[20:12] <bynw> [22:20] <Raith> ::Looks back at the others:: "This was his room. I...just know."
[20:12] <bynw> [22:20] <Raith> ::Looks down at the keypad and runs his fingers lightly over it::
[20:12] <bynw> [22:22] <Raith> ::Slowly he pushes the keys one at a time. 6,1,2,7,5, enter::
[20:12] <bynw> [22:23] <bynw> *the door clicks but doesnt open*
[20:12] <bynw> [22:23] <Raith> ::Looks for a seem or edge to force open the door::
[20:12] <bynw> [22:24] <bynw> *the seem is too deep into the doorjam*
[20:12] <bynw> [22:24] * Ken examines the lift mechanism
[20:12] <bynw> [22:24] <Raith> "Frak."
[20:12] <bynw> [22:25] <Raith> ::Moves out of Kens way::
[20:12] <bynw> [22:25] <Raith> "I think I unlocked it, just have to get the damn thing to slide open."
[20:12] <bynw> [22:26] <Raith> ::Closes his eyes and breaths deeply::
[20:12] <bynw> [22:26] <bynw> *Jaeih stops at one of the other quarters. looking at the keypad. which she promptly pops open to reveal the curciuts under it ....*
[20:12] <bynw> [22:26] * Ken glances up at Cap and moves to the door pulling out a small divice that looks like pluger with a parallel handle
[20:12] <bynw> [22:28] * Ken attaches it to the door and then attaches a small cable to his belt back
[20:12] <bynw> [22:28] <bynw> *the door slides open easily
[20:12] <bynw> [22:28] * Sathara stands there with the flashlight in her left hand and her right hand ready to grab a weapon, if need be.
[20:12] <bynw> [22:28] <bynw> *grating across the floor*
[20:12] <bynw> [22:29] <Raith> ::Smiles at Ken::
[20:12] <bynw> *** END RECAP ***
[20:18] <Raith> ::Steps carefully into the room, watching his step in the darkness and keeping Sathara's light to his back::
[20:19] * Ken detaches the tool and puts it away in his belt
[20:19] * Sathara shines the flashlight into the room.
[20:19] <bynw> *the floor cracks with the sound of debris ... it appears that no room was spare a good ransacking by those that followed those that found Raith in his clone tank*
[20:20] <Sathara> !5 df
[20:20] <Raith> ::Looks about:: "Looks like they got to this room too, wonder why they locked it after themselves..."

[20:23] * Ken sweeps the room ahead with his em scanner
[20:23] <bynw> *residual readings typical of the current surroundings ... nothing unusual
[20:24] * Sathara sweeps the room with her flashlight, and then scans back after thinking she saw something.
[20:24] <bynw> *the door the Jaeih is at out in the hall clicks open*
[20:24] <Raith> ::Moves over near a bunk and takes a knee::
[20:24] <bynw> *its dark without a light shining on anything*
[20:25] * Sathara shines the flashlight over by Raith.
[20:25] <Raith> "Sathara, more light over here please..."
[20:25] * Ken looks back toward Jaeih
[20:26] <Raith> "Ken, can you go with Jaeih please. I don't want anyone wandering off alone."
[20:26] <bynw> *Jaeih is prying the door open with her hands ... and it grates across the floor as she moves it open bit by bit*
[20:26] * Ken moves over to Jaeih
[20:27] <Ken> "You want some help with that?"
[20:27] <bynw> *Jaeih* "I've got it" *she says as she has the door open enough to slip inside of the room*
[20:27] * Ken follows Jaeih
[20:29] <Raith> !df 5
[20:29] <ChanServ> Result: (+)(+)(+)( )(-)
[20:29] * Ken scans the room with his goggles
[20:32] * Sathara steps nearer to Raith, flashlight shining on him and his surrounds.
[20:34] <Raith> ::Raises his voice a bit to be heard in the other room:: "Ken, Jaeih back here."
[20:35] <bynw> *Jaeih heads back to the door and the hall ... and then to the room containing Raith, she stops at the door*
[20:35] * Ken follows Jaeih after sweeping the room with his em scanner
[20:38] <bynw> *Jaeih* "That room was ransacked as well. From the circuitry of the doors they auto closed when there was still power here ... before the generators went missing. nothing here anymore."
