((@Remalle Nothing major. We coped with Thomas's problem (he's now in stasis), and moved further along our way to the Lost Citadel; it seems we've just found it. ))
Raise the visor and look at the rope while appearing somewhat dazzled.
Are we supposed to climb it?
With the use of one of my lanterns, check if the spent glowsticks trail continues further along the wall.

[IronyOwl]

"Well... who's first?"

[PyroDesu]

I'll head on up and see what's there. Unless one of you want to go. Camera, please.

Activate my ropelight and hang it on my suit, then climb the rope.

[IronyOwl]

"Alright, but are you sure about taking up one hand while holding a possibly delicate instrument?"

Hand Simus camera, if she's sure.

[Caellath]

"I think the camera should stay. Very hardly you'll see anything anyone going after won't see, and if you for some reason happens to fall, having two hands free is better."

[Nikitian]

Just be careful and try the rope before climbing it. We don't want you break anything, do we? Maurice smiled reassuringly.

[PyroDesu]

Half of my body, including my legs, and one of my arms is a lot tougher to break than normal, but your point is clear.

((Isn't the camera able to be hooked onto the suit?))

[Caellath]

"Well, we'll wait then. Take some of this though, we'll see how tall it is. After you say it is all clear, I'll get Chin and follow up."

Tie ropelight to Simus just in case, or let her use her own. Wait.

[PyroDesu]

I've got some ropelight of my own, remember? Though that is a much better idea than using one of my lanterns. And yeah, good point, the camera can stay.

[IronyOwl]

((Isn't the camera able to be hooked onto the suit?))

((I don't recall anything like that, but I'm not sure.))

[Yoink]

Charro frowned up at the dangling rope, 'hmm'ing thoughtfully before speaking over the comms.
"Are you sure it's even supposed to be going up there? I don't recall Conrad describing the entrance to the citadel."
He shrugged his shoulders as he stooped to check out the sand. "I mean, certainly, whatever lived here could have had wings; but it doesn't hurt to check. Well, not usually, anyway."

>Without leaving the lit area, examine the area around where the rope starts going upwards for any signs of, well, disturbance.
Perhaps the rope was supposed to continue around the wall.

You use a lantern to look around the immediate area, following the wall a little bit further, looking for more glowsticks. You don't find any.

I'll head on up and see what's there. Unless one of you want to go. Camera, please.

You activate your rope light and hand the luminous coil to milno before tying one end to yourself and trying to climb the rope. [str:4] You struggle several meters up the rope, illuminating the vertical path to all those below you as you do. After 4 or so meters you stop, wrap the rope around your leg and rest. Even with mechanical limbs, this isn't easy. You're starting to regret skipping gym to hang out in the library and build robots.

Half of my body, including my legs, and one of my arms is a lot tougher to break than normal, but your point is clear.

((Isn't the camera able to be hooked onto the suit?))

Not this big camera, no.

Perhaps the rope was supposed to continue around the wall.

You look around in the immediate area and, beyond the numerous footprints of your teammates and the scattered handful of spent glowsticks you can't see any evidence that this place has ever had visitors of any kind.

[PyroDesu]

Keep hauling myself up.

[Caellath]

"Well, this may be harder than it looks. I'll go last just in case the rope decides to break when it's my time. I'm a little heavier with this suit and I'll have to carry Chin."

Prepare to catch just in case.

[Orb]

"This is precarious and tedious. Think you can cut us a hole in the wall Faith? Would take awhile, but would be worth it from a tactical standpoint for a retreat"
