They'd found a possible way forwards, so...yay! But just as they were about to exploit it - or rather, argue about exploiting it, since Lyssie was being her usual paranoid self over what could be up there - it seemed that they had some visitors. Thank fuck for light and Jules, that was all she was gonna say, 'cause if they'd wanted to sneak up on them, they wouldn't have heard a thing. Either way, they ducked into the workshop just in time, it seemed, because the lights outside stopped just by the forcefield...which meant either that they'd not seen them, or they were preparing for some kind of grenadey-entrance. Hopefully it was the former, but she supposed that they would find out if it was the latter soon enough! She ducked down behind a piece of machinery in the corner, doing her best to obscure herself from the doorway, keeping her gun trained on the entrance, just in case. Her darkvision was a Godsend here - she could keep an eye on things whilst not revealing her presence with light - and if they happened to walk through that door, she could open fire without them being aware of her...at least, that was the plan.<br/><br/>She glanced at where Lyssie and Reva were hiding, too, and gave a shake of her head in the vain hope that they might be able to see it. They could be following up on a signal sent by the turret, but that wasn't guaranteed. Nor was the possibility that they'd investigate the rooms and find them; it was a likelihood, certainly, but they shouldn't treat it as fact and jump out all guns blazing if they could avoid it. If they let one of them escape - or if they missed a check-in - it was pretty much guaranteed that they would be discovered. If the chance existed that they could still get out of this without being discovered, then they should at least try it.<strong>"We shouldn' jump to any conclusions, y'know?"</strong>she said into the comms. She'd used to whisper in a vacuum out of habit, but she'd gotten over that by now.<strong>"They could just decide it was a false positive, after all. Or they might just be on a routine patrol, we don' know. But if we get into a scrap and they radio for backup, or miss a check in, there goes our element'a surprise."</strong>She glanced around the room.<strong>"If they come into the room, jump 'em. But we shouldn' act until then. Revvy, is there any way t' seal the door closed so we have some time t' get into the hatch?"</strong><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Val Rolled Stealth: 1d20a7 Result: 17 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=145604)</div></div>
