On my own part 4

Carl told me to be alert today. And it was. Going to machineshop i passed the tunnel where the mining drones were busy. The number 4 Elevator was accessible again. I checked the wiring. No issues heren. It only was missing power. Then i heard something coming from the end of the tunnel. I followed the drones. In the light of their torches i could see the access to a different tunnel. The drones were walking through the new opening. I followed. The tunnel was 1 - 3 meters in height. After some time we arrived in a new area. This was the lower mining level. I could see prisoners in HEV suits mining ore. I did not stop but followed the drones. Who started digging again. Very soon they broke through the wall into a natural cave system. I was wondering if anyone knew this would be here. Again it was difficult for me following the drones. The tunnels were very narrow on some points. This went on for a long time until they stopped at a wall. This looked metallic. The drones started drilling the stones and suddenly a panel was visible. It had a green circle. Probably the opening mechanism. Could this be our way out. Without hesitation i pressed the button. The wall opened and i could enter the room. The rocks were replaced with green opal look. This was something different.... As i walked forward i entered a large round room with a tentacle machine in the middle. Carl messaged me: "Find the control room". There were 7 tunnels. Without hesitation i started to check what rooms were behind every tunnel. This was definetely some base of operations. It had a prayer room, machineshop, crew quarters and food processing. Even a little museum. One room had a closed door. In the last room i entered there was someone sitting in a chair opposite a machine. The person did not react to my voice or hand signals. When i touched it's grey gown. It fell down with a puff of dust. It was ancient. I took the gown and found a green ring. I checked the machine. But this was not something to discuss. Probably best to destroy it.
 
With the ring i went back to the closed door. It opened. This was the control room. There was a terminal which activated when i touched it with the ring. Now i received a new update from Carl. I had to attach the circuit to the terminal. This was very easy. Did he know more about this installation ?
Carl showed me a map of the installation. It was something unknown to me. But it looked like a outpost which was abandoned a long time ago. There was a shuttle in the next tunnel. This was our way of this rock. Carl started to charge the batteries. I had to check the ship if it was in working order. Going to the ship i passed a room with some coffins in it which glowed green. Best not to touch them. You never know what is inside. The ship was in good working order. It had room for four persons. Now i had to wait until the batteries were fully charged: 25% at this moment.
 
I decided to check one of the crew quarters where a door was broken down. Maybe there was something valuable there. Going through the rubble i found a red ring. In the corner of my eye there was a safe with a red circle. I pressed the ring on it. It opened the weapon cabinet. I know have four guns. This was looking good. Now to check the machineshop. A lot of equipment was unknown to me. I did find something that could help. Some odd looking device (200 Birr). The batteries of the ship were now 50% charged.
Then Carl told me there was something happening in the prison. Three persons arrived that were looking for me. One of them, a young woman, was killed. The other two: a short guy with big glasses and a woman were imprisoned. This had to be Shamus and Khadyr. I could not leave them behind.
I had to think of something. First i tested the alien weapons. They were still working. But i would do this alone and needed some help..... from the drones. Carl told me he had transfered control of the drones to my Pad. Excellent. Now to arm the drones. One was very difficult, so it had to do the heavy lifting: Codename Mongo. Drone number two could only fire the alien weapon: CodeName Kraber. Drone number three could shoot and do the heavy lifting: Codename Flash.
 
Now to plan the escape. Free Khadyr and Shamus and find three spacesuits.
