”..Ah alright sure!” The NE said hopping up onto the fire truck and turning on the water and fire suppression foam. Within a few minutes the foam and water did its work and put out the fire near the mine’s entrance and entry way marking the way clear for going further into the mine.

The fire now extinguished, T’Pria led the way into the mine passage itself, retrieving a portable lighting source from within her suit in case needed to illuminate their passage…

Cerny was not far behind. He stayed focused on his tricorder readings. Instead of getting another light source, he flipped a switch on the front of the panel and the screen lit up slightly, the text and other information on it becoming easier to read in the dark.

OOC: The idea of the tricorder having a flip on light makes me laugh joe :P

Coming down the slopped tunnel the pair found the passage splitting into two at a Y junction. The left passage only went on for about 20 feet when it dead ended in ore made of up a combination of coal, copper, and nickel. A small work table was present which showed likely use over the past few weeks, some discarded children’s toys, slightly smokey, were also in evidence. There was also signs of laser based tools from racks having gone missing as well as foot prints in the dirt small though a few were slightly larger leading off back to the right hand tunnel going deeper.

“Are you reading any lifesigns in our immediate vicinity, Commander?” T’Pria enquired as she leaned in to better study the footprints. Then, after appearing to weigh up their dual options she nodded towards the right-hand tunnel. “I would suggest this direction.”

She took a few tentative steps into the tunnel, enough to clarify her own exploration wishes but not so many as to hinder a retreat were the XO to give reason for an alternative opinion.

“Not so far,” he said, twisting another knob on the front panel in order to make sure the scanning was still taking place. The tricorder itself continued to make a constant low-level whistling sound as they kept walking through the tunnels. He wasn’t actually sure how well these scans were working.

Because he was intensely focused on adjusting the tricorder, he didn’t really make any note of their surroundings, and decided to continue along the path that T’Pria had indicated, until he noticed the foot prints and looked away from the tricorder briefly just to check that all of them were human footprints…
