*** Inside building * Sidos Complex *** They passed through the central lab room at a quick pace passing humming and quietly beeping devices hich were blurred in the UV light which despite being sharp, lit things badly. It just gave them strange contures. After a few moments they got to the other door from the lab, where the Jem'hadar led them. "Now we have to pss through this airlock..." he said as the rest of them assembled at the bulkhead door. He approached a door panel under the sharp eye of Weaver and pressed few buttons. 'Control systems' a menu was displayed, there he chose 'Airlocks managment'. Blueprint of this level appeared with all of the airlocks highlighted. 'Airlock 05' was marked by another button floating at the end of the line leading from the point on which marked location of Airlock number 05. Terek looked on the floor. Between red stripes marking safe zone at the blast doors were, in large red letters, 'AIRLOCK 05'. "We have to pass through hazardous materials storage zone to get to the path that leads to the large evac tunnels under the facility." explained N'et'vor as he pressed another button marked 'Access Airlock 05 systems'. A submenu appeared, replacing the blueprint on the console. There he tapped a few more commands. Finally he tapped the button 'Reset and open'. Immediately a red beacon above the door began to spin and a short quiet warning alarm sounded. They all stepped back from the door, then the beacon turned into a green colour and a blast door opened surprisingly quietly considering its size. Now they stepped into the airlock chamber.The door shut behind them,a yellow beacon turned on the ceiling and on the wall panel was an inscription 'Scanning in progress'. In the moment the system checked that they were not contaminated from the lab,the light turned to green and a door opposite to that which they entered, opened and let them out. The room they stepped into was similar to the locker room at the entrance to the main research lab, but a bit smaller, with a few security lockers on one wall, some cargo crates and on the opposite wall, another airlock marked as number 06 and next to it, four bulky HEV suits holders, two of them full. It was apparent that those suits were designed for humans, for the Jem'hadar's big body had had a hard time to get inside one. "Lidi... kurna, nevim, proc musej delat ty obleky jak pro batolata..." he had murmured in his language when struggling to fit inside. Now he walked somewhat uncomfortably but without hesitation to the second airlock and did the same thing as in the main lab. Tapping a few commands, red light, alarm, green light, opening door, entering, closing door, yellow light and the scanning process, and then one thing that didn't happen the first time occured. The inscription on the wall display changed into the 'Decontamination in progress' and they were surrounded by yellow fog of some chemical. They all looked surprised, but as they were entering more bio-secure zone, it was understandable. After a moment,a voice reported: [Decontamination completed, proceed. Please stay in the designated areas only and maintain strict rules.] A green light turned on and the blast door let them inside the Hazardous Materials storage room. Now a huge space opened around them and they found themselves standing in a large area from where they saw wide corridors running in all directions, between high cargo holders filled with boxes. "Mighty Prophets... this is something...." said Terek as he thought that those supply lists weren't even half as eloquent as this room. The whole size of the place surprised Rangi and she stood for a few moments looking around. She noticed Terek recording something with his tricorder and Okrin too was studying the marked crates. "Which way do we go?" she asked N'et'vor. He pointed "That way." he replied pointing ahead. "It will take us to evac tunnels...and the shuttles." "Its' guarded?" Rangi asked. "Not usually no...but they know intruders are in the facility so yes..there will be guards and thats why we should hurry." Weaver, reading the markings on the crates too, turned quickly as he heard N'et'vor speak again. " I need a rifle or phaser." the Jem'hadar said. "No." Rangi answered promptly with a slight shake of her head. "But there will be opposition." "No" Rangi repeated as Weaver returned to her side. " We'll take care of any 'opposition'" he stated flatly and N'et'vor looked from Rangi to him and back. " ' We' are armed..' you ' show us the way." Rangi said. For a moment it seemed that he would argue but he said nothing though his expression showed his frustration and he turned away. "We will go as far as we can on the transport then. " he said " but they will detect us." The group folllowed him, Weaver at Rangis side, his rifle trained on N'et'vors back, Terek, still scanning with his tricorder and Okrin with Cross behind. They passed quickly through the packed storage area, Terek scanning everything that he passed as much as he could. Rangi read the names on the crates...chemicals and medication, some of which she could only guess the use of. Many were substances that had their origins in genetic warfare, lectures from her student days echoed into her mind as she recognised names or derivitives. {What else have they been doing here? } she asked herself dresding what an answer could reveal. {There's more than 're-educating' Jem'hadar.} They came to another airlock, stood silently inside and underwent another process of de contamination. This time they emerged into a brightly lit place...a short corridor which led them towards sliding steel mesh doors and a large platform. Ne'etvor looked around at Rangi. " We will go down on this." he said. "They will be aware of our position. " he stated. "Give me a phaser." "How far is it to the shuttles?" Rangi asked, ignoring his request. "About six humdred metres. There is transport..we can take that until they stop us." *** End Log *** Commander Rangi Summers XO USS Chimera & Ltjg Terek Weranis ASciO USS Chimera & N'et'vor Jem'hadar (npc)
