<Me? I'm just along for the ride and helping where I can. Hero work right? Your guess is as good as mine as to where the horse is from or what we should do with it, maybe some sort of authority on the station?>

Jonk finds a few empty cases in the thug's pockets, he figures the hideout probably had a stash somewhere though.

"No I meant, can you get some magic juice back so you can help me... communicate with it? I reckon just like you and Jippo and now Bertram I suggest we let them go where they want after we free them from this place."

Jonk takes the armor off of the Chimeran and puts it on assuming no one would object.

"Enson, do you want to distribute this stuff as you've been doing?"

<Oh certainly!>

Wollipog meditates to full Spirit and casts Speak with Understanding (-3 Ether) ([6,+1] 2 Successess = 20 Words)

<What would you like me to say?>

Aysu takes a seat across from the gigantic doors and munches on a snack leaving her refreshed and invigorated.

OoC: I only have access to my phone right now, so I can’t really assess everyone’s inventory. I’d rather you do it.

Wollipog cast his spell once more as the Phejharan Gold Feather glances around.

<No see herd. Must return.>

MM Note: To be clear, while the spell provides translation, it doesn't grant the creature any additional intelligence.

"Hm, gotta make room. Hang on, I'm always snacky!" Aysu finished up the chicken leg, a little extra protein would never hurt. "and I guess this is pretty naff." Taking out the Laser Phaser it was very shoddy. "Let me just make it useless, don't want anyone using it on us!" Examining the weapon, Aysu attempted to render it inert.

Aysu Engineering Check (DC 1) - (1,5,1) 1 Success

Aysu's experience with scrapping gives her an edge with destroying the firearm as she dismantles its main components. Scarfing down the chicken leg, she finds herself with a light enough pack to gather the remainder loot. With the loot distributed, the rest of the room remained unexplored.

[Duvors]

Enson will surreptitiously check behind the doors.

Enson will surreptitiously check behind the doors.

Enson finds the two larger doors to be locked with electronic locks. The door ahead and to the left is shut with a physical lock. The door ahead and to the right is unlocked and from a peek inside looks to be some sort of laboratory.

[Peppermint_M]

"Hold on boys, just slipping into something a little safer, eh?" Aysu kitted out in the Plasma Chain Shirt, with the armour equipped, she was ready to take on whatever was coming.

"Right, afraid we're not getting very far with this creature thing. Let's leave it here for now and maybe find someone to help it out later."

Jonk tries the silver key on the physical lock.

Jonk attempts to gain access via his lockpicking tools, but the mechanism proves quite difficult and the Celestial fears he may even break his equipment in the attempt.

[Scubacarrot]

"Hmm so uhh, Enson, was there an open door? This one is quite locked. Quite. Probably means there is something good behind it, but we need to keep looking for those two dwarves."

[Peppermint_M]

"Maybe if we listen at the doors, we could hear if anyone interesting, or to avoid, is behind it?"

Aysu Perception Check (DC 1,3,5) - (3,4,5) 2 Successes

There is no sound from behind the door with the physical lock. The two steel electronically locked doors have a slight rattling behind them, but nothing discernable. Listening at the unlocked door, Aysu can make out what sounds like snoring.

[Duvors]

“I think we’ve done all we can here. You’re right, we should be going.”

Enson will equip the Plasma Splicer, drop the crude machete, and pick up Felthorn. Having done this, he will attempt to sneak into the laboratory.

[Scubacarrot]

Jonk will also sneak in and hopefully enter stealthily.
