[22:43] <+Alaric> ((worst luck with the tech... )) [22:43] <+Elana> ((really)) [22:43] <@BradGM> **Grendel, you try to adjust the aupex, but something goes work and the screen goes black!** [22:44] <+Elana> ((what, no fire? *disappoint*)) [22:44] <@BradGM> ((he didn't try to turn it on)) [22:44] <@BradGM> ((so no fire)) [22:44] <+Alaric> ((heh)) [22:44] * +Mira_Atella asks again, "Anyone? Schematics? We need to know what should be over there." [22:45] <@BradGM> ((**something goes wrong, not work)) [22:45] <+Alaric> "I don't know. But I'm fairly certain it is not what it was if this corridor is any indication," he says scowling. [22:46] <+Mira_Atella> "That isn't why I asked, but if it's an area that had weapons, or key systems.. we could figure out if we should avoid it or not." [22:46] * +Grendel lets out a curse in binary as the auspex goes blank. He fumbles with the data-slate for a moment, putting down the vox-caster thinking a nice mechandrinte would come in handy right now, studying the schematics to see what's in that direction. [22:46] * +Elana closes up to Alaric, scanning the indicated area with a closer examination of her photovisor-enhanced eyes whilst keeping her weapon ready. [22:47] <@BradGM> **Grendel, the schematics doens't speaks of the xeno ship; since the scavenger scew didn't go further, the only indication is the data-slate/aupex showing a general bearing of the pride of Terra.** [22:47] <+Grendel> "No schematics since the scavengers didn't make it this far. Its just in the direction of our travel." [22:48] <@BradGM> **The corridor goes on for what seems like a mile before forking; the movmenet was 37 meters away..eprhas there's a door you don't see?** [22:48] * +Grendel puts up the data-slate, attempts to murmur the prayer of rebooting for the auspex. [22:48] <@BradGM> **Roll tech-use+10** [22:48] <+Alaric> "Damnation. I suppose we do this the hard way." He nods towards the corridor. "Emporer Protect us." He reaches down to pick up a piece of broken metal and tosses it down the corridor a ways to see what happens, just for the heck of it.

"We have little choice it seems." [22:53] <+Grendel> "37 meters away." [22:53] * +Alaric hefts his gun and takes a slow step forward, alert. "We can't stand here all day. Let's move, unless you have better ideas." [22:54] <+Elana> "A spiritus dominatus, Domine, libra nos ..."6, the Sister chants as she marches onward, leveling the boltgun and simultaneously scanning the horizon for movement.

[23:00] <+Elana> ((doesn't the wall end somewhere, or at least have an opening/door/whatever?))

[23:02] <@BradGM> ((you could use melta-paste..a round or two should cut a hole in the wall easy.)) [23:02] * +Alaric quirks an eyebrow, looking down the corridor after a moment. [23:02] <+Grendel> "I said no such thing. I simply points out we do have a way in."

[23:04] * +Elana seems to hesitate. 1"It is an option, though we risk alerting the enemy of our presence." 6She turns towards the Tech-Priest: 1"Can we open up a passage so that they will not notice us? Is there another section behind these walls?" [23:04] <+Grendel> "The auspex merely informs that they are there, not the composition of the rooms beyond." [23:04] <+Mira_Atella> "Considering we don't know what's on the other side, with them, I'd say they already have the upper hand if we just barge in." [23:05] <+Alaric> "If the paste could get through the entire wall and into the room where they are...maybe. But it is a risk. And one that doesn't necessarily help us in our mission. Perhaps it might. Perhaps not." [23:05] * +Elana breathes out, frustrated. [23:06] * +Grendel shrugs patiently. [23:07] <@BradGM> ((in the grim darkness of the future, there is only indesicion [23:07] <@BradGM> )) [23:07] <+Lazerus_Grim> "He could be one of ours...." [23:08] <+Alaric> "I say we move on.

[23:08] <+Alaric> "But that human is likely from the ships original compliment...who knows what has happened. Not to mention the 5 other Xenos." [23:09] <+Elana> "If he still lives, he must be their ally. Which makes him our enemy." [23:09] * +Grendel looks over to the "Minder" for a decision. [23:10] <+Grendel> "So do we move on, or do we slay our enemies?" [23:11] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Do we think he can taken them?" [23:11] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((take*)) [23:11] * +Grendel continues to study the auspex reading. [23:12] <+Alaric> "There is no way to know. I say we press on." [23:12] <+Mira_Atella> "Agreed." [23:12] <+Mira_Atella> "The direct route may be through there, but there are too many unknowns. We can find another way." [23:13] * +Elana seems to hesitate, but finally nods. 1"It does not sit well with me, yet this could be a mere distraction from our end goal. I will bow to your decision." [23:13] * +Grendel points down the hallway. "The direct route is still that away, without the movement. [23:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( I thought that they were in the path of our goal.. otherwise why are they even bothering to stop? lol )) [23:14] <+Alaric> "I dislike it as well. But we have our duty. Perhaps later," he shrugs. [23:14] <+Alaric> ((moving on!)) [23:14] <@BradGM> **You walk almost to the end of the corridor; no other movmeent is detected.

[23:16] <+Elana> 6Meanwhile, the Sister Militant keeps watch once more. [23:16] <@BradGM> **Grendel, the als cutter won't cut it (heh)** [23:18] * +Grendel frowns after a few minutes of trying. "We will need the meltapaste it seems." [23:18] * +Alaric nods without looking, still way of attack. "Do it." [23:19] * +Elana 's helmet turns towards the Tech-Priest. 1"How many times may we make use of it altogether?" [23:19] * +Mira_Atella stands clear of the area. [23:20] * +Grendel applies the paste to the xenostech. [23:20] <+Alaric> "We have several applications I believe," he says absently as he guards.
