D2 -LA - Starport Recon

[Karlotta Roth]

Karlotta brings with her the communication kit in case of need, tying the surgeon box to her belt whilst keeping both hands occupied on the rifle, backguarding the scientst.

[Andrea DeTroyes]

Andrea followed the expedition in her Commando, she remained mostly quiet during the approach. When mines were mentioned, she flicked on the comms, "Understood." Andrea moved her mech to provide another point in the defensive triangle of mechs around it. She smirked as the groundpounders started to hop out of their ride. "Poor bloody infantry." The mechwarrior remarked to herself before going back to watching for hostiles.

[Felicity]

"Shall we form a wider perimeter? This place makes me feel somewhat on edge."

The three mechs parked outside wouldn't have much to do but watch and wait.

[Andrea DeTroyes]

"Seems a good idea, one at the hanger door and the other two shift to either side of the building?" Andrea responded on the comms, "I am not seeing anything that could endanger three mechs...but the dismounts are on their own inside. Not sure I would want to risk blasting a way in."

[Felicity]

"I don't think we need to worry about the hangar right now. I'd rather have someone remain by the APC. They can then cover the front of the building. Covering the sides is smart. Shall we stay in visual range or just radio?" This was a balancing act of priorities. In actuality they'd probably just be getting bored in their mechs.

[Comstar]

The infantry soon saw that they were in a massive lobby of some sort, extending the length of the building, it included four large elevator shafts in individual pylons around the center. The floor space seemed to be, primarily, some sort of employee break area from distant ages past - with decayed skeletons of sofas, chairs, ancient and long broken holo-viewers, and what appeared to be a coffee bar.

On the far side of the room were a pair of emergency stairs with large 'Do Not Open Except in Emergency' warnings printed across them in faded red letters.

[Karlotta Roth]

She looked back, to the direction of sun's light, before adjusting her eyes to the faint light of Reinhardt's helmet. She kept her eyes open... But it was only a lot of trash, for now. No people still. "I wonder if this place has any floors under the dirt. Would you like to go there or up first? Signal is likely coming up, but making sure we are safe is important. It would do well to check every room. We got mechs covering us, if anything."

[Dr. Reinhardt]

Reinhardt, though tempted to investigate himself, points to the elevator shafts, but doesn't move. "We should see if any of the elevators are currently on the ground floor, and check what buttons they have, that would be the first hint"

[Comstar]

A cursory investigation would discover that one of them was on the ground floor - the door was open.

[Thomas Moreno]

"It'd be on if they had any power at this point " Thomas mused as he opened towards the open elevator door eyes open for anything out of sorts.
