Opening the door to M6:

This tidy kitchen contains a sink connected to a large vat of water, an electric stove, and several shelves of prepackaged foodstuffs. The only exits are a door in the east wall and awserving window next to it.

The foodstuffs appear to be little better than MREs (You can grab, like 14 of them for a set of one week's rations . . . there are plenty)

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

"Anyone know what those strange markings are on the sink and stove?"

Pratt helps himself to some food, replacing any he has eaten in his backpack.

mysticism: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"No idea sorry," said Xaun.

Rook turns towards Pratt and simply waves a hand in front of his own face.

Pratt rolls his eyes (which he knows Rook probably wouldn't see either).

"Everyone grab some of these rations. We may need them, or perhaps we can share them with the colonists."

"I can smell you being snarky," Rook said, as he collected a few rations for himself.

287 stands completely still with a pistol aimed at every door. His appearance as a mechanical statue of sorts.

Pratt ventures over to the door at M8.

He searches for any markings on the door, along with an opening mechanism.

There is a simple door-opening mechanism (such as a door handle) The door reads 'Control Center' and doesn't seem to be trapped. As Pratt gets near, some circutry in his armor lights up and the door light turns from yellow to green.

Pratt looks to his teammates.

"You guys ready? It looks like we might be entering the inner sanctum of this place."

"This unit is prepared."

"I'm ready," said Xaun. Their voice was steady but the petals on their face fluttered anxiously.

Pratt gives Xawn, 287, and Rook a nod. He readies his laser rifle, and opens the door.

As Pratt hits the door panel to open it:

This circular chamber is dim, with only a few spotlights illuminating the computer equipment that rings this room on wide, sweeping panels of metal and plastic. The illuminated screens of the computer systems include a station that is clearly designed for weapons control. Delicate racks hanging from the ceiling contain communications equipment. A projector in the center of the room, hanging from the ceiling, displays a holographic image of Nakondis. The door in the western wall is labeled with green letters, as is the door in the eastern wall.

Two guards, one in heavier armor one in lighter armor, seem to be reading something off of Azlanti datapads. They both look up startled, then shout "Wha? Intruders! That must be them, get 'em!"

The other shouts "Whoa, look at that, they taught some sort of hairy beast to stand upright and wear armor!"

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (6) = 7

With that last attack, the Azlanti in heavy armor goes down. The thing in the roof keeps flashing random people in the eyes until someone turns it off (it's an easy computers check, you don't have to roll it.)

Gear you find:
roop ceremonial plate, standard taclash, survival
knife, Revolver (Tactical pistol, capacity six range 40) with 6 small arm rounds

Training Sniper Rifle (Coil Rifle, Precision), Syringe Stick (Standard), Azlanti Specialist Armor (Zeizerer Diffractor I)

Now with some time to stop and look around, you can get a good look at this area:

This circular chamber is dim, with only a few spotlights illuminating the computer equipment that rings this room on wide, sweeping panels of metal and plastic. The illuminated screens of the computer systems include a station that is clearly designed for weapons control. Delicate racks hanging from the ceiling contain communications equipment. A projector in the center of the room, hanging from the ceiling, displays a holographic image of Nakondis. The door in the western wall is labeled with green letters, as is the door in the eastern wall.

"Reconstructor 287, is there anything you can do about that flashing nuisance?" asked Xaun.

Looking around they remarked "This looks like some sort of command centre! Clearly this is where they planned their conquest of Nakondis,"

"Affirmative," 287 responds as it advances forward and plugs a cable in to the computer equipment. What can I do with these computers?

Computers: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

The ceiling mounted device stops flashing people as 287's head turns unnaturally far toward Rook. "Captain, I am able to unlock all of the doors in this place? At the moment it requires an Azlanti wearing their armor."

Going to need a 10 min rest to get my stamina back

"Can you actually do a full lockdown for the moment? I need a breather."

"It is possible, Captain."

"Hold on. . . .I have Azlanti armor on. I haven't had any trouble with these doors. . . ."

What’s the next move?

"Should we not be facing more Azlanti?" said Xaun looking around quizically. "Where is everyone?"

10 min rest and then pressing on

Can I lock everything down from here?

As soon as everyone is ready, Pratt will lead the way into the next room.

You are able to lockdown and rest no problem
