"Copy that, boss." Cayne replied as he stepped into the derelict shuttle bay with [i]Pathfinder[/i] close behind. With his first step onto the abandoned vessel, he quickly came to the realization that there was no sense of weightlessness and his boots were not automatically magnetizing, "Huh...Artificial gravity is still online..."

With each step he took, he could almost hear the hard metal surface creak and echo through his body suit. It was clear this ship was rotting away due to absolutely no maintenance either by a mortal crewman or an automated service droid. However, there was still plenty of reserve power given the dim and flickering lights. Just what had happened here? Given a fly by from the outside, the vessel seemed clearly dated but showed no signs of external damage. Cayne surmised a system failure may have been the result of its abandonment; unfortunately there was little to go off of.

Scanning the area, it appeared the shuttle bay was roughly fifty meters wide, divided into detailed sectors as if the facility supported a compliment of small spacecraft. Looking up, Cayne could further identify the maintenance catwalks above comprised of retracted mechanical arms and cranes that appeared responsible in servicing the craft. Interestingly however, the bay was void of any other ships not counting the dropship they arrived in; Cayne pondered further what that could have meant.

"Doesn't look like life support is active..." he commented, noting the extremely poor environmental survey on his HUD as he pushed ahead through the minor haze of dust particles, utilizing the newly enhanced sensors on his helmet to light up the shadowed sections in of the facility in his visual feed so he and everyone could navigate forward confidently, "...What ship has artificial gravity mostly functional and not life support?"

While scouting and having [i]PathFinder[/i] map out the shuttle bay further, Cayne eventually reached a raised platform at the other side of the area, supported by structural beams and a rising flight of wide steps. Having his sensors make sense of the structure, he could confirm an open spaced control center overlooking the hanger was built in with the platform. From where he was standing, he could see a strong static light source emanating from the view ports of the tower. 

"Think I got an active device up there. Moving in to investigate..." 

Minding the amount of weight placed on each footstep, he walked upwards cautiously with his rifle trained ahead, scope flipped-down and red-dot sights readied given the range before him. Making up to the floor of the platform, Cayne could see the light source had been originating from a still live terminal, it's screen was fluctuating but its UI appeared to be mostly intact. At this point, he really began to think if the ship's entire system had really gone hay-wired since some of the functions that were active defied operational protocol. Granted, he was no ship expert himself and should obviously leave that debate to Maxwel but the building evidence was becoming more clear.

"This computer seems partially functional..." Cayne said aloud as he reached out to attempt to manipulate it but remembered what the Santerian had advised before hand. He then pulled out the W.H.D. and readied it, "Yamash, think this is something you can look at?"

While waiting for a reply, Cayne was then advised by an attention grabbing ping by [i]Pathfinder[/i]. He turned to face his drone and came upon a small corridor with a slightly opened automated slide door at the very end, a few lit nodes on the door hinted the seal release was at least receiving power. [i]Pathfinder[/i] had lit up the find with it's search lights and from what Cayne could see, the narrow gap vaguely detailed a larger hallway on the other side. 

"I think I found our way further into the ship but the doors seemed stuck in place. Looks like we could pry them open though this door is still getting power however." he reported.
