A peppering of small arms fire up the landing pad suggested that whatever conflict claimed the communications tower, and left it a black smear ringed by jagged metal, also spilled out onto the asteroid's surface. Anyone who remained on the unprotected surface would quickly starve of oxygen, if Astraeus' recent pulse had not cooked them in their suits already.<br/><br/><strong>Exiting the ship for the surface will require a VAC suit or other breathing gear. There are two spares in the Dolly Dagger, though they're completely unflattering and make you look like a space janitor.</strong><br/><br/>The station's doors survived the firefight intact, and stood sealed. Without the communications tower it was impossible to hack them remotely from the Dolly Dagger, but from an access point of the doors themselves, or a network link to a drone sent in your stead, it should be possible.<br/><br/><strong>The doors can be opened with Hacking (D1) or Tech (D1) by a drone or by anyone in a VAC suit. Doing so in a suit requires an Extraplanar (D1) test. Failure on the Extraplanar test consumes 1 oxygen load.</strong><br/><br/>Thanks to the blast which took out the communications tower, another entry gaped to the stars. The sealed blast doors led straight into the station's halls, but reaching them would require braving the gutted tower in a VAC suit.<br/><br/><strong>The communications tower blast doors can be opened with Hacking (D1) or Tech (D2) by someone in a VAC suit who first succeeds at an Extraplanar (D2) test. Failure on the Extraplanar test consumes 1 oxygen load.</strong>
