I wonder if I could use the Talon Gauntlet to pinch the hole closed.

You could try.

Cut out a section of the wall between the two right hand rooms, about 15cm by 15cm. Then cut out another, more like a rod than a square. Wait until the metal cools down enough to touch, then carry them over to the hole in the door. Using the rod as welding material, weld the square over the hole.

Ben lived on a small colony, specialized in mining. Crime was rampant, so Ben took a few self-defense classes. Then he starting buffing up. Like, really buffing up. More than once, he was accused of steroid abuse. His muscles were put to good use in the mines, helping to pay for his family's apartment and food costs, until one day a family member won the Corporate lottery. Ben seemed like the most likely family member to survive whatever dangerous scenarios the Corporation would put him through, so he quit his job in the mines, claimed the "prize", and was soon on his way to the Crossroads.

You get the pieces cut out just fine, but you can't get them in place to weld them: You just don't have enough hands to hold the rod you're melting, the torch and the piece of metal in place. Not to mention you have to hold that piece of metal in place against who knows how much force of water pushing out on it.

"COULD USE A HAND HERE!"

[swordsmith04]

Hand off the Cutting Torch and metal rod to whoever comes to help me (if any), and focus on holding the metal plate in place.

With some effort you both manage to get the thing welded in place. The seal isn't perfect; water is still dribbling out, but you've managed to turn the leak from Fire Hydrant at full blast to garden hose at somewhere around half strength.

Your tools aren't able to so much as scratch the thing, but you newly acquired death stick carves neat little glowing green gashes when scraped along the wall. Well, that's useful. Wonder if it has a "Get me the fuck out of here" function...

Look down stairs.

Since the water doesn't seem to be a huge problem right now, go check out any other rooms in the hallway, filming everything since I don't think I filmed the empty supply rooms earlier. After that, move to the staircase and wait for the others.

The stairs down are unlit and descend down onto a level just below this one. The level below, from what you can see of it's entrance, is much like this one: bare metal walls, harsh artificial light, and a doorway just visible off to the side. There's a sound coming from down there; a sort of mechanical hissclick hissclick hissclick of repeated motion that fails halfway through. The mechanical sound is accompanied by the dull ringing of metal banging against metal.

[swordsmith04]

Ben glanced at the man wielding a rifle, and made an after you motion.

Stun club out, let Tavik Toth's character go down the stairs first, then follow. Try not to make any noise if my companions are being similarly stealthy. Don't go down the stairs if nobody else does.

That'd be damn nice!

Loot every black shard I can find on the bodies near the door. Start going down the hall again. Gouge regular marks into the walls, and feed the murderstick more black shards if I need to. If at any point I can't see the last mark I made, or come across marks, stop.
