"I'll roll with John, since together we'll have CQB to long range combat covered." Jet follows John along to the northern door, where John reasons, "There's no way it's this simple. Last time it was this simple everything to dark and some creepy robot-bio-things attacked us." He promptly steps to the right of the door, so Jet steps to the left, and D trains his autocannon directly on the door. "Right, here we go." John hits the button and everyone gets ready as the door starts to hiss open: It splits in the middle, the lower half descending into the floor, the upper half climbing into the ceiling. A small cloud of steam emanates from the door as it opens. "My scanners are clear," D reports, though everyone keeps their weapons up. A very short hallway is visible ahead of them, which turns to the right (east) into another corridor. There's also a medical kit visible on the wall. The group's attention is drawn to a sudden bodily thud behind them.

"I'm all for sticking together." Aicaya looks down at the blade and decides it would likely be prudent to remove it. Grasping the end sticking out of her chest with her hands, she slowly tugs on it, feeling pain as it scratches her still tender wound. "Making progress," she mutters through gritted teeth as the blade begins to inch out. A squelching sound accompanies the withdrawal of the blade as it rubs against tissue wet with blood, and a scraping sound as it rubs against her armor. At last, the thing pops free with a final tug and cut. The pain is sharp and the wound is bleeding freely, but it's nowhere near as bad as the initial hit. Glancing up, Aicaya spots the medical kit visible in the hallway past the northern door. "Oh. That's convenient."

D says, "Given our trouble with the monsters we fought earlier, I think it is best to stick together." He notices John and Jet going to the northern door, so he follows them. John stops by the entrance and says, "There's no way it's this simple. Last time it was this simple everything to dark and some creepy robot-bio-things attacked us." He promptly steps to the right of the door, so Jet steps to the left, and D trains his autocannon directly on the door. "Right, here we go."
