Geo exits alongside Bill.

"You remember where the lockdown tool is, per chance?"


Bill looks confusedly back at Geo for a second before he realizes what he means, and begins by opening the door by scanning his watch at a wall-mounted scanning pad, "Oh yes. They wouldn't shut up about it in briefing and had us sign probably 4 waivers about it. Follow me."

He heads down the hall immediately to the right, then enters a large room to the left. There are rows and rows of these devices, lining walls for some several hundred feet back. Bill stops just inside. "Enough for two-thirds of the human crew."

John follows Bill, he glances around while they are walking for any janitor supplies or a janitor's closet.

Jack follows Bill as well, looking rather puzzled at the tools.

There is a janitor's closet near the front of the engineering unit, but the ship appears clean, immaculate, even.

John attempts to enter the Janitor's closet and attempting to take what equipment he can.

The biggest thing that John finds is a floor waxing machine. Again, though, nothing seems to need cleaning here. Didn't Bill say that they had to break open a cryo-pod?

"Not even the engineering Automatons got let out? Freaky.", Jack says.

Disappointed, John links back with the rest of the group but still keeps a keen eye on any janitorial supplies he can find.

No janitorial supplies to be found right now.



"The engineering automatons are few and far between. Most of them would work the maintenance role."


Bill takes one of the blasters off the rack and hands it to Jack.

"Take this."

"John, c'mere," Bill says, taking another blaster off the wall.

Jack seems to snap out of whatever he was thinking of when the blaster lands in his hands. "Woah uh... What's these for?", he asks.

Bill leans close to Jack. "That bot out there?" Bill nudges his head in the direction of the tram. "Got a protocol malfunction. We're taking it in for repairs. But this..." Bill lifts the oversized sciency-looking rifle. "Ensures it complies."

"Uh... Right", he says as he looks at his gun and back to Bill.
