Nico led the ship into the intact cargo bay, then closed the bay doors behind them and sealed the room with the shields of the Cutter. Now, nothing would be coming in or out, and they wouldn't accidentally contaminate the rest of the ship with their presence.
They might have come from space, but the Cutter was just on the surface of a planet, and having any sort of spores, dirt or other biomatter in the samples would give them completely useless research data as they searched through the World Ship Creeping Night.
"Alright, first things first. We need to get a cleansing station set up so that we can start sending drones through the hallways without contamination. Then we can start on the power link to see how much damage has been done to the vessel's power grid.
I'm sure that Nico and the Innu will love that part of the job, so the rest of you will be with me on the mapping project.
