They were given suits and led out across the landing pad to the old carrier, and then through the same airlock the boarding team had used the day before.
Inside, the ship was still dark and quiet, but the boarding teams had set up portable lights along the corridors, and the dust had been disturbed enough by their passage that it no longer hung so thickly in the air.
They were taken through several sections of the ship one after another. There were the empty crew quarters, the bunks now cleared of their remains, and the cramped galley with its outdated equipment.
They passed through the bridge, where Jason lingered over the old control panels with obvious fascination until Lorna gently moved him along, and through long cargo corridors lined with sealed containers that the boarding teams had not yet opened.
Eventually, they reached a set of large double doors near the rear of the ship.
