After Earth

Damon grins. "Don't worry, Mel. I'll pick it up on the scanners if the weapon systems begin to power up, and you can get us the hell out of here before they fire."

"Yep, lets go in and see what this place is about. Cnosos, Michael, grab your sidearms and lets get suited up." Faris headed to the weapons locker and retrieved his shotgun and body armor.

He headed for the airlock, flicking his comm on along the way "Sorry to bore you Melara and Damon, but somebody's got to watch the ship. We'll try not to be too long." Then he flicked off and got down to getting himself into one of the ship's space suits.
 


Damon shrugs as Faris' words come over the intercom. "Fine by me; if you get yourself killed in there, I get an immediate promotion." The tone of his voice leaves you wondering if he was joking or being serious.
 

Michael straps on his medical bag as he heads towards the airlock, "I think that would be debatable, Damon. he says dryly, "Anyhow both Faris and Cnosos will be fine. The only people that are in any danger of dying are those who are stupid enough to attack us.
 

"Yeah, well, I'll keep the Greed running hot, if you don't mind. Just in case you guys come out running and shooting."

With that, Mel guides the ship down for a gentle landing, making sure to position the ship so its weapons are pointing towards the base. Just in case.
 

Once everyone is suited up, Faris heads out across the moon's surface towards the cloaked base. He flicks on the suit comm as the trio gets a little closer to the station "Cnosos, you'll probably have to get us in. You ever heard of Unity building anything like this?"
 

Visually the base looks like normal human-built bunker. It has an airlock that is big enough to take some small cargo through. As you close to the airlock you notice that there are tracks leading from the base. Looks like some sort of surface-vehicle. Taking a moment to assert directions you come to the conclusion that they lead towards the way-station. The airlock is open which means that whoever left here, did not even bother to take the few seconds to switch on the the security-codes.
 

"Have never heard of it, and I was pretty aware of things like this one back in Unity." Cnosos replys by the com.
When he looks at the tracks, he instinctively rise his hand to scratch his head, but he couldn't. "Hm... I don't think we encounter much company inside, whoever could be here, seems to run of quite fast. Thinking it a second time, have your weapons loaded, if the people that were here have to run away so quickly, we may find some nasty things in there" Cnosos turns to Dorb and orders "Open the airlock Dorb" as he ready his weapon and aim it to the airlock entrance.
