Scans would indicate that there were chambers beyond each. While it was difficult to speak of ‘age’ as this entire region is ancient, there was some indication of work having been done on the second of the portals - a kind of reinforcement at the mechanism.

The sealed tunnel was just that. Sealed. The metal plug was some meter thick . It was hard to tell what was beyond.

Having seen the scans Ensign Bohannon replied, “It does not look much better over here, either. I think our best bet might be to climb, but if you are wrong it could be bad. Thus, the call is yours sir” exclaimed Bohannon.

Alison sighed, of course it was. As she looked back at the scan data, there had to be something to give her an idea of which way to go. Looking more closely she was able to tell that there was some reinforcement work on the second of the portals. Either they were using that portal more often, wearing away at the mechanism’s, or they were trying to keep something in there. Either which way it was at least something to go on.

“Let’s try that one,” she said pointing to the portal. “I’m showing that there has been some work down to the mechanism on it, could be a good sign of more use out of the portal.”

Following the orders given him he replied, “Aye, aye after you, Lt.”

Alison grumbled, of course it wouldn’t be that easy. Taking a deep breath she started climbing up the ladder. “Don’t follow to closely in case the supports can only hold so much weight.”

Time to find out what was behind the hatch.

In space no one can hear the creak …

But perhaps it was imagined as the climb began, or was it the feeling that the ladder was just a little off center and felt just a touch off balance. Regardless of this, they made it to the landing where the hatch was. It appeared to be a simple hatch. A grimy glass port, small and round was in the center. The hatch was secured with two different levers that were controlled by a central half wheel just under the glass port. By the look of it, by shifting a handle that protruded just above the wheel it would release the levers securing the door. There was no lock visible.

If it was tested it would take someone strong or two people on it to shift it, but it was possible.

Alison made it to the landing and she quickly scrambled off the ladder. It held, but it was definitely not a pleasant climb. Solid ground was, very welcome.

After taking a breather, she moved over to the hatch, and looked through the round port. She grabbed the handle and tried to spin the wheel.
