"Hey Mark, want to get this door open?" she asked, "Any good stuff is probably in the actual apartments."

Mark looked at the apartment door, then back at Velia.

“Sure. Why not...”

He stepped forward again, slinging the carbine to free both hands. The cutter was still warm from the last door so he didn’t bother putting it away. One twist of the multitool and the plasma tip came back with a low whine.

“Eyes away again.”

This lock wasn’t as stubborn. The plate hissed, sparked, then gave with a sharp pop after a few seconds. Mark wedged his biomechanical hand against the edge and shoved until the door opened inward. He quickly switched from the cutter back to his weapon and aimed it inside, making sure the room was clear of immediate hostiles.

Part of him still wanted to walk right back to the shuttle. But he caught himself leaning in anyway, trying to see past the doorway before stepping through. Curiosity was getting its hooks in him too, apparently, same as Velia.

“Alright. Let’s see what the ghosts left behind.”
