Stormrage was ...stunned being so close to the large human his armored broad-shouldered frame and large hands - and so... forward and aggressively motivated! Like a female mind in a giant male's body, so unlike the more passive Loroi males she had known. The concept excited her. Storm unfamiliar with the gesture returned it with uncertainty...
Stormrage ruefully chided herself, {Mind back on mission Teidar Sezon!}
But she could not resist the unbidden urge to check out his large framed body as he repelled by...
Stormrage was a little annoyed the Sgt Mjr had decided to abandon the ascent just because of a temporary obstacle... THEIR orders from the Torrai had been to secure a entry point to the upper levels not run around the station chasing Umiak corpses! It was a Umiak station ... of course they were going to run into Umiak and likely dead ones if the station had not been abandoned! Nothing she had not done or seen before herself. But as much as she was not under the Sgt Mjr's command structure... neither was he under hers so she let him disregard orders at his whim..as a command rank officer let his superiors deal with it. She had a task to perform.
Pulling her mind back to the task at hand, Stormrage looked up at the bulkhead overhead. She climbed the rappelling cable to the location it was secured and signaled down, "Stormrage here, the Teidar detected no other lifeforms with living minds above or below. Torrai Sunbloom, there is a bulkhead closed in the above shaft. Crimson-Cloud come back up... but more slowly this time tying off at regular intervals. The shaft is longer than was expected before - bring your marine with you. Try not to fall this time."
Switching her Combat Hardsuit's H.U.D. to thermograph optics Stormrage scans the door for its ambient temperature.
Signalling again, "The bulkhead seems to have the same ambient temperature as the rest of the structure... so I'm going to assume there is still pressure and not the cold vacuum of space on the other side of it, but brace yourselves on my mark when I crack it open."
Stormrage moves to an advantageous location securing herself next to the motor servos that actuate the door. Gathering her will for the electrokinetic effort it will that to open the the bulkhead doors without damaging the mechanisms... hopefully.
Crimson-Cloud says to the Knifebearer, "I'm fine, now sister. My... thanks. I'll try again..."
Her words are cryptic and curt her pride bruised at her previous failure. She turns to the Marine and gestures him over to do the ascent again and scowls at his obvious fearful expression. She does not wait snatching him up with TK and levitating herself up the shaft some 15 meters before pausing to secure a tether line to the wall. The marine cries out shortly but stifles any rebuke when he sees that she pauses and secures a line to hang from and rest briefly with the marine hanging next to her. Again after a few seconds pause... Crimson -cloud levitates herself 15 meters and secures herself, then levitates the marine again. The process repeating 5 times as they make their ascent. Getting use to the pattern the Marine readying his rifle covering their ascent.
Stormrage waits until Crimson-Cloud and her marine ascend her cable. Storm assists them to secure the second repelling line and themselves for Storm's opening the Bulkhead door. Crimson-Cloud is silent ...her embarrassment at falling evident in the proud Teidar. Crimson-Cloud and the Marine ready weapons to cover the bulkhead for its imminent opening.
Gathering her will Stormrage concentrates, and turns her amplifier 'off'...
Electrical arcs begin to flash across Storm's body as she draws on the electrical powerlines of the station imposing her will upon the very powerplant of the station and forcefully drawing current from the main reactor arching power around her to obey her command in a nimbus of electrical power. Not wanting to just force power externally into the electrical system and potentially 'fry' the motors after her efforts Storm uses the normal power line of the electrical system of the station to perform her task...slower .. but less destructive.
Stormrage signals,"On my mark bulk-head opening, 3-2-1, mark!"
Stormrage triggers the door servos to open.

Stormrage signals, "Elevator located seems to have been holed through for access to upper levels. Torrai Sunbloom, We are securing the elevator and the upper lift room."
Always one to be the first in... and last out, Stormrage levitates the short distance through the whole in the elevator platform floor LazAssault in hand and ready she lands and moves to the side allowing Crimson-Cloud and her marine to in-turn through the hole weapons ready.
Pausing they scan around ready for hostiles. Stormrage gestures to the Marine to secure both Crimson-Cloud's line and hers while they keep the elevator doors covered with Loroi LazAssaults.
Stormrage signals, "We have secured the elevator... securing repelling lines and holding position as per orders. Any new orders Torrai Sorimi Sunbloom?"
