"You have your own agenda with him...Okay.I cant force you to do something you don't want.",Ash says.
He sighs and continues.
"What about the toxins in the facility?How do you want to protect yourself?I guess you don't have a protective suit in
your pockets."

"That shouldn't be too much of a problem," said Kei, silently welcoming the subject change, "the report said they'd been burried for 200 years. Even if the winds had erroded the ground to the point that they containers were exposed these were biological organisms, not chemicals. They'd have to be dead by now."
"Besides, the ship has environmental sensors; if there's anythin' in the air I'll tell ya." says Gordon.
The trolleys begin to go up a very gradual incline, passing a thicker than usual metal beam. Kei taps it as they roll past.
"That'd be the forward bulkhead, not far now."

The trolleys started to slow as they reached the end of their journey. The stopped below a hatch with a large hand-operated deadlock. Kei got up and turned the large wheel attached to it, then pushed open the metal cover. She peered out into the space above, sniffing the air.
"Just like I thought, it's a storeroom." she took a few more moments to survey the room. "Coast is clear, lets go."
Kei hauled herself out of the tunnel and into the room.

After Kei said that its save to come out,Ash climbs out of the trolley and into the room above.
"Lets hope that the ship is close to this room.", Ash says as he examines the room.
"If we cant sneak to the ship,we have to shoot our way to it.We can use the element of surprise.Even though I prefer the silent method."
He walks up to the exit of the room and leans against the wall.
"Ready whenever you are."

A furry hand grabs Ash by the shoulder as Kei hauls him back into the room.
"You know, for someone who says he like the silent method you sure don't act like it. Don't you think that walking round in that tin can will be just a little bit conspicuous?"
She walked over to a row of shelves and began looking at the boxes stacked on it. After a few seconds she grabed a metal case, placed it on the ground and, with a large 3-toed foot, slid it across the smooth metal floor where it came to rest at Ash's feet. Kei took down a few others, but carried them over to the others.
Popping open the latches, she reached in and pulled out...a blue one-peice worksuit, just like the one she was wearing.
"This room is one of our storerooms; tools, datapads, spares," she gave the worksuit she was holding a little shake, "uniforms. Everyone find one that fits and put it on, while I find out where exactly your ship is and how to get there. The wander-around-till-we-find-it approach may work on Earth but not here."
She walked over to a computer console in the wall and began to work on it.

"Calm down.Its not like I was going to rush out and open fire on everything I see."
Ash grabs the small metal case,opens it and pulls out the work-suit.After a few moments he walks over to Kei and waves the suit in front of her.
"I really don't want to complain.But I think none of these will fit over my "Tin can".
He extremely pointed out the "tin can".
"I don't see anything like a pushcart here.Any other great ideas?I mean...It would be a bad idea to pull the...tin can...through the dock,right?

Kei stroked the end of her muzzle, thinking. She looked Ash up and down.
"You know," she said, "from a distance you'd look like a robot. It's just the colouring's not right for one of our worker bots. Unless..."
Walking away from the computer screen, she went over to a different shelf that was stacked with cardboard boxes instead of metal crates. She opened one and pulled out an aerosol can with an ugly blue lid on it.
The same ugly blue as the worksuits.
Kei gave Ash an evil looking smile that showed her very pointy teeth.

"Whoa,whoa,WHOA!I know what you want to do with this.No...just...no."
Ash walks a few times up and down the room,trying to think of another way.After a few moments,he stops in front of Kei.
"My beautiful armor...the accurate paint job...", he mumbles.
"Fine...fine.It cant be helped.But stop looking at me like that.Not.Funny."

Giggling, Kei began to spray-paint Ash.
"Oh, this is so very funny. Don't worry, the bot's here complain about it too. Most of them have their own custom paintjobs, so the only reason they wear this is because it washes right out with solvent. We'll take a can with us."
In a few minutes Ash looks like a new man, in armor. Armor that's a very ugly shade of blue.
"There, now your just a regular blue-collar robot, pun intended." she steps back to admire her handywork.
"Hey, how are you guys comming along?"
((Mach, Jess if your still in it, havent heard from you in a bit so theres a cue for you.))

Machaeus has used two disguise spells - Urufu now looks like a blue-haired, grey-eyed kid with a cape and white clothes, as well as a strange armor that neither Kei nor Ash has seen in person, only read about. It's called chainmail.
Machaeus is staring at Urufu with green eyes, his blonde hair traveling (sp?) to his shoulders. He is dressed in a suit. "Where have I seen that before?" he asks.
"Ryuu from 'Breath of Fire'," Urufu grins.
"I never should have let you pick out the disguise."
"Easy, I'll just tell them I'm a LARPer. And if they ask, you simply say, 'He'll tell you EVERYTHING he knows, and we'll be here for another year, if you ask that', then drag me away."
"But a VIDEO GAME CHARACTER?!" Machaeus hisses. Kei and Ash roll their eyes, and Gordon rolls his camera piece.

"Yeah... he's not always like this is he?" Kei asks, but walks back over to the computer screen before anyone answers.
"Well, just like I thought. They've got your ship under guard. Take a look," she stepped back from the screen. It showed the view from a security camera inside the hanger thier ship was in. There were guards of many varing species surrounding it.
Kei folded her arms. "I think there's too many of them to take on directly, at least not without risking damge to the ship, so I'm in favour for a diversion. Suggestions?"

Urufu turns to Machaeus. "Can you make something explode by using a Hellfire Blast on the inside?" Urufu asks.
"Only if I have a portal to aim it through," the mage replies.
"Aim inside an unused crate. Then close the portal and make another one nearby, preferrably behind them."
"Why?"
"Banshee Scream'll knock 'em out at best, destroy their eardrums at worst. We can take them down before we even go in."
"So distract them and blast them when they go over to inspect it, assumedly en masse?"
"Basically. If they send one or two over, we'll think of something else."

"Nice thinking, but the fire-thingy would set off the suppression system, which would lock down the hanger. Which means when we, teleport as you say, were going to be face-to-face with some very wet, very alert guards." says Kei, still trying to think of a good idea herself. "And not all beings have eardrums, and from this camera I can see... four who don't. But four's better than twenty.
"If we could get them out of the hanger... maybe. Ash, you got any ideas?