[20:39] <Ken> "strange; would like ot look at that power room."
[20:41] <Raith> "over here ken." ::Points to the floor at his feet::
[20:42] * Ken moves over and takes a look
[20:43] <Raith> ::Looks to Jaeih:: "I think you might be wrong."
[20:44] <Raith> "You think you can pull something from those?" ::points to crystal fragments at his feet, broken::
[20:45] * Ken pulls out a anti-static/soft lined pouch and using an insulated soft grip picks up the tiny shards of crystal
[20:45] <Ken> "I can try"
[20:45] <bynw> *as Raith points them out ... everyone can catch sight of the shards of a broken data crystal that has been smashed ...
[20:48] <Ken> "Don't expect quick results; if it can be done it will take a lot of time"
[20:48] * Sathara looks down at the data crystal shards and shines the flashlight on them so Ken can see what he's doing.
[20:49] <Raith> ::nods:: "Let's move on. See if we can find anything else. Ken you have something that would scan the walls or floors for safes or concealed depressions in here?"
[20:49] * Ken carefully picks up all the shards and then lays them out separately on the opened pouch and then places it inside the pouch and vacuum seals it
[20:49] <Ken> "Yes"
[20:50] * Ken pulls out his deep radar scanner and his unltrasound imager
[20:50] * Ken scans the room carefully
[20:51] <Ken> "Nothing in here"
[20:52] <Sathara> "What the frak happened here anyway?  I mean, there was obviously once an Alliance presence here.  Why'd they abandon it and who the frak dismantled this place so frakking thoroughly?"
[20:52] <Ken> "You say this is where you were found?"
[20:55] <Raith> "Yep." ::moves off towards the head:: "Sathara a little light here."
[20:55] * Sathara follows Raith, flashlight shining.
[20:55] * Ken puts on his goggles and sweeps the room looking for power connections and coolant connections
[20:56] <bynw> *the head was a one piece unit ... and its pretty much in tact*
[20:57] <Raith> "If I was me. And I knew I'd come looking for me. And I knew someone else would come first, I'd try to leave a message to me. Something cryptic so if it was found it might not look important. Something not easy to find. The crystals fit the bill. I'd smash them myself. But you know if you write on a mirror with your finger, when you steam it up...."
[20:58] <Raith> ::Breaths heavily on the mirror to fog it up:: "...words appear."
[21:01] <Ken> "Raith do you understand Binary?"
[21:02] <Raith> "Is that anything like a threesome?"
[21:02] <Ken> "Only in fuzzzy logic."
[21:03] <Raith> "Then no." ::looks back at Ken and chuckles::
[21:04] <Ken> "Whoever gutted this place did it well but locked doors and open doors could be interpreted in binary."
[21:05] <bynw> *Jaeih* "Have we found an unlocked door?"
[21:06] <Raith> ::Blows on the mirror repeatedly:: "Sathara, light here. On the mirror."
[21:06] * Sathara shines the light on the mirror.
[21:07] <Ken> "Or even lack of doors where there were some."
[21:08] <Raith> !df 5
[21:08] <ChanServ> Result: (-)(+)( )(-)( )
[21:11] <Raith> ::Talking while he's scanning the mirror and continuing to blow on it occasionally:: "Interesting Ken. What do you think it says?"
[21:12] <Ken> "Probably nothing but not something most people would check for."
[21:12] * papaganoush (~papaganoush@OWIRCN-accb3152.abhsia.telus.net) has joined #teara-adan
[21:13] <Raith> "Would you have to catalogue all the doors by sight or would the central power room probably have a record of which ones closed and which ones didn't?"
[21:14] * Ken pulls out his imaged map and starts marking where doors were gone or open and where they were locked and closed. He then writes out the sequence the doors are encontered in as they entered.; creating multiple possiblilites when a room had more than one door.
[21:15] <Ken> "By sight, that way even if the place was gutted you could reconstruct the sequence."
[21:15] <Raith> ::Smiles at Ken:: "Mirror has numbers on it, but I can't get them all. Some are smugged."
