Who is the real adult?

My boyfriend shares some of the information he overheard in the galley. How does he manage to get people to just talk to him and share all of those details. Maybe they were planning to kill them? Or change them?? Anyway, we start looking around to see if we can find a map to see if we can find where they are planning to do whatever they are planning to do. I am able to use my tri comm to show our surroundings visually, but I run into some encryption. I manage to unlock at least one level.
 
It leads to another map with a maintenance diagram which shows that the freight elevator and maintenance hatch both lead to a sub-level that is about five floors below us. Feral is a bit worried about oxygen levels, but I convince her it will be fine. I suggest that since both places seem to end up at the same spot, the guys go on the elevator and we take the hatch down. After all, they are supposed to be here and we are not. We see them head off and Feral, Tank, and I head down the maintenance shaft - think turbolift. It is good for a while, but then there are windows. I love the view, Tank is confused, but Feral is trying very hard to be mature and NOT freak out. After a while, we can see domed buildings below - an underwater base. We appear to be heading for the one on the SW corner of the underground mesa. We get to a hatch on top of one of the domes. I crack the code on the door and ask Tank to lead the way, but Feral bounces out and lands on the sentinel.
 
And there in all her glory is Dr. Joara Zarn-Del. I land lightly on the floor and walk over to the console across from her, laying my tri-comm down on top. While I engage her in witty banter, I do my best to figure out what she is up to here and the best way to sabotage it. She laughs and her fingers start flying across the keyboard as she suggests that I need a quiet place to breathe. I sense movement above me and I dodge to the side as a column slams into the floor where I was and fills with a green mist. Sadly, my tri comm and the one that Feral had snagged from the sentinel are locked inside. We will just say they are being kept safe for a later pick-up. I roll to my feet and move closer to Dr. Zarn-Del - and the tech.
 
Suddenly Feral bounds into the bad doctor and bounces her back from the console. The Dr. ignores Feral and continues to talk smack to me. Then she pulls on a gauntlet and fires a beam of energy at me which gives me a massive headache. I do recognize it. A flexion bracer, a device that initially was used to help people on Krypton. Now it only causes pain - which does seem to be the only real purpose these people have. Then I see the field tech grab a device - looks like a mini tri comm - and fire at me. I dodge that and the blast splashes against the tube that came out of the ceiling. I am thankful that the tube does not crack as I am sure we don't want that green gas in the same room with us.
 
I continue moving towards Dr. Joara, taunting her and trying to get her to attack me. One, to wear her out and force her to use a lot of energy in fighting while I use the strength of the willow to flow around her punches and deflect her hits. I get close enough that I am sure I can grab that gauntlet from her. I manage to snap open the catch and slip it off her and into my pouch with the other tools. I do not take the time to investigate it right now - bigger fish to fry - but I do want to check out the modifications made to see if some beneficial use can be made of the scientific progress. She manages to sweep my legs from under me and I fall to the ground. Don is suddenly there and manages to knock her back some. Just as suddenly she clicks a few buttons and Don is stuck in a force field! She pulls out a mini tri comm too so I walk over and take that away from her too!
 
Suddenly, there are four people that walk in through a water lock - AIM mercenaries!
