With the Protector in orbit it was time to get to work... The groups was sitting in their usual conference area to discuss the recent turn of events. In some ways, things could have been worse ... they could have been blown to atoms. Caimlyn and the others were definitely going to have a great deal of a challenge to get to their people planetside. "Boss, are we allowed to go planetside at all?" While Michael waited for the decision, he turned to Maggie. "Let's get a visual on that city garrison," he said. "And then, since they couldn't tell we were scanning them before, let's try it again. Quick scans first of the garrison, then later, if they don't bitch, more detailed scans. Let's find out people, and let's learn the layout of the place." Maggie nodded. "On it," she told him. > The screen flashed, then displayed the garrison. It was located just north of the central portion, as if the city was once much smaller, and grew to encircle it long ago. The compound was actually quite simple in it's lay out. An octagonal walled compound with watch towers at every point. There were three gates, a main on the north side and two others on the southeast and south west sides. Outside of the main gate sported guard "shacks" on either side of the gate to house on duty sentries. Estimating on the size of them, they could house about 10 soldiers a piece. The other gates had similar structures, but much smaller. Inside the walls, stood a single building that was in the shape of three diamonds joined together. (OOC: think the Mitsubishi logo, with a larger joined area.) The entire exterior of the complex was made of stone, thick stone. It was quite impressive looking, yet some how less than modern. From the hurried scan, the garrison was manned by roughly 1200. Above ground the main building was 5 stories tall and extended another 4 below ground. It appeared as if the cell blocks were on the lowest level, but just who was in it was not determined. Metal alloys were also detected on the inside, and in the gate doors make up. The complex was powered by both solar plant inside the compound and a reactor beneith. Steven studied the scans carefully, formulating questions at the same time. [OOC: Retconning. Apologies for making a mistake here... Thank you GM-Salmi for correcting me. anyway... CORRECTION!] "Is there any way for us to locate the South Hampton's crew? And will we be able to get them out if we do manage to locate them?" [responses?] Afterwards, he turned to Watson. "Mr. Watson, as our group's Ramesar expert, I'm wondering if you might have some insight on how they fight, as well as what sort of state of mind they may have regarding such things. Would they be the sort to fight first and sort things out later, or is there a way to talk to them before they try to blow us out of the sky?" [reaction?] Liridian out. The Truth is Out There.
