapon drawn, covering his comrades.

You emerge from the airlock and begin to manoeuvre towards the hatch. When you make contact with the surface of the Gate to propel forward, you occasionally feel a deep, pulsing vibration from within.

(This might be an unfortunate reminder for those of you who share a bulkhead wall with the captain, since you were subjected to his favourite Tondra-gabber techno playlist on repeat until the early hours of the morning.)

You have been moving forward carefully for a couple of minutes when, suddenly, a jet of gas bursts from an exhaust vent a little away. A second or so later there is another, off to your right and much nearer. You look down, and see this part of the surface is dotted with vents.

What do you do?

"Let's be careful, maybe we better tether us together?" Abara suggests, careful no to proceed further for now.
"Maybe we can use the portable thrusters together, and maneuver ourselves over this hazard without running the risk of exhausting all thrusters at once and too soon."

Logic nods to Abara, seeing the wisdom in being tethered together so that nobody's flung into the void alone. As the crew passes the tether line between them, he reaches out with his electroreceptors to see if he feel the danger below their feet and help the crew find a safe path.

OOC:

If I may, I'll make this a help roll and someone else can lead us.
