((Piecewise: Can we have a map of current Team I disposition? I have a little trouble understanding how far to the center of anomaly it is, and what terrain lies between us and it (do we have to cross the corridor, or is basically in this room, or what). A simple scheme like the one you made for Team II would suffice.

Furthermore, are there floors above us, or just the roof? Are the walls of this building climbable to a human person (without special training or equipment)?))

You are on the second floor, one floor above, one below. And no the walls wouldn't be able to be scaled by a normal person right now.


Green is you guys, red is the frozen people. You blew your way into a hallway and now you've got statues to either side.

Not to scale, obviously, they're actually farther away.

Back up against far wall. Laser a hole in the ceiling, then fly up into it that room. Watch the hallway outside for thermal signatures. Don't let any approach within safety distance.

This plan seems to be working, so let's keep going. If there's time this turn, laser through the roof as well, and fly out of here.

:Hey, still alive over here. Taking the long way out. Seems like they can sense our presence without traditional senses.:

"Everyone move back and dig us an escape route I'll hold them off. MOVE MEN! "
get everyone back, set feed to normal and activate cartographer place minimum perimeter where pancaek stopped. Get people to start digging back into the building,  fire with pawn at statues if they move towards us, Initiate weeping angel plan as dumbo specified

"Let's see if they can fly."

It's space wizard time! Collapse the floor down under the frozen people in between us and dome center, ideally dropping them down the floor below and letting us fly over. I'm not touching the actual people though, only the floor.

Good thinking, Ulrich, although I suspect they can hover. Keep watch on your side of the corridor, and I'll oversee the other one.

Excellent, Hasala. We'll be waiting for you.

Morul, Bartolomew, I want you to check inside
[Another Room] if no heat signatures can be seen, and then inside [Room] as well if they are free from hostile presence. Close the doors and use Bartolomew's laser to make an entrance. I want personal logs, clues, evidence, anything that would help explaining what is going on here. This building was 'hit' earlier than that, it appears, so there might be greater evidence found here - or none at all, though. Retreat and close the door if more "people" are found inside.

Keep watch over the group of "people" opposite from the center of dome.

Team II, what's the situation? We can arrange the extraction, and the camera might really be needed soon. Keep Pancaek under permanent observation, though - leave a person or a camera behind if necessary. And note that since he is not causing cascade of dollification, there might be something odd about him, worth investigation.

That I can see; I want to know your current plan of action and whether you believe you can deal with the situation by yourselves.

"Just set up a watch, for the time being, just staring at them will make them about as lethal as puppies, so two of us can just stare at them, saying when we're gonna blink while the other guy or gal tunnels through this bloody barricade.

Or I wire it up with explosives, either or.

Anyone have heat vision so they can see inside of this place?"
