It wasn't long before the engineers had reached their destination, an access panel flanked on both sides by the tube's interior lighting strips. Altairi rubbed his eyes, adjusting to the bright light that had replaced the darkness seeping out of Engineering. He turned to find a newly illuminated Kedus doing the same.
The chief's hand hovered just in front of the panel, feeling for warmth. It withdrew to his hip and unclipped the tricorder from his utility belt. That too began to hover over the panel. Ideally, the corridor's computer would have sealed off any plasma flow to the junction if it detected a leak, but he wasn't about to risk his face to find out.
"You know, this reminds me of that cricket back on the Tesla." He mused, waiting for the tricorder to make sense of his scans.
"Cricket?"
He gave Kedus a look. "Oh. Earth insect. Chirp chirp?"
"No clue."
"Remind me to write you a holoprogram." Altairi's eyes shifted back to the screen in front of him. "Looks like I've got a reading."
== GM: What do outward scans of the junction seem to reveal about the malfunction? Also, for the sake of moving forward, if its deemed safe to open, assume Altairi opens the panel and scams the systems inside ==
