Mel watches the team suit up and says, "I'll stay here, I guess and keep the engines hot, just in case." She doesn't sound happy to be left behind...more resigned. "You guys be careful in there."
Gaetanna scratched her head, unsure of what she could do. After a moment passed, she decided that she should at least attempt to try to patch herself into the Syrran ship's backup systems.
Damon suits up, and gathers his weapons and gear. He didn't expect anything to remain alive over there, but he had been surprised before. Before opening the airlock, he tests the com unit, making sure that the others can all hear him.

"I got you Damon," Pierce turns his body to face the other three coming along. "If it comes to it and they're wearing airsuits too, just slice into them. That'll open the suit to the gas or whatever it is."
"Are we really expecting anything hostile?" asks Solly with a frown. "I mean, they're floating adrift in hyperspace, in a ship full of poisonous gas. I've not heard that the Syarr are particularly hostile to humans, so if there are any survivors surely they'll be rushing to thank us, not kill us?"

Damon twirls his tactical knife in hand, and then sheaths it. "I'll cut 'em," he says. He ensures his guns are fully loaded. "Or blast 'em. Either way." He shrugs and smiles, and turns to Solly. "And no, I'm not expecting hostiles. But it is best to be prepared. I've seen some damn funny things happen out here in the black."

"Less mouths to feed, Doc." Pierce appears ready, facing the airlock door, waiting for the depressurization or whatever kept them from not getting their eyeballs squeezed out of their sockets.
"Piece, you've got point," says Damon, triggering the airlock mechanism. "I'll cover you. Cnosos and Solly, bring up the rear."

"We'll follow your lead." states the greek man. He turns to Solly as the airlock opens "It's not the survivors that worry us. I'll tell you the story once we're back."

Squeezing his frame through the door as it opens, Pierce takes his first step into the now open airlock, he half expects an ambush at any moment. He knows nothing of these Syarr folk, except that they probably bleed and if he pulled hard enough he's sure their limbs pop off just the same. All things considered, for his first time boarding a potentially hostile vessel, the man is quite calm.
The airlock hisses open to reveal a small locker room. Lying on the ground is three Syrran crewmembers, all in spacesuits that they have tried to hastily don, but they were too slow and lost consciousness before they could finish.
Now that you are onboard, Cnosos gets a better reading on the gas and determines that it is engine coolant vapors. Their coolant system must have ruptured. If you can find the engine room and seal the rupture, you could probably filter the air inside the ship. Since there is still air, it is obvious that the hull is intact.
Mel checks the latching of the grapplers and is fairly certain that they could take the stress of towing the bigger ship. She corrects the position to keep the ships still on beacon.

"Wait, what story?" asks Solly nervously as the airlock cycles. But before Cnosos can answer, they are into the Syrran ship.
"Oh..."
Solly bends to examine the Syrrans to see if they are still alive.
OOC
Taking 10 with Treat Injury check if I may, should be enough to tell if thye are dead or alive. Does d20 Future have any penalties for cross-species medicine?

Solly kneels down on the crewmember who looks exactly like a pointy eared human with a very slight blueish tint to her skin. Checking for lifesigns it is obvious that this one is still alive, barely, but alive nonetheless. She is breathing very shallow and you are quite sure the vapors will soon kill her unless you can get clear air to her lungs. You could try suiting them up to their spacesuits as they seem to have air-tanks attached. Frantically checking the two others (another female and a male) you notice that they are in similar condition.
OOC
Voda, yeah, looking from the back would be the logical place to find the engineroom.
Simon, no, there's no general penalty. Only when performing surgery on alien species you get penalty without a certain feat. But other uses of treat injury works normal. Coincidentally, the Syrran are extremely similar to humans. So much that some scientists of both species are speculating a shared genetic background, though since both homeworlds are lost it is hard to determine exatly how this is possible.
"They're still alive," says Solly. "Help me get them into their suits, we can still save them." He begins to do so with the Syrran currently in front of him, trusting to the others to help.

Damon kneels down to help Solly seal the suits on the three Syrrans that are in the locker room.

"Piss. Instead of stabbin' I'm savin'." Pierce sheathes his blade and kneels down to help, trusting the Doctor and Damon to do a majority of the work. A hero Pierce never was, and worse yet, he hated to share. So three mouths to feed, humbug. Once these blue aliens, blaliens, were settled up snug, Pierce draws out his knife again and looks fit to lead Cnosos to the engine rooms.
Seeing his three comrades already helping the crew members out, Cnosos stay out of the way, thinking he'll not be of any help. "You might want to take them to our ship's airlock..." he suggests

Gaetanna curses in French as she tries to gain access of the Syrran's system. "Alright, I'll try.. but this probably would be easier if I was a board their ship.."
I'm not sure if I made the first hacking check since I'm not hacking the "internet," but instead a vehicle.
The second roll... well... it is unlikely to have been successful (if I had to evade the computer's security). If there's no security, then I might have been able to find the ship's schematic.
