Station
Location 1
Three pretty awkward looking aliens had hobbled slowly towards an area where they could watch the goings on near the tank, but the area wasn't very accessible to them given the raised platform the tank was on and its surrounding fixtures. The aliens were quiet and the only movement visible from them were from the long leafy protrusions on their eyebrow areas, that moved and quivered slightly as they watched the team work, then zoom away. Eden had trained her forearm on the aliens, but hadn't made any orders to shoot, nor was doing so herself. When the tank was unplugged, the aliens began waving their arms, which had draping and folds as if made of long cloth, but seemed to be a part of their bodies. No words came from them and Eden watched with a sharp concentration. The blueish green color of the liquid in the tank immediately turned dingy and drab while the bubbling ceased immediately.
A few seconds after Alastair and his group moved away from the tank, an alien much like those onlookers came out from behind a curtained section of the stage area the tank was on and bent towards the plug. The onlookers had begun waving their arms more frantically, but the other alien was steadfast in his work and only looked up to them after he had plugged in the socket, a millisecond before sparks began flying out of the plug, followed by a cloud of grey smoke, which was then immediately followed by a bright explosion that knocked the alien backwards. Black smoke emanated from the plug and Eden spoke quickly, noting no alarms had been sounded and that the alien was clutching their slightly burnt front parts, alone by the tank.
"Let's get a medic and a cornflower down there," she said as she lowered her forearm. She looked to the panel and Wyatt, then spoke to Hoshi quickly before reinstating speech to her team, "Not a clean sweep, but close. Move out to Location 2, there's more to be done." She switched comms as she backtracked along the bridges and catwalks and down the stairs with her team.
"Apparently old dogs can learn new tricks," Eden said to Alastair in private comms, "just remember the cost of some tricks next time, Chui. Your plan necessitated injury to a civilian. Avoid that."
She was soon out of the building and jogging to Location 1 in stealth. She noticed the fake sky above was showing a bright sunny day. A few clouds wafted lazily about as she popped up a visual of the medic and infantry member meant to protect them while they worked, as well as a few other team members, on her HUD. The second location was an odd, pillow-shaped building made of dark metal panels that was about 100 by 50 meters. Its entrance was a large series of steps up to a large circular opening. There were a great deal of figures entering or waiting to enter the cushiony construct of a building that looked like Lorr-folk to Eden's eyes. The blob-like architecture was topped with a few cylindrical, jutting extremities on its top that Eden could see from the ground a distance away. She hopped into the air and quickly flew to gain a vantage point.
"We'll get an advantage of height again by going through those openings. They seem to be like porthole skylights, so we'll have to stealth when we enter in case we become visible to those inside. Those closest to my location, form a breach team like we did for Location 1," Eden said, finishing just as she sidled next to the porthole window nearest her position and looked in the window quickly, "It's clear. Breach."

"Chusa Taiyou to Away Team 2, immediate deployment is on the schedule for your team. You will be needing to cut into the hull near Location 1, due to your armors' sizes and Away Team 1 being unable to secure the timed opening of shuttle bay doors on the station. Safe journeys."
