"Well, then we save them..." says Damon. He grins. "Of course, in that case, we will have to charge a modest towing fee."

"Thanks... um.. Cnosis.." Gaetanna observed cnosis's actions then got an idea. "Just wondering, since my HUD is capable of syncing with the Greed's systems and with satalite relays.. Would it be possible to sync with that ship from here?"
"If we had their command codes or could hack their system, maybe," answers Damon, still watching the sensor display as Mel brings the Greed closer to the cruiser. "But doubtful. Military ships have exceptionally complex safeguards against that sort of thing."
Computer +10 to know if what Gaetanna is suggesting is even reasonable feasible with our level of skill.

"It's Cnosos if you please. And it's probable, but it would depend much on the damages the ship has suffered in the storm, and the interference the storm is generating right now. I think the only way to know for sure is trying" the man says, glancing to the woman, and then back to the panel .

Cnosos helps Gaetanna in establishing contact with the Syrran ship's computer but there is no response whatsoever. It is quite apparent that the main computer is offline, probably due to the extensive damage the ship has sustained.
Solly shifts weakly in his chair, untensing muscles one by one.
"Could be wounded on board," he says. "I guess I should be one of the one's to go on board." He glances around at the others. "After Pierce has made it safe, of course," he adds, with a smile.

"I guess we should check it out." Damon tries to get a read on the other ship's airlocks. "Let's make sure their airlocks are still functional."

The airlocks seem to be intact and the adjustable seals that are standard on most species' ships make it possible for you to latch on. You can't be sure if the airlock will function and open, nor if the other ship actually has air anymore, but at least you can make contact and try.
"Mel, it looks like the airlocks are still functional. Bring us in for docking." Damon glances at the others. "After our last outing, I've come to expect the unexpected. So make sure you are armed when we board. Hopefully, that ship still has atmo left."

"I'll board, if there's any pieces of salvageable equipment I'll be able to recognize it. Last time I'm damn sure you missed a bunch of staff while I was here. That said, Chatty, are you still with us? I need you to print me those droid schematics. I'll be working on that when we are back." the technician says, before heading to the weapon rack.

Damon smiles at Cnosos' words. "Just be alert, then. I've known you to spend hours pondering a piece of technology, completely oblivious to what is going on around you."

"Finally," Pierce mutters. He moves his body and turns to gather some belongings from the cabin. He returns in a moment with a couple guns and a rather long and wicked looking knife.
He looks at all in the room with an unsettling smile, "Do we have an airsuit I should wear?"

"Once we dock, we should be able to tell if the other ship has atmo from the airlock. If the pressure won't equalize, we know we'll have to wear airsuits."

Licking his whetstone and slowly scraping the already dangerously sharp blade across the rough surface, Pierce leans back against the wall, "So what're we waiting for?" Another long scrape. "The sooner we get in and out the sooner we can get away from this storm and get paid, right?" Another long scrape.
"Let's do it then, I can't wait to see the precious things we can scavenge. I should have been a space scavenger instead of a ship's technician.... Wait... Those two things are basically the same." Cnosos says, chuckling to himself.

"The Syrrans have a very similar physiology to humans, so if there is atmosphere, we won't have a problem," he explains. "But for my tastes we're still too close to that... wedgie thing to risk a hull breach." He shrugs, turning the gesture into a move to hoik up the airsuit. "You may adjust this opinion according to your own levels of testosterone poisoning, of course," he adds, looking at no-one in particular.
Completing the suiting-up process, he glances at Cnosos. "Y'know, the Syrrans are a bit more advanced than us. Could be interesting..."

Mel easily attaches the Greed to the other ship as the guys prepare in the airlock. As the seals tighten Damon taps to the airlock computer and runs diagnostic of the other ship's athmosphere.
It seems the air in the Syrran ship is saturated with toxic gases, probably something caused by the damage. It seems Solly was right in donning the spacesuit...
