The drone hovers around head height and moves off along the short corridor from the airlock, but soon comes to the obstruction of a closed door which (according to the blueprints given to you by Mister Kenbouri) leads to the main Aft section of the ship, which contains the Service Central and Machine Halls. The crew quarters are located in the bow of the ship and are only accessible via the service elevator which runs along the spine of the ship, approx 200 or so meters away.ManWithDoor wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 4:39 amAmir nods, focusing on the drone controls to scout ahead. "Heading down the corridor towards the quarters. Or at least, where the quarters should be."

Re: Coriolis IC: THROUGH THE DARKNESS
Most of the data on the dead person's tabula is corrupted, but one file is viewable, the crew manifest.
From the images on the file you surmise that the dead crewman is the engineer, Kakinwene Rabolbour.

Zaynab says, "There's no guarantee the other doors will be any more easily accessible. And we may need to get access to the machine hall if we want to keep the Orun II from drifting farther into the asteroid field. It may be worth the time and trouble to force the door open."

Basil pockets the tabula. "Here, I'll go and give her a knock. I've dealt with a few jammed doors in my heyday flying with the Legion."
He advances down the hallway to the drone and the door where it appears to be blocked, and does exactly that.

Fayz checks the door with Basil. "We better make sure we can see if someone was getting locked out or locked in. Might tell us what happened here." As of right now, it appears there was some sort of violent episode on the ship. However, they needed to know who or what was the threat, and if the danger had passed.

Amir sets the drone to auto-follow Basil, then pockets his tablet so he can draw his rifle. "Alright, covering your back. If you end up needing help with the door, just let me know."

Re: Coriolis IC: THROUGH THE DARKNESS
You can see that, through the small glass panel in the airlock door, the room beyond is in darkness. With only the light from the helmet mounted flashlights on your exo-suits you can vaguely make out tangles of wires and tubing across the walls and ceiling.
Basil knocks on the door and after a few moments it becomes clear there is nobody coming to answer.

Hearing nothing, Basil leans on his good leg and tries to wedge the door open with his hands.

Re: Coriolis IC: THROUGH THE DARKNESS
With a shriek of metal on metal, the door slides open. Beyond the doorway, a pitch black room can be seen by the headlamp in your helmet.
Wires, cables and tubing can be seen snaking across the floor, walls and hanging from the ceiling of the room. To the aft, you can see the outline of a doorway, presumably one of the Machine Halls and directly ahead of you, you can make out the wall of what the blueprints show as the Service Central.
