The countdown went by without much fanfare, and nothing more than their idle chit-chat, giving way to the final engaging of the door mechanisms. the door, suddenly, made a large clunking noise, followed by some other somewhat eerie, nearly echoing mechanical noises, although they were felt as vibrations through the suit rather than actual sounds. After a moment, the mechanical vibrations changed, to a more solid humming, as all the locks had disengaged, and now the hydraulic motors that operated the doors began to function. Systems status displayed in front of each Ventriss and Raffaele, giving them a display of the rate of speed for each motor as well as each side of the hatch as it opened. The Minkan's display read a rate of 1% opening per second, while the Small Nepleslian's rate of opening was a little faster at 1.2%. while it wasn't a huge difference, if it wasn't dealt with it could potentially cause the door to bind on its way down.
"How's everything looking in there?" Trey asked, as he guided his large generator toward the now slowly opening hatch. judging by the current rate of opening, it would just barely make it within the 3 minute window with maybe a minute to spare if any issues arose that weren't dealt with.
