Stop me if you've heard the news already.

At the mid-month mark, I have a small team* flying down to the Kamchatka Peninsula to reclaim the deserted submarine base town of Bechevinka. The estimated capacity would be just shy of 900, above and below ground combined, if all the buildings are deemed viable by our resident architect. There've been long-time rumors of submarines being left down there after the Cold War ended, and I'm hoping that holds true. We could use more active vessels.

Wish them happy hunting.

ENGINEERING + DOM.

Recommendations for getting through thick metal bunker doors? Would a blowtorch get through the locking mechanisms?

TEAM KAMCHATKA.

With all of my chest, it is my sacred duty as mission lead to advise the following things:

Do not pet the sea lions. If you go in the water, be careful of any rusted wreckage. We don't have any tetanus shots on board.
If it's brown, lay down.
Listen to Dom. He'll be your lead on the ground.
Dom, listen to Nadine or Ishaan is going to push me off the ship.

[...] RONEN.

When do you want Alonzo back?

ADRI & PHILIP.

I need to confess something. [....] It's about Jamie.

(*ooc note: all relevant leadership were off-screen alerted to these volunteers this morning! they are delilah, apollo, jamie, and sloane. ishaan already knows.)

Depends how thick we are talking. Just the locking mechanism, probably.

Not sure, but it was a military base and they had civilians in town. I imagine it's not something you can use a magnet to get open.

No, definitely not. Without specifics, your best bet is likely to break the mechanism. You just don't want it to lock in place.

I'll be on comms up here, but if they have any issues getting in, I'll call down to Engineering. If you and the team could outfit them with some standard equipment, I'd appreciate that.