[21:16] <Ken> !df 5 Perception
[21:16] <ChanServ> Result: (-)(+)(+)( )( )
[21:16] <Raith> "4C6345, then it drifts off and I can't pick it up again until, 985.C"
[21:17] <Raith> "Mean anything to anyone?"
[21:18] <Ken> "Could be hexadecimal or Octal"
[21:20] <Raith> "985 then it trails again before the C. Parts I can't read. Looks like missing characters."
[21:20] * Raith has quit (Quit: The computer fell asleep)
[21:23] * Kagi (~Nameless@OWIRCN-b388c854.ma.charter.com) has joined #teara-adan
[21:27] <Ken> "DLFcdeoffi blank l"
[21:28] <Kagi> ::looks at Ken in confusion:: "What?"
[21:28] <Sathara> "What the frak?"
[21:28] * Kagi is now known as Raith
[21:29] <Ken> "Not Hex unless that sequence of letters means anything."
[21:30] <Raith> "I don't think he'd have used obtuse references to programming."
[21:31] <Ken> "If I can combine what I see with what you see I get this; 4c6345f77985 someithng c"
[21:31] <Raith> "What about coordinates. On a star chart."
[21:32] <Ken> "Could be"
[21:32] * Ken pulls out his pad and keys in the coordinates.
[21:33] <Raith> "Or possibly planetary coordinates."
[21:37] <Raith> ::Looks to Sathara and Jaeih:: "Any of this mean anything to either of you?"
[21:37] <Sathara> "Don't mean a gorram thing to me, Cap'n."
[21:38] <Sathara> "I'm still sitting here wondering what the frak is going on."
[21:39] * ambush has quit (Quit: )
[21:42] <Raith> "Lets move on. I'm sure Ken can think on his feet. Jaeih that other room open?"
[21:42] <bynw> *Jaeih* "After I forced the door. Its gutted like every other room."
[21:46] * Sathara follows Raith, flashlight at the ready.
[21:46] <Raith> "Lets take a look down stairs. Keep an eye out, someone has left us a bread crumb trail but it's up to us to find it."
[21:47] <Sathara> ::under her breath:: "Assuming the frakking mice haven't eaten the bread crumbs."
[21:52] <Raith> ::Steps into the quarters that Jaeih forced open::
[21:56] <Raith> ::Looks about::
[21:58] <Raith> "Sathara, can you check the mirror in the head. Fog it up." ::Smiles slyly at her::
[21:58] * Knaight (~K@OWIRCN-7f5a4555.hlrn.qwest.net) has joined #teara-adan
[21:58] * Sathara breathes on the mirror to fog it up.
[22:00] <Sathara> !df 5
[22:00] <ChanServ> Result: ( )( )(-)(-)(-)
[22:02] <Sathara> "I don't see a thing, Cap'n."
[22:03] * Sathara shines the flashlight around.
[22:06] <Raith> "Well it was worth a try. Hiding things in plain sight seems to be way of this thing."
[22:06] * Sathara breathes on the mirror again.
[22:06] <Sathara> !df 5
[22:06] <ChanServ> Result: (-)(-)(-)(+)(-)
[22:15] <Raith> "Lets give one more room a visit then head down stairs. Ken, you want to get one of these doors open for us please."
[22:17] * Ken pulls out his odd suction type tool after ensuring it is unlocked and then uses it like a handle
[22:20] * Sathara follows with the flashlight shining.
[22:21] <Raith> ::Follows in last, then heads to the bathroom and the mirror there::
[22:21] * Sathara looks around, shining the flashlight all over the room.
[22:21] <Sathara> !df 5
[22:21] <ChanServ> Result: (+)(+)( )(+)(+)
[22:22] <bynw> *the room is ransacked liked the rest ... nothing of note sticks out
[22:23] * Sathara follows Raith and shines the flashlight toward the mirror, trying not to flash anybody in the eyes.
[22:25] <Raith> ::Breaths on the mirror to fog it up::
[22:25] <Raith> !df 5
[22:25] <ChanServ> Result: ( )(+)( )(+)(+)
[22:28] * Ken suddenly pulls out his datapad and starts making some furior calculations
[22:28] <Raith> "Nothing here."
