Jord steps up to Drogo with his laser rifle drawn and scans the area for threats and any technology. Switching on targeting computer. He murmurs as he activates his internal Exocortex Combat Tracking function. As he looks around, he glances at the being on the ground to see if he recognizes the species.
Rolls:
Perception:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Life Science:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23. If the check is for Xenobiology, my Theme Knowledge reduces the DC by 5.
Theme Knowledge:
You are an expert in one particular field of study, and your passion for the subject shows. Choose either Life Science or Physical Science and then choose a field of specialization. If you pick Life Science, you can specialize in bioengineering, biology, botany, ecology, genetics, xenobiology, zoology, or another field of biological science. If you pick Physical Science, you can specialize in astronomy, chemistry, climatology, geography, geology, meteorology, oceanography, physics, or another field of physical science. The DC of skill checks to recall knowledge about your specialty is reduced by 5. Your chosen skill is a class skill for you, though if it is a class skill from the class you take at 1st level, you instead gain a +1 bonus to checks with your chosen skill. In addition, you gain an ability adjustment of +1 to Intelligence at character creation.
Sorry Uli - I was going based on Sparks post that said he was running up to the next dilapidated building (on the way to the outpost), and then others followed. Once there they saw the missing local.
Sparks looks around but doesn't see any threats, it is indeed the missing lizard-folk villager. She quickly asses its medical condition finding it is alive, though unconscious, it leg pinned under fallen rubble.
Caldar casts detect thoughts and finds the local does have brain activity, but it seems strained and random.
As everyone reaches the next building, Dr. Buse also assess the injured local, reaching the same conclusion as Sparks. She also notes that it likely won't be hard to free the local. Nevertheless Dr. Buse channels divine energy healing the local and those of the group with more serious wounds.
Drogo stands guard and notes that this building is much like the other stone dilapidated buildings around. Jord also looks for danger, observing that the injured lifeform looks and scans like the villagers you just interacted with.
As the healing hits the local, it opens it eyes seeing all of you, it looks quite surprised. It speaks, and Uli's translator activates, What are you! Please don't kill me.
Right about that time and much to your surprise the storms seems to let up a little.
Sparks thinks this building is like no more protective than the others around, only that the storm has let up is giving relief, if it kicks back up you are in danger here too.
Caldar helps to free the villager after he becomes conscious.
I'm glad we found you alive but we probably should move to a better and safer spot before the storm comes back.
He looks around for something to help with freeing and transporting the villager as well as the integrity of the current shelter and if the other shelter looks to be in better shape from what he can see from this distance.
Starfinders what's that? Do you come from the stars where the Great Wawamba is? I don't know for sure where the exile is. I only made it this far. And I don't care to tempt fate any further. Karbaa says looking nervous.

Uli shrugs, "If Karbaa thinks it's safe enough to return, it's no skin off my neck. I figure the local'd know better'n us what safe traveling weather looks like."
As he speaks he uncouples a small first aid kit from his belt to start treating his burns.
"I'd rather grab this moment to finish patching ourselves up before we run smack-dab into this Exile though."Short rest?
You can tell Karbaa is shocked by your statement and a little undecided about what to do. He sits quietly as you take your short rest. When you begin to gather yourselves to move on, Karbaa speaks My tribe traded for these, i was going to offer them to the exile for help. But I want you to have them.
He hands you a trailblazer fusion seal (4th) and mk 1 ring of resistance. He smiles, Goodbye I go home. With that he darts into the storm running toward the bridge.
"Thank you!", says Sparks, as the lizard-man gives us his items... and then, as he heads off: "Safe return!"
@Drogo - The DM wrote, earlier: But you can see the prefabbed outpost is nearby to the southwest. You think you see an entry door, it might even be partially open. But it's hard to tell. Lower left hand corner, just off this map.
Looking out into the storm, Sparks evaluates the distance to the door.
"Since there's supposed to be some sort of fire unleashed at people going towards the outpost, I'd be up for trying to move in undetected in case there's a motion sensor activated defence system... and then running if it is thermal!"
Sparks casts her spell and conjures a little camo' patterned bandana, that she ties around her head to look like some commando.
She is ready to head into the storm, slowly moving towards the door.
But if anyone just rushes, she will speed up and rush with them.
If Stealth is used, Sparks moves at 1/2 speed to not have penalties. Stealth:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Whoever has the best chance of shooting can take the trailblazer fusion seal. I'm a mechanic, so I'll pass. Give me a computer to hack! :) Probably Drogo or Caldar for the ring of resistance? They seemed to take the most damage from the storm!

