Eliott would look at Aaron.

"You. Take point."

And she points through the door.

Leif follows after Silas in silence, shoulders stiffening.

Yay gymnastic abilities.

Aaron steps out of the doorway and uses his shadow to open up, just in case something's waiting on the other end!

If the coast is clear, he does indeed take point, heading inside.

Nothing stands on the other side of the door except stairs leading downwards!

It looks as though it's a hallway, doors on either side, and next to the stairs the agents came down there is another stairwell leading further down.

Aaron continues to take point, leading the way down the stairs, electroshock pistol in one hand and shadow blast charging up in the other! With the doors to their sides, and the stairwell leading further downwards, he shoots Eliott a look, waiting for her call.

There's too much at stake here for people to just be going off doing their own thing.

Silas slips into the office, scanning with his computer to see if he could track any weird energy readings or tell where the most heat readings were.

"Check the office for anything of use or informational."

It appears that below Silas are the largest energy readings, most likely around the ground floor.

Which is two floors down.

Josh looked like he'd be following Elliot and Aaron, not to mention anybody else with them. Since Aaron had been ordered to take point, Josh decided to bring up the rear, the only other position where his ability would be of any use.

Mike follows Silas into the room and he'd start rummaging through desks for anything that looked important.

Savaak follows behind Eliott and Aaron! She doesn't offer anything, waiting for the next call as she pays attention to their surroundings.

"Check the doors to see if we're in the right area, otherwise I'd go downstairs. Things like teleporters are usually at ground floor or in basements, anyway."

She's taking a guess that it's probably pretty big and heavy. Would be weird to have it up here.

Leif starts to look through everything as well, moving quietly and quickly as she tried to find something important looking.

Mike and Leif start finding financial records and other, not-necessarily-Chthonic-related objects. Many of the papers look like they were simply abandoned halfway through being written.

Any common names on them? Were they written by the same people?

Silas just barely cracks the door, listening for noises before peering out of it sounds clear.

"It's probably down there, yeah, but I'll have a look."

Aaron gestures for people to stay clear of the doorways, and uses shadows to crack open the doors just enough to listen at them and peer inside a little. To save GM's time, if there's nothing of interest, he reports as much, closes the doors and continues leading the group downstairs! He'll keep his senses on full alert for any signs of trouble, be it sight, sound or smell.

There's a common name of what looks to be the warehouse manager!

Silas hears nothing but the steady hum of electric power. When he looks outside the doorway, there's nothing but empty hallway in either direction, though there are stairs to the side.

Stairs that Aaron is in the process of heading towards, as there was nothing of interest in the room he checked!

Silas waves on Leif and Mike to follow him to the stairs, where he'd check the stairwell! On the way, he checks the ventilation system, seeing if he can physically see it or dig up blueprints to the facility to see if they went throughout the building.

Leif reads over the name again, memorizing it, before turning and leaving everything exactly how she found it.

She jogs after Silas, fiddling with her electricity to have it prepared. She remained silent.

Since Aaron's got the door thing down, Savaak remains on alert, listening for signs of anything changing or of other people.

Aaron gives Silas, Leif and Mike a nod once they're in view, but his focus is on the job. So he stays on point, stairing into the abyss leading the way downstairs and keeping alert for anything of interest he might notice!

There's certainly a ventilation system, Silas sees!

Leif memorizes the name!

Heading down another flight of stairs reveals a similar hallway to the last, though at the far end there appears to be two guards armed with rifles, looking away at the moment.

"Hold up," Aaron whispers, voice tense. "We've got two guards. Sneak by or take them down?"

He doesn't want to kill them, and fighting them at all might scuttle this whole "get in quietly" plan and stir up the hornets' nest, but it's also a question of if they'll have a choice. Those guards won't be looking away forever.

Are they on or near the ground floor yet?

((Is everyone at the same staircase? I thought we were separate from the roof crew.))
