"We may have a problem here, Sigil." Melanoce reports back. "The sensor has been noticed, and your intrusion will soon be known if it isn't already. I suggest you collect those samples and get back here, by teleportation if necessary. It's time to kill this thing and I'd rather not do it with you still inside."
ooc: Do we have any bombs (A or H or better) onboard? Chemical weapons? Nanites, super-germs, anything else that would do massive damage to the ship/organism if dumped inside it trough the mirror?
How fast could Melanoce get her fins on some of those things, with or without use of the mirror?

"I speculate that all of you could endure the unpleasantnesses of cold space long enough for the ship to arrive and pick you up. Even that may become a preferable option to staying if matters get too serious in there... Just something for you to consider."
"Now, let me see. Hmm, yes, I have a simple computer generated model of what we've seen of the craft so far. Finding the gate shouldn't be too difficult."
She transmits the map to the adventurers.

The ship is equipped with a transporter that has adequate range but cannot get a 'lock' to transmit or pick up anything within of the living vessel. Karnak's ship's armaments include anti-matter bombs, about 5 times as powerful as a single H bomb but 'clean', and a force beam array. The bombs dentonated within a few miles out should, at least in theory, do quite a bit of damage, but targeting may be a problem. Melanoce may be able to get a hold of more powerful weaponry and have teleported out to her within fifteen minutes, but would require negotiation wit bureaucrats.
The party is only about a quarter mile from the exterior of the living vessel, but a route hasn't been scouted for that. And you don't know if there's anything like an airlock available. Melanoce's route to where the mirror's sensor is located seems straightforward, but there were several groups of entities in the way when the path was scryed.

Sigil scowls at the news. No good options, merely acceptable. And if she couldn't close the portal...
"Lets try to get to the portal," she suggests. "If Melanoce can't close it or move it, maybe we can at least secure its location and stop anything from getting through until we figure out what's going on."

ooc:
Could she not simply drop the bombs trough the Mirror, close the portal and remote trigger them? Or does she believe she can not close the portal once its been opened? In that case how can the party be evacuated trough the portal, if anything on the other side can follow then trough and any explosion in the creaturecraft would blow up the ship as well trough the mirror?
If the anti-matter bombs are too big to fit trough the mirror (and she can't reduce them in size magically) does she know of any potent weapons that would?
Can she drop normal grenades trough the mirror's portal to aid the group once they get to the chamber?

(It's always been my understanding, though I'm not sure if there's an actual rule to support it, that creatures can pass through, but not phenomena. That is, you can open the portal into vacuum and not get sucked into the mirror as all the air rushes out...or underwater and not flood yourself. That suggests that using the portal to toss explosives in might be safe for -you-...probably not for us. 
And you'd want to be careful that nothing on the other side threw the explosives -back- before they blew up. )
