"Three-dimensional thinking appears to be increasingly necessary on these missions. I agree that this is likely the best course of action."

[LordPorkins]

"I got enough charges to make it work. Though I warn yah making big platforms is always a little touch-and-go."

[retromach]

It was agreed, and Boiy got to work. Each of you fell softly to the far wall of the elevator shaft. The center of Olympus Mons is now 'down'. From this perspective, your scans show that you're underground, and that above, the land slopes gently down towards this tunnel, coming near to it's roof near the doors, which should open down into the main mining facility.

Kaito would check over his rifle, then nod and bring it up, starting carefully along the elevator shaft. "Nice work Boiy, alright... we've wasted enough time, let's get moving."

Tina walks along, both pistols ready.
"Maybe we should destroy any camera we come across, keep the element of surprise."

[retromach]

There didn't appear to be any cameras inside the elevator shaft.

Ricardo will follow the others. He looks for maintenance routes that path into the ops room as he walks.

Vigil had his left hand weapon strapped to his side, with his pheromone covered knife in that hand, and the scimitar in his right hand, ready to move.

[retromach]

You came up towards the end of the corridor. Ahead, you could see the trench with the ladder reaching a platform with some electronics - likely a way for maintenance personnel to open the door without the car. The shaft doors were closed as you approached.

[zomara0292]

“So, now we open them while having everyone aim down the door. Or we can try to blow it open. Anyone have caustic spray?”

[JaxtalMK2]

"I'd hold off on the explosives. We have maintenance access right here, no need to waste charges." Kaito said, backing off and leveling his aim at the door just in case. "Just keep it simple, pop the door, then if nothing comes charging through we aim down and clear, followed by Boiy helping us flip back inside properly."

[Cynicalwhovian]

"Opening it nonelectronically may be stealthier, depending upon the means. However, I do not have any caustic spray."

[Happy Demon]

[Tina Murdoch]

Tina makes her way over to the panel.
"Either way, they'll know something's up. They'll know when a door is open and closed, and when it's offline."
Tina pulls the lever when enough people are ready.

The doors flung open. Below you, the pit descended three hundred meters. There were pipes along the east wall, and a soda machine on the west, with a drinking fountain another meter further past it on the skematics, and a door just above it, leading to a washroom. The rimwards wall was affixed with lights, and the hubwards was clear, other than the vending machine. About ten meters down there was a narrow catwalk formed by a railing. Beyond it, the all four walls extended outwards into a large chamber, criss-crossed with those same catwalks. The piping on the east wall provided a number of places to sit or stand looking down towards the pit.

Gunfire erupted as the doors opened and people saw you. You heard one of them shouting "They're up the shaft already!" A pair of figures, one laying beneath the underside of the soda machine, and the other seeming to float partway down the rimward wall, opened fire. Taking a moment to mentally correct, you realize that one is laying under some pipes and the other is in cover behind the soda machine.

Roll Commando before any action to see if you get hit. Those of you staying in cover have ten hardness from it, meaning  that you're hit on a 1-20, and can act on a 30+.

Vigil took a second to peak behind his cover, and count the number and positions of enemies, hand cradling his knife before getting ready to toss it at the one farthest away. [commando=44, martial arts= 58]
