Nick looks at the welded plate and wonders aloud, "I wonder if that was to keep people out, or to keep something in?"

"Well," Meredith says to Nick, "I don't think it was part of the original construction, which means it was added after the base was abandoned...which means there wouldn't be much point in keeping anything out. Happy."
She takes a chemical glowstick and breaks it, making it emit a soft green light.
"Call me stupid, but I like seeing the floor before I shimmy through an air duct. Just in case there's a pool of acid or spikes or a big giant mouth or something."
Assuming no one stops her, she tosses the stick down the shaft.

With a look at Nick, Cade shrugs as he cuts the hatch and says, "Given our track record, you probably already know the answer."
Cade follows Meredith's chem-light with a sonic resonator check, too.
"No harm, no foul, Mere," says Cade with a grin. Paraphrasing the Boy Scout motto, Cade adds,"Be prepared has always worked for me, too."

The glowlight fell down into the shaft, hit a surface, and started rolling down, illuminating hte vent in a sickly green glow. The shaft went downwards at a steep, but traversable, angle. After a while, the glowstick disappeared from sight. You estimated that the shaft went down about a hundred feet. There weren't any obvious dangers.

Before Cade offers to take point, Diego interupts him by stepping forward, and he just nods and moves over to updatre Diego's PDA.
"We'll secure you with a rope and harness," says Cade to Diego. "Once you get to either a good spot for us to join you, or the end of the rope, tie off and we'll use it as a guide rope to get to you."
"We've got a good sounding so far," adds Cade. Then says with a chuckle, "But, just like last time, it ain't fool proof and sadly, we're the fools."

The team carefully lowers Diego down through the shaft. A few moment pass without incident, and he eventually arrives in the armory, having to kick out a vent cover first. The computer readout indicates no toxins in the atmosphere and the radiation level, while still hot, is no longer at the point where exposure would be instantly lethal.
The light on Diego's suit reveals the armory. It's a cold, spartan affairm, with metal walls and floor. There are racks of AK-47s and machine guns, along with numerous old magazines of ammunition. Old style body armor and Soviet military uniforms are also present, along with old grenades and crates of explosives stacked haphazardly.
On the floor and lying against the walls are about eight dead bodies, Soviet soldiers. Perfectly preserved by the cold. AK-47s are clutched in their hands, and it looks like they shot each other, judging by the way their bodies fell. Numerous shell casings are scattered on the floor, and the bodies and walls are riddled with bullet holes.

Diego ties the rope to a convenient handle.
Looking at the bodies, he tries to guess something about the battle that took place. He's hoping for any sign that there were two distinct factions. Because if it was a free-for-all, it could mean some kind of confusion effect is liable to occur once the others join him.
Nontheless, if he senses nothing unusual, he signals that the coast is clear.
