[NEW] Star Frontier Adventure [IC]

[Shayuri]

Echo lifts an eyebrow, then glances at the drill. The time and noise it would take to assemble... Perhaps the simpler answer was better?

She steps back from the personnel entry door, cocks back a fist, and swivels her torso as she punches forward, driving that fist into the door directly at the point she judges to be weakest...where the makeshift lock is located!

There's a CRACK as something in the door snaps, and metallic CLUNK. When Echo pulls her fist back, there's a print of her knuckles embedded in the surface. She pushes the door open.

"Shall we proceed?"

(Lets see if we can get lucky and just slam it open before we do the long, complicated thing. [roll0] That's raw Str. If there's an applicable skill, let me know...it could add to the roll)

Summer stared at the door where Echo had punched it. “Or that works. Remind me never to get into a drunken bar fight with you,” she commented. “Well, you can’t get drunk. Whatever. After you, Tin Woman. You can’t get killed, so I’ll hide behind you.”

Echo gave Summer a frown.

"You're very much mistaken. I am as vulnerable to destruction as you are. There is no backup copy of my mind, nor would one be simple to create."

"...and I'd prefer Echo to 'tin woman.' The latter sounds like a reference to a literary character, rather than an actual person. I deal with enough of that sort of confusion among people I meet as it is."

She pushes into the room beyond then, drawing her own disruptor pistol and keeping her eyes moving, alert for trouble.

“Yeah, okay,” Summer answered Echo. “But it’s not like you’re really alive, ya know?” she whispered as she followed the android into the facility, scanning the interior for threats.

"For a sufficiently narrow definition of 'alive,' perhaps," Echo replied flatly, though also at a low volume.

 

[GreenKarl]

As the pair debate the meanings of life, Angel glances inside of the refinery noting that it's very dark but the low rumbling of machinery can be hear from within. The room within was vast, taking up the whole first floor of the structure. There were stacks of large crates on each side of the floor -- each one maybe 15ft by 15ft and 15ft high, stacked two high -- that took up most of the room. Nothing moving appeared nor were there any other noises from inside...

GM: The drill will work if you want to carry it about. It weighs a good 50lbs and will functions for only a couple of rounds but can cut through even the metal of the structure fairly quickly. Its just really cumbersome. Otherwise, actions?

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Axel looks at his team.

"You want me to go check it out?"

 

[mfloyd3]

Angel nods. "But watch yourself," she adds. "Don't assume these people are...stupid." She is aware that that's not the word she wants, because she can't quite suss what it is that Axel is doing, but she tries to make her point all the same.

 

[GreenKarl]

Axel made his way into the structure -- which a appeared to a storage area for the huge crates. Markings on the side seemed to indicate various processed minerals. Just past the main loading/stacking area was a heavy industrial elevator, a stairwell that lead down and some office like rooms on the opposite wall. The stairs were an open steel setup that lead down and Axel could see and hear a lot of sounds of machinery below. There appeared to be a figure standing or lurking at the bottom of the stairwell (about 30ft down) but he was partially obscured within the shadows of the stair-scaffolding. Axel could not tell if he was armed or on guard. The stairs looked sturdy but they might make enough noise to be heard over the sounds of machinery beyond...

GM: If anyone wants to try and stealth down the stairs I would like a DEX +Stealth check. This would be a contested skill but the 'listener' below is at a penalty

 

[Shayuri]

Echo followed some ways behind Axel, glancing at the crates momentarily before producing her scanner again. If the goons in these mines had energy weapons, or powered personal gear, she might be able to find those signatures...if the stronger energy sources of machinery didn't drown them out.

(OOC - Echo is many things, but stealth isn't one of them. She'll let someone else take point. )
