Wilda, as you reach up to pull the lever you notice that it sits a lot firmer in its original position than you would've thought.

[OOC: Roll against your ST to pull down the lever.]

Wilda gives the lever a solid yank.

You hear a sharp cracking-sound, it almost seems like you've broken something, but you can now see the shallow indentations of a door at the front of the capsule.

[OOC: Anyone may now roll against ST-2 to get the door open.]

Seeing the indentation appear Kilrathi braces his paws on it and pushes.

Although the door initially resists, you're able to force it open.
Outside is the smooth vactrain tube, the space of which is about 10 feet in diameter, and the only sources of light are the horizontal window slits. Thankfully, it has been filled with air, but unfortunately the tube also looks like it stretches on for infinity as you're unable to see an end to it.
It's about a foot-long drop from the capsule to the bottom of the tube, and after that it will probably be a long trek to the nearest exit.

"Creepy. Nowhere to hide or take cover. How thick does that glass look?"

Rechit will hop out and try to look out of the window, and try to use his sonar to estimate how thick it is.

[OOC: The GM rolls against Rechit's Perception.]

The scene outside of the tube looks the same as it did in the capsule. As for the windows, your sonar reveal them to be about two inches thick. However, even if you did manage to break the windows, the vactrain tube itself is elevated several feet from the ground by countless pillars, making it far more dangerous to even attempt to climb down.

"Right. None of us know. So let's start heading down the way of the train. Hopefully we'll find an exit before we starve. Unless either of you have a better idea? " Kilrathi will start strolling down the tube.
