Zero and Dez peek around the corner as the door slides open.
The fist thing they see is the back of a guard who is crouched in a defensive position, blaster raised and ready. He is not looking at them at all, his attention is focussed on something away from them.
Beyond him is a massive chamber, with several guards patrolling the edge of a gigantic hole. There is a floating platform in the center of the hole, about 20' lower than the floor of the rim of the pit, where technicians in some sort of environmental suits work on some sort of equipment. Beneath the platform, the pit crackles with energy. Some sort of controlled reaction is sending a beam of energy up into the bottom of the platform, or maybe the platform is firing a beam of energy into the pit, it is hard to tell.
Zero knows this to be the reactor that powers the station. The pit is shielded, so the rim is safe, but inside the shield the radiation is intense.
There are another two guards across the room, adjacent to the doors that lead to the tunnels that in turn lead to to landing platform delta, Holon's secet, personal landing pad. Secret that is from the regular base inhabitants, but not to anyone that knows the ins and outs of base security.
