The others in turn shrugged into suits - those others including the three representatives from the Spheres. They worked at it in the limited space and, by the time it was done, and everyone suited up, they were ready to get out where there was more room. Bane, however, made no move to take on a suit. “Unnecessary,” he said at a glance from Dal.

Alison turned from looking over Bohannon’s suit. She tapped him on the shoulder, “you’re good to go.”

She looked over at Bane. “Why am I not surprised. Okay let’s get going, as I don’t think we have that much time.”

Grabbing a phase pistol, she strapped it on her suit before grabbing a flashlight and a hand scanner. Ready to go, she hit the release and pushed the hatch open. And putting words to motion, she stepped out of the shuttlepod.

As he was leaving, Bohannon grabbed his engineering bag and his phase pistol. You just never knew what might be needed. After all, what if there was a engine to fix?

As soon as the last person stepped out, she closed the hatch.

“Remember where we parked.” She turned towards the three reps from the sphere. “Lead the way.”

They move along what looked like a post-apocalyptic landscape. Torn flooring, ripped ceiling, eerie patchwork constructs, sometimes the whole of the landscape twisted and bent as though a giant hand had pulled it like so much putty. There were no life signs in the vicinity and their lights made ghostly shadows wherever they landed. Their ‘reps’ appeared somewhat at a loss, though Tosc appeared to have some idea and led the way.

In time they came to a wall of metal. The ‘transit’ tunnel had been bolted over as had other side hatches. Stairs and railings twisted up the wall to these hatches while the transit tunnel looked solid. Tosc said, “This is where all went and did not return.”

Alison nodded, “Alright everyone, tie off to each other. Just in case something slips. Ensign, you get the rear.” Pulling at the tether from the rear of her suit, she handed it to one of their reps to clip onto his suit, and going back from there.

Pulling out her hand scanner, she pointed it down the tunnel. It looked pretty steady, but you never knew. Especially when there were stories of people going in, and never coming back.

“Yes, sir” said Ensign Bohannon as he hooked up his line to the others. “We are ready to proceed sir” came the further response from Bohannon.

Alison nodded, “and everything looks good. But everyone keep an eye out, and watch your step.”

Taking the first step, Alison headed into the tunnel. Going carefully with each step she took, just in case the floor wouldn’t support her.

OOC: Think I missed something in my descriptor …
IC:
The wall that they came to stopped them. Three separate hatches were visible, one at the end of a tall ladder. The other two were a third of the way up, and two thirds up along the wall where a landing from the metal stairway opened up before continuing. The ‘transit’ rails ended at the wall were the tunnel had been plugged. In essence they came to a dead end apart from the three portals and the plug.

Not knowing what to do Bohannon asked, “Should we go back and find another way?”

Bohannon

Alison turned towards Tosc, “Do you know which way they went when they came here?”

Looking up at the stairway, she wasn’t quite sure if it could take their weight.
