No longer on fire, and her body no worse for wear, really, Luxara was quick to move past that. If no one commented on how she made an utter fool of herself, getting bested by a flaming daywalker, she'd be too lucky. So they were moving on now? Cool. She took point for a hot second. "This passage looks good. Definitely different than the last one. Worth a shot, right?"
It didn't sound like anything might be down there, either. Quiet, but not too quiet.

Ardais went ahead, and Eostre let her. But her pathway seemed suspicious. "We'll try another path. Let's move on, team," she said, putting the authority back in her voice as she lead them down another empty passage. No undead, no locked doors... nothing much to be done about that. They'd go into the open room.

In the open room, Eostre scavenged for useful supplies. No more of the... tame, undead gerbils, but what she did find was interesting. Some compressed gas, of some sort. The label, mostly worn, the glue peeling off, seemed to indicate it was once some sort of medical equipment. Probably for if someone's oxygen level got low... If things went badly, it might come in handy. "Guess there's just this? Try not to die, but if you get injured badly we're covered. Let's keep moving, darlings. No time to waste."

Vulpin kept moving, making their way down through the ship, eyes peeled for anything interesting. "So, Diazzi, how's the fancy military life treating you so far?" Vulpin smiled, trying to make conversation with the more wealthy of the two trolls.
Luxara continued ahead, tuning out other conversation. After getting singed, she had somethng to prove. More so than trying to suck up to a military hussy. And Vixeni, well. She still wasn't sure what to make of them. Not that it mattered; she wasn't here to make friends. Sometimes they were a lark, but that was the end of it.
Still, she started to take point a bit as she started to feel...a little suspicious.

So quiet (besides the idle chatter) that one could hear a pin drop. Luxara, in her many sweeps in the hunting grounds, learned to never, ever trust that level of quiet. It never lasted long. A false sense of security. She continued to listen, then halted.
The sounds of her squad, but... She could hear more than two trolls now. Shuffling in the far distance. A mass of it. And it was getting closer.
She turned to her party. "Something's coming." Luxara drew her crossbow in the meantime.

"Daywalkers," Vulpin hissed. They moved quickly, unbothered by the idea of a fight here. They had cleared through plenty of daywalkers before. Plus, they had to impress their team.
Flinging a couple of knives towards the zombies, seven of them dropped to the ground before them. Vulpin clapped, dusting off their hands humorously.
"It's been well, Vix. Got promoted a while back now, but I'm really coming up the ranks, got my own gals beneath me and everything," she commented idly as they walked.
The shuffling approached, and she saw Vixeni go forward, and Ardais with her bow drawn. Time for another fight! Eostre grinned, and went in, swinging and punching the undead creatures. Being so close was a bit uncomfortable, but Eostre was never one to shy away from a fight.

Most of the bodies went down quick. Good thing, because shooting among the swarm proved to be difficult. Keeping track of the dead versus alive got hard after a bit. So much gray blurriness. However, as it started winding down, Luxara got in some pretty rapid shots. Each in daywalkers' heads. As she reloaded, she found that there weren't anymore.
"Seems to be the last of 'em. Probably should stay alert just in case there are any stragglers."

With the undead cleared, Eostre took a breath. They had to move on. She gave them a signal to wait, and scouted ahead, checking the halls. She didn't see much... Now, did they want to go down this way? Eostre made a decision. "We'll keep looking. We want the best, quickest path through this ship," she said decisively.
The quicker they were done, the better.

"If this is the best, I can't imagine how the opposite looks," Ardais commented. She idly adjusted her crossbow strap. "Could be a fun challenge, though. Probably a lot more fires. But you guys could just punch through that, huh? Do they make your hands fire-proof in basic training, LT?"
She kept moving. "Down this hallway seems good. I definitely don't see any smoke. That can only be a good sign, right?"

Vulpin listened closely for signs of life. Well, after-life. There didn't seem to be any hidden doors, or open ones for that matter either. "It's just... empty," they said to their team, a bit disappointed that they couldn't find any new souvenirs. Gross gerbils, shiny things, it didn't matter. Anything was better than nothing. Even the zombies sometimes had a shiny pin or two to pilfer.
Luxara could only shrug at that. "Consider it a quick breather." Not that she was in charge or anything. But she could still give her input. After that, though... Ardais looked at the next few options. A decision to make. "I'll check out down here quick."
With that, she scouted off. She mentally counted out her distance, still knowing that going too far was a bad idea. The hallway soon ended, but, at that end.
Oh s**t. A door. Nice.
She called back to her squad, "Found something!"

An absolute pro by now, it didn't take long for her to assess the door at hand. Once she brought the crew down, Ardais pointed out, "Panel nearby, means it's trapped. We'll have to disarm it first. And, as per usual, it's locked pretty tight."
She assumed it'd be on her to hack in, since that's what she was real good at, but she looked to Eos. "LT? How do you wanna do this?"

"I've had my share of fire-filled fights. Doesn't scare me a bit, Ardais," Eostre said, laughing a little. She gestured with her gloved hands, flourishing a little. "I do wear gloves for a reason though, darling. It makes it easier to handle anything unpleasant."
When they finally came to a door, Eostre tapped on the panel nearby, prying it open. "I can handle this one." She could probably do it in her sleep, and she disarmed the trap easy. Unlocking it, on the other hand. Eostre attempted again to push it open with her shoulders, but met pure resistance. "Guess they're a little sturdier than I expected," she said plainly.
