Arrivals Lobby
Having a moment to breathe, the group splits up to try and salvage equipment, whilst a few other ones intelligently realise that it's no good grabbing gear if you're locked in here.

A - Try and find a way into the security checkpoint, and open the main doors.

Garth, August, Ivan and Jackie approach the closed door and soon find it's bolts have not been lowered. With brute strength, the four of them easily manage to pull it open. Ivan immediately notices a dead security guard, someone he recognised and knew, possibly - it was hard to tell, the guy's face had been mangled to smithereens. Ivan pulls a pistol from the body's holster. The other three start trying to figure out the console's settings in this room, and find that it has limited enough power to unlock the main doors into the shopping area. Said doors open with a hiss.

B - Rummage through the arrivals room for anything useful.

James, Jack, Ed, Jay and Nathan begin searching through the abandoned cargo crates and bags that litter the lobby. BPRS was a fairly high-traffic destination, so when shit hit the fan there must have been two dozen people waiting in this lobby, who scattered back to their ships as soon as they could - lucky.
James' choice of cargo turns out to be full of cloths, likely for one of the shops. Useless.
Jack finds a flashlight inside a satchel bag, fully powered too.
Ed finds a pouch of flares strapped to a side of a crate.
Jay finds someone's luggage case, including their underwear. Smells like their on-board laundry system had shut down...
Nathan discovers a crate that begins beeping when he opens it. The high pitched whine sets everyone on alert as he backs away from the crate.

C - Risk getting into the maintenance closet for the items.

A lot of the group went to the dangerously sparking maintenance closet, lured by the prospect of the gear inside. Elliot, Persh, Alaina, Alex, Alexeiy, Kane, Kazimov and Murdoch clumped together by the door. One by one, they took turns leaning in and grabbing the first thing they could before leaping back.
Elliot quickly grasps a crowbar, and leaps back safely.
Persh deftly grabs a flashlight before a spark nearly catches him.
Alaina clutches the first-aid kit and whoops with delight.
Alex leans in to get a hold of another crowbar, before leaping back and yelping when a shock from the door sears through him. Landing backwards, dazed, at least he is still holding the crowbar. (-1HP)
Alexeiy ignores fallen Alex, and swiftly takes the multitool.
Kane, in his eagerness to grab the blowtorch kit, places a hand on the door to allow him to reach in further. The shock of the electricity jumps through his system and sends him flying back empty-handed, his hair standing on end. (-1HP)
Seeing his fellow survivor's mistake, Kazimov inches his way into the room until he can grab the heavy blowtorch kit, backing up carefully and flinching every time the door sparked.
With very little left in range of arms reach, Murdoch grabs a hold of something on a higher shelf that he can't see. As he pulls back he catches himself on the door, ZAP! At least he's holding a flashlight for his troubles. (-1HP)

The group rallies at the door to the shopping district, the beeping from the crate that Nathan disturbed grows steadily faster. They run into the dark district and soon hear an explosion behind them. The lobby's doors shutter down with a slam, but if it had triggered an alarm it isn't heard.

The shopping district is dark, only illuminated by the red of the flashing warning lights. Unnecessary areas like this in the station are the first to lose power in an emergency. As the group stalks carefully through the dark, the few members with flashlights try and light the way. Nearly all the shops have their net shutters lowered. Ahead, there is an open-air diner, and there's a horrible fleshy sound coming from it. Behind you, back towards the lobby, you hear a crash. Something definitely moves in the vents back there, it's loud enough to place where it came from, high above you all.

The road splits up ahead where it meets the little open-air diner. To the left leads towards the station's premier restaurant, 'Nebula' - it is nearly pitch black inside, but a flash of light suggests that some sort of light is on. The door to get in, however, is closed. To the right leads into an open area that is the food court proper. Lots of tables, lots of darkness. The stench of death permeates the air as you approach the center of this junction.

B - Head right, to the food court. [Flashlight][Flares]
C - Investigate the little diner. [Weapon][Flashlight][Flares]