I'll attempt to sneak along towards the southwest. Since I'm not the sneakiest so I'll take a little different route than everyone so as not to draw so much attention. If we start to take fire I'll probably rush forward like Sparks said. I do have my artillery laser at the ready. Is it just Uli and me who use guns?
Sneakily as possible the group heads for the partially opened door, and it must have worked as you don't get blast with fire. Heading into the outpost. Debris litters the floor of this otherwise empty chamber. The floor paneling has been ripped up in several areas, revealing the same ground as the exterior. The door to the west sits halfway open, leading outside. The doors to the north and south remain securely closed. You've made it inside.

Anticipating trouble, Buse grabs her the top of her caduceus with a second hand and pulls. It turns out to be the sheath of a blade similar to a sword cane. Her eyes warily scan the chamber as well but still, the front line doesn't look like her area of expertise.
Sparks keeps an eye on the southern door, to make sure no one comes at them from « behind » while Uli moves to the northern door.
Sparks looks around: do the doors have mechanical locks?
@Caldar -- nice rolls, what are you actually doing
You notice the ceiling of the circular structure is 20 feet high, and the room in this prefabricated structure is built using a sturdy plastic material.
Uli finds the northern door locked, security panels which seem to control the doors are in the walls adjacent to doors. Uli also notices a security camera in the middle of the room at top of ceiling.
Lol. Sorry about that. I didn't notice that the rest of my post was missing. Take the below as before my post.
Well at least something went right for a change! Hopefully, things will continue that way but it is doubtful, Caldar thinks to himself as he scans the room for anything interesting or of note.
Sparks looks around, visually checking out the security panel on the south door, to see if there is power in this place, if the panels seem up and running.
Jord, sees the computer on the wall, cracks his knuckles and goes up to the control panel by the northern door. Please, stand aside. I will assess this system for countermeasures and attempt to access the door control protocols.

Does it look like the floor paneling was pried up from below or damage from inside or can we tell? Explosion, some sort of trap that went off? Is this the normal main entrance or an accidental entrance or hole where maybe another module used to be attached?
Drogo inspects the broken entry door and confirms that it appears to be the main entrance, the floor doesn't appear damaged, but the door does seem damaged, but how it was is hard to tell. The storm? Something else?
The group works quickly, as Uli and Jord go to work on the northern door, and Uli crosses some wires in the panel and the door slides open. Was an engineering check required
You find yourselves in a hallway leading to another door, the ceiling in the hallway is lower than in the chamber, closer to 4.5 meters than the 6 meters of the chamber. You move carefully down the hall and the door automatically opens at your approach, you cautiously move to enter the next room. An L-shaped plastic table and accompanying chairs are haphazardly shoved in the northwest area of this circular space. Doors exit to the south (which you just came through) and east. In front of the eastern door float two runes that look like the symbol of the Knights of Golarion. Intruders! They blare.
Sparks looks at the runes: are these like holograms, or does there seem to be some metal or such in them? They are floating in middair, not attached to the door?
Roll:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22if Culture, Life Science, Medicine, Mysticism or Perception
Sparks get a look at the runes and realizes they are actually living creatures, in fact they are archons, extraplanar outsiders. Sparks knows 3 things about archons.

"I dunno, they don't seem that tough!"
Uli rushes into the fray, bounding with excitement as he leaps onto a chair and caroms off of it into one of the runes!

You notice a glint in Drogo's eyes as he sees the need to defend his friends. I move 2 spaces to the right to square up my shot and then fire on yellow.
