[With Oliver on level 15 and the Doctor around the Enviro-Dome, Ryuuko has taken it upon herself to search the lower levels. She's skipped over a few levels, though, in favour of checking a little closer to where blast marks become apparent on the ship

[Orion slowly makes his way to her location, pausing at the security station desk to look around a moment or two before meeting her at the cells] Any one in particular, or was it all of them?

[savetheliving]

[She waves the scanner around a little and brings it into the cells she'd already broken into. The bleep remains unbroken]

Looks like all of them.

[cruciblemods]

Alright.

[at least he doesn't complain. he begins to methodically work his way through them one by one. a few here and there do have things hidden in the walls or floors, but as time passes he doesn't turn anything up]

[savetheliving]

[Since he's busy, she goes off to look through the other cells. If he happens to turn around, don't be too panicked at seeing the glowing blue bow she's using to force the cells open.]

[he does do something of a double-take, but keeps his silence as he continues the search. he's not about to pry into their lives, as curious as he might be.

besides, he's distracted by the search, which continues without results] There are a few extra power relays hidden in the walls here, but nothing we're looking for.

[savetheliving]

Alright.

[She's walking by the front desk at the security station by this point, still checking things over with the scanner. It starts whining again.]

If you're still feeling up for it, there's something here as well.

[cruciblemods]

It's not a problem. [he follows after her despite the tiredness in his expression. he's not about to let a little exhaustion stop him.

he leans over the desk, brows furrowing at the condition of the surface, but traces it with his fingers just the same. after a second, a bright blue line appears, outlining a panel, little more than a screen with numbers and letters below it. he taps in a command and--

he stops dead. his eyes go wide]

This is it. This is the backup.

[suddenly he's moving twice as fast, hands flying over the little keypad]

Let me see if I can reroute control--

[but he's interrupted]
