[ today ichiban is at the enrichment concourse! specifically, he's checking out the fucked up looking security panel, arms crossed as he studies it from below. when he notices he's got company, he turns to the side as he plays with a bottle opener, a twinkle in his eye. ]
Yo, wanna help me see if we can wrench this thing open?
[HEWWO ICHIBAN. Luke comes over, hands on his hips as he peers up at it.]
Definitely. [He noticed it immediately but left it alone while the NPCs were around and visiting. Now, though... well, they're still being observed, but. Hey. New crew member grace period, right?] Do you have a plan on getting up there?
[I'm sure this can only go well and will get them positive results]
Alright! [Honestly it's fine even if Ichiban does, Luke can land on his feet.] I'll give it a shot with the multitool they gave us first--we can try something else if it doesn't work.
[ in a similar vein, ichiban gives off vibes that this is far from the first time he's hoisted someone up on his shoulders. he's got a pretty solid core as he grabs onto luke's ankles, making sure to stand as straight as possible to give luke the most reach. ]
It looks like it might just be the gate for this area...? Like the one that locked us in the other room. [But, hmmm. Why is it stuck, then?] I don't suppose you see any control around, do you?
[ imagine ichiban just spikes luke down like he's a football and he's just scored a touchdown. but no, he is nice and lets luke down gently, then lifts him back up once they're positioned accordingly under the control panel. ]
[HE SHOULD HAVE. Also I'm pretty sure?? The panel is just on the wall so he doesn't need to be lifted, they can just inspect it together. Luke will try his multitool on it!!]
Someone did a number on this thing... did they break it on purpose?
[ bro you think i can read in this hobby? ichiban will poke at the other side of the panel from luke and unfortunately 14 means it doesn't blow up in his face. stop giving me good rolls!!! ]
Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Like, the rest of the ship is pristine as can be, but then you've got this one little area that's all busted...
I wonder if someone has a temper. [Which senior crew member had a tantrum...] Or if something else happened.
[Since it seems like this is just the gate between the concourse and the bar, so it's not like it's blocking anything off; if that were the case, he'd be a lot more suspicious.]
[He's still investigating, at least; with a little thought, he gets to work with the multi-tool, trying delicately to get past the coverings and take a look at the wiring. He grunts in acknowledgment, half-distracted, but he shakes his head.]
It wasn't dumb. You're looking for answers, just like I am. Even a dead end is an answer.

Heh, I can give you a lift. Swear I won't drop you!

[LIFT HIM]

Sounds like a plan—I got a couple of bottle openers from the shop we got access to this morning, too, so we can use those as backup.
[ here he stoops down so that luke can climb atop his shoulders! ]
Ready when you are!

[This is so stupid. But Luke will get onto his shoulders!! He's pretty steady--he's definitely done something like this before.
Once he's sure he's stable--]
Alright, go ahead.

How's it looking up there?
no subject
It's really jammed. [FIDDLING... FIDDLING...] I think we'd need a winch or something.
no subject
Tch... that just makes me want to find out what's in there even more!
[ they will be the first to die in a horror movie ]

I dunno, maybe that totally-not-suspiciously-loose-panel right over there?
no subject
Let's check it out! We're not getting anywhere with this.
no subject
You wanna get down first?
no subject
[He'll wait for Ichiban to crouch down so he can jump off safely, as funny as it would be to cannonball onto the floor from six feet up]
no subject
Any luck this time around?

Y'know, usually people hesitate at least a little when I suggest something dumb, but you just went for it. It's kinda refreshing.
