== Mayfair ==
The engineer grimly nodded, accepting that going with Robin was the best course of action, even though he very clearly didn’t relish the idea. When Mayfair asked who might be best to come with them, the engineer scanned over whoever was left at the barricade. A moment or two passed before he spoke.
“If you want my honest opinion sir?” he said, “And this might countermand your previous orders.”
Waiting for even the hint of a ‘please continue’ from Robin, the engineer then spoke his mind,
“I think it should be you three that showed up, and me. No one here is in any real shape to fight, and if we encounter anything down there, we’ll need fresh eyes and bodies. I know there are patients that the doc needs to patch up, but they aren’t going to get much better even with that help. Not really anyway…” he trailed off, seemingly unsure of his own reasoning.
“All I know is that we have to be careful down there; if we do encounter these things on the bottom level, well, the reactor doesn’t play nicely with phaser fire. We have to be extra careful around it, or we’ll cause a meltdown,” there was a waver in his voice, “or worse.”
== Miller ==
Aeryn would be able to configure her tricorder to do a more narrow scan. Instead of getting a broad field of view, she’d be able to get more range and clarity. It wouldn’t take long, and the results would quickly appear. There was enemy movement that she could detect, but it was located out of the primary perimeter of the building. It was possible that the shield prevented them from coming in, or perhaps, provided some kind of field that distorted scans and made it harder to detect anyone inside.
However, as Miller moved the tricorder manually to scan, she would be able to count at least two enemies that were inside the perimeter. Near the entrance to the building, they were hidden behind cover and were probably the sharpshooters aiming at the barricade. They did not move, staying quiet and stationary. If they were snipers, they were well trained.
