That can be arranged.
The corners of Burn's mouth quirk upward. Fortuitous how Ipqik's desire and our likely course of action align. So many questions -- who sold Ipqik, what would the imp do when free, where is Villyth and what is the number and disposition of her guards? Who else is down here?
Burn keeps his mouth shut and let's Oshari continue a successful diplomatic iniative.

GM:
Kapteyn will check the upper shelves for anything interesting. If they want me to do something with my light that is physically possible, they can ask.
Flying up to the ceiling reveals nothing notable. As you move toward the shelves, you see that that the storage area is incredibly disordered, and many of the containers are sitting on the floor between the racks, blocking some of the aisles. The pallet racks closest to the elevator have symbols that seem to label them. The containers on the shelves contain all kinds of stolen goods from canned food to holographic projectors.
Ipqik flies closer to Oshari, "Alright, listen, I know about that stolen cargo. It is currently in the back corner on the forklift bot. Thing is, Villyth has a group of idiots guarding it." With that, and without further word, he flies off, clearly intending to hide.

"At least they're not smart. Nice work, Oshari. " Burn grins. "
" Burn checks his laser rifle. It's easy enough to make sure the safety is off, even in the dark. " I wish our friend had told us where Villyth is. Vomatian, you're ready on the lights. Kapteyn, you're high. Oshari, lead us in." Burn lines up behind Oshari with a hand on the Nuar's shoulder.

Kapteyn mentions that They saw that that the storage area is incredibly disordered, and many of the containers are sitting on the floor between the racks, blocking some of the aisles. The pallet racks closest to the elevator have symbols that seem to label them. The containers on the shelves contain all kinds of stolen goods from canned food to holographic projectors.
They intend to stay at approximately the height of the other Starfinders' heads unless otherwise specified, and remain close to Burnham (who has no special senses that I can see) unless requested to do otherwise - 5 feet behind ideally, since Kapteyn is squishy.
As you move to the specified location along the specified path you see a whole host of shelving and crates and then darkness beyond. The crates are not very organized and are sometimes out if place and cluttered.
Some of you think you hear some movement in the distance.

I was waiting for Oshari to chart our course since he's the one that can see, but just to move us along let's say we follow the yellow brick road. (line on the map)
As you proceed down the aisle, Oshari spots two half-orcs at the edge of his vision, and an odd fleshy, eyeballish growth on the floor. The half-orcs seem ready to shoot.
Green Pew:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 laser:1d4 ⇒ 3
Yellow Pew:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 laser:1d4 ⇒ 3
crit and hit; 9 fire damage and Oshari is taking 1d4 burn (at start of turn), Ref at the end of turn to put out

My bad, I forgot to move green after I posted it's actions.
Seeing just the little bit from the laser pistol shots, Kapteyn draws in exposed wires. The faint flashes reveal that there are two half-orcs there, but the one father back looks strange...
Fort p:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Fort y:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
After the sparks start flying, the strange one runs at Kapteyn. Oshari sees it charging and leap over the eyeball on the floor. When it gets within Kapteyn's light, you all can see clearly that where it's head should be is just a mass of tentacles, which it then attacks Kapteyn with.

We had you with the party on the map already.
"Vomatian, lights!"
Burn doesn't have to wait for the verthani however. Kapteyn has unwisely pushed forward, or perhaps it was strategy to draw the drow out. In any event the novian has provided Burn with an illuminated target, a target threatening one of his team. And it's ugly.
Burn rounds Oshari and pitches the laser rifle low at squid-head's legs. Drop the rifle. His sword sweeps from the scabbard as he steps past Kapteyn. "Kapteyn, get a little altitude, a little room. And you, Ugly, you pay attention to me and my sword."

Burn frowns even as his sword turns an outflung tentacle away. Preternatural speed, and reach, and it can probably see in the dark while he can't. Better try to end this quick.
"But not too far, Kapteyn, please.
Defensively Burn's got Close Combat going for him. (When you are attacking a foe in melee, you know how to maneuver to make it more difficult for other foes to target you. When you hit an adjacent foe with a melee attack, as long as you are adjacent to that target, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to your ac against attacks from other creatures that are not adjacent to you until the beginning of your next turn.)
Offensively if the team lines up behind Kapteyn they can benefit from Burn's Coordinated Shot. (You can maneuver a foe to be in the direct line of an ally's fire. When you are threatening a foe with a melee weapon, any ally that has line of sight to that foe without you granting that foe cover gains a +1 bonus to ranged attack rolls against that foe.)
The half-orc remaining in the wires jets zapped as he fires off a shot at Burnham. He must have been off target before the jolt because he manages to hit Burnham in the shoulder.
Yellow Pew:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 F:1d4 ⇒ 1

"...huh."
Without missing a beat, Oshari runs around to the opposite side and starts attacking the strange tentacle-thing.
Static Storm Doshko, possibly flanking with Kapteyn? I'm not sure if they're at ground level/are threatening, EAC:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25, 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Oshari quickly wheels around a tentacle slapping him in the back but begins rushing the half-orcs behind the crates. Unfortunately, Oshari has forgotten about the eyeball he spotted earlier. When he passes over the eyeball tentacles erupt from the floor and thrash about.
6d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 6, 1, 6) = 23 Ref for half
The rightmost half-orc looks concerned as Oshari rushes their position and fires a flurry of shots...
Pew:1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 4 = 18 F:1d4 ⇒ 1
Pew:1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 4 = 12 F:1d4 ⇒ 1
...clipping him once.
To all others, Oshari rushes into the darkness and some strange sounds and flashes occur.

Vomatian rules the world!:
In addition to the access codes that will let you open any door, you made the check to upload access to a wireless device (such as a data pad or a personal comms unit) and manipulate the systems listed from anywhere in the building.
Air Conditioning: The default setting is 65° F and allows values from 40° F to 90° F. A PC who succeeds at a Computers check can write a script that causes the air conditioning system to generate steam for 3 rounds, during which time all squares within area A provide concealment.
Automated Defenses: This view shows that automated defenses are currently “online” on the warehouse floor. If a PC succeeds at a Computers check, she can switch off the traps in the warehouse.
Door Access: This setting is currently set to “normal,” which means that any locked door can be opened with the right key card. The other two settings are “full lockdown” and “open all,” which lock and unlock, respectively, all doors on the office floor.
Inventory: The warehouse inventory shows that “Xicton guns” have arrived and are ready for shipping, but the database is poorly maintained, and the precise location of the guns is unspecified.
Light Level: This setting is currently set to “manual,” which means each room has an individual light level set on a control panel in the room. Three other settings (0, 1, and 2) set a uniform light level (dark, dim, or normal, respectively) in the whole building, overriding the individual light settings. If a PC succeeds at a Computers check, she can write a script that overloads the lights, causing them to emit bright light for 3 rounds (which triggers the drow’s light blindness), after which the lights break and all areas of the building are irrevocably dark from that time forward.
