Stray Dogs Episode I - The Station of Death

OOC: I undersand Saru didn't hear what Kalerik's said. So he continues paying attention at the information S'skaar is collecting.

"I think you are right, no transmissions for 2 weeks looks like something went awfully wrong there. I've heard meteor mining is a really risky bussiness, they never know what they are going to find until they break them, radiation, alien bacteria..."

At his console in the command center, Hotwire has tuned out the entire conversation and is listening instead to the Ronin "talk." As ship's engineer every beep, ping and click from the various instrument panels, the hum of the electronics and the subsonic vibration of the ion drives are a language that he understands instinctively.

He chuckles quietly when S'skaar calls Kalerik a "Potted Plant". Those without reptilian tongues find Skal'Az words and names difficult, and "Lizard" is hardly the most original nickname given one of their species. Hereixth T'ayil is glad someone long ago dubbed him "Hotwire."

Now the potted plant has just called the Borgoz an unevolved chimp. Things could get ugly now. He decides to pay attention to the conversation. Thankfully Saru plays it cool. Uncharacteristic of his species. L36 could be trouble. Jorbo sure knows how to pick 'em

"Things could get hairy on this mystery facility. I'm going to go check on our gear. I've also queued a weapons systems diagnostics for as soon as the Ronin comes out of hyperspace."

Kalerik chuckles and says to himself, "some of us would know about that wouldn't we". He says it to no one in particular, but seems (all of a sudden) very intent on examining and fiddling with his pack of cigars.
He knows he is shooting his mouth off, but he is becoming increasingly nervous as they draw nearer to danger and nearer to leaving the confines of the ship... and space.

"Bring us around Kalerik, I want to have a good look at this station, see if there's any outward damage. Who knows, being attacked by pirates is always a possibility."

S'skaar will make a Search check.

Saru gives Kalerik a death stare "Watch your mouth pansy, you don't want to see me angry." and continues paying attention to the mission.

My poor search check

Kalerik, now distracted by their destination, looks up and down hoping to find something.

Hotwire nods in satisfaction as the ship's systems diagnostics results scroll across his console. He joins the others in a visual survey of the space station.

OOC: Doesn't the Ronin have sensors of some sort for this as well?

RONIN SCANNER ARRAY

>PASSIVE BIOSCAN.....
>PASSIVE COMMUNICATION SCAN....
>PASSIVE STRUCTURE SCAN....


/// LIFE IS PRESENT ABOARD SHIP. APPROXIMATELY 2 DOZEN SIGNATURES THROUGHOUT THE STATION.
OTHER SCAN ATTEMPTS INCONCLUSIVE///

Hotwire opens up the comms and tries hailing the station...

"Okay, I doubt we're going te get any more information flying circles around the station like that... Kalerik, dock the Ronin to the nearest airlock. Grab your gears boys, we're heading in and we have no idea what is waiting for us in there..."

S'skaar will go gather his equipment while Kalerik does his flying...

Kalerik steers the ship toward Airlock A. His nervousness only being countered by the thought of the weight of his pistol and the hum of his Chainsword.

"Alright, let's saddle up!" Hotwire makes sure everyone is ready before breaking their side of the seal on the airlock.

"Alright Saru, you go first, I'll be right behind you with my medical supplies and my flashlight if anything goes wrong. Kalerik and Hotwire, cover our rear. Okay, let's move!"
