LCDR Christopher Decker:
Uh, just to be clear on the situation, isn't the big door to the outside - the door the shuttle flew through - already open? Didn't it open up when we scanned the surface from the shuttle? Isn't that how we got in?
I think I see where the confusion is here.
I have assumed (looking back, there is nothing to suggest) that once inside the landing bay, there will be some kind of doors to be opened to leave the bay and enter the artificial, artefact world itself.
My comment:
CDR Naryss ch'Pertha:
"T'Lara, Decker and Javker, please work on getting those doors open".
was referring to those inner doors that I was seeing in my minds eye ... not the great, exit portal doors.
If that is not the case, and we can simply walk on through into the world beyond, ch'Pertha will have directed
Javker to assist
Mcreeg investigating the shuttle ... while asking
Decker and
T'Lara to continue scanning and deciphering the symbol.
Yes, we are on some kind of deadline ... but ch'Pertha is willing to spend a little time getting their facts and bearings (and an additional escape route if possible) than charging in.
The Abyss personnel have been here ... how long? ... and can wait another 1/2 hour if need be for ch'Pertha to keep his own team safe.
