"Ah … ok," Li says calmly, "we've got our suits on. Little known fact: phasers work in vacuum. Anyone else have a weapon? I think this place is deserted, probably, but just in case."

"Yeah, it definitely doesn't look like we're the first to get here. Maybe this place has been picked clean."
Veya muses out loud as she moves from the flight seat to the locker containing her suit and gear.
She fixes the holster of her slug thrower to the outside of her suit. "This will work it a vacuum. Old-fashioned chemical propulsion, no oxygen needed. Heat build up might be an issue. Wouldn't want to get in a long gun fight in no atmosphere. But then, nothing to breathe probably means a short fight anyway."
She checks her own suit and does an eyeball of Li outfit.
"I guess we're ready."

As you all suit up and leave the door of the ship you descend to the floor and look around. Big but not huge, this station seems like it would have the capacity for a lot of different things, but as a research ship you understand that it has a lot of influential power in whatever industry it would be in. But this also reflects on the damage. Someone wanted to damage this ship and cause as much suffering as possible. The two ships are in pieces and Veya at least understands that the intact ship is not going anywhere any time soon. There are burn marks up the storage units and the crane on the other end is twisted somewhat. There are two doors close and one very far away. The far away one looks the most damaged but still closed.
What would you like to do?
OOC:
Hopefully the map makes enough sense. Your ship is the circle in the bottom left. Jun 2, 2025 3:57 pm
Li fumbles with the suit radio. Eventually he gets it to transmit. Hopefully on the right channel. "I don't want to climb through rubble and wreckage in a pressure suit in vacuum," he says. "Puncturing a suit would suck. Let's go through the door to the right of our ship, at this end."

Veya whistles as she takes stock of the hangar.
"Someone really did a number here. Almost seems a little vindictive, but maybe they just wanted to make sure that no one was getting off the station."
"That could be good for us. It might mean that they weren't confident they were able to completely clear out the station."
In response to Li's suggestion she adds, "Makes sense. Let's go easy and let me go first. I got a nose for trouble and a knack for dodging it."
Checking that her slug thrower is still secured to her suit. Veya edges towards the door that her partner had indicated.

Edging toward the door, the silence is deafening. The door looks scratched up and a little warped but seems to be sealed enough as it should. There is a key pad next to the door. Normal number pad with a green button and a red button and a microphone button. What would like to do?
OOC:
We will just play that Bowie is there with you and she can jump in whenever she wantsJun 5, 2025 1:37 pm
"I think I got this," Li says confidently. He starts pushing buttons on the key pad …
OOC:
Tech skill ftw — fwiw?Rolls

Li starts to poke at different buttons, the other two watching understand that, he has done this before, he has some type of system to is mayhem and after pushing 12 different buttons, each with a piercing beep, the key pad starts flashing red with a lower beep to it. The screen on it begins also to flash "Error" and as the door begins to open, all members hear a distinctive metallic release sound, as if there was something behind the door being armed or triggered.
OOC:
