[Backdated to shortly after the Daitarn finale]
Thanks to our recent operation on Mars, a discovery was made - one of the Wulgaru ships crashed into the planet, most likely during Battle of Ceres. It didn't self-destruct like others, which means we can grab whatever data is in its stores, hopefully something useful like the location of the gate Wulgaru are using to invade the Earth Sphere from.
It's our mission to gain access to the ship's main computer before it disintegrates. Also? Teoria's assistant Daneel is coming.
[1 - combat prompt]
Approach to the wreck is easy, but the ship itself is not unguarded. A group of Wulgaru humanoid fighters is walking and flying around it - they seem confused and mostly aimless, but still they have to be destroyed or at least occupied so the infiltration party can get in.
A sandstorm is coming, and on Mars those things get HUGE. You have to act quickly!
[2 - all in one thread please]
While the fight is going on outside, the infiltration team gets into the ship on foot.
"The corridor seems stable. Good, follow me to the bridge."
As promised Daneel is with you, wearing a space suit. There is no atmosphere here so hopefully everyone brought one! From the inside, the ship is rather organic looking, with cell-like walls and hexagons everywhere. Be careful - there are signs of decay and parts of the ship may collapse under careless feet.
Also: the ship is manned. Or rather, was. Humanoid corpses wearing concealing full body suits are strewn through the corridors.

[Izuru checks on his futuristic beam pistol. This is a chance to play space commando - but as soon as he notices the bodies and the sorry shape of the ship in general, he realizes it's not playtime at all.]

Mass Effect gunbeam pistol at ready in case anyone is still alive. But that turns out to be not necessary. He looks at the bodies.]These guys. Are they...

Wow... its really a mess in here...
Do you think they use terminals like we do?

Teoria's words do seem to strike a chord with her, though]
...that's just horrible. Bred en masse, and for being nothing more than cannon fodder.
Who would do something like that?

Daneel passes by the corpses, not paying them much attention once it's clear they are all dead.
"The bridge will have a command console, but only individuals with specifically modified DNA can operate it. This is why I am here."

How is the exploration coming along? We're holding position, but the storm is rapidly approaching and we're not equipped for prolonged operation in conditions like that.

But that's what people like us are for. To make things right.

[Izuru quickly advances forward, perhaps one could even say - recklessly so!]

Izuru! Wait! Let me go first! [Ashe goes right after him, overtaking him quickly. Model A can definitely take more punishment than flimsy space suits! She's going to dash forward a bit to check the immediately nearby area quickly - they're on a clock here]
From:
no subject
Indeed, the floor starts to give under the trailblazers' (which means Izuru and Ashe) steps, and some rubble falls on their heads.

The whole ship rumbles quietly, just for a second.
"The structure won't last much longer, but we're almost there. This way."
Daneel enters a side corridor, and after a small detour everyone is on the bridge. Ashe on the other hand can take the main route which means she's there a minute or two before others.
And indeed, here's a console.

[Asagi proceeds, making sure there are no hostiles. His precautions turn out to be unnecessary.]
Here we are. How long will it take, Daneel-san?
From:
no subject
Daneel puts his hands on the console - and suddenly the seemingly dead terminal lights up, springing back to life!
"I'm looking for it now... there! Accessing data."
Interestingly, his hands and fingers don't move at all.

Get going!
From:

They're disoriented by something! Is it the sandstorm?
From:

[Another drone that charges gets knee-beamed to pieces as AGE-1 follows after, trying to line up shots as best it can.]
Too bad we don't have time to stop and check!

I'm moving in!
[Asagi rushes forward towards the ship, firing long machinegun bursts at the Wulgaru. He's getting reckless as usual whenever things go right.]

[Another drone gets its face punched in by Titus's meaty fists. But during all of this, Flit spots something off in the distance. Maybe it was always there, maybe the winds from the sandstorm dislodged it...]

Couldn't we have waited for the weather to pass?!
