Gonna be honest with you, all the evidence I've got for that headcount is a list of names, but none of these other lists have let me down so far. Better safe than mass murdering.
It looks like some kind of greenhouse. I couldn't tell you what drew them there. It doesn't appear to be related to the oxygen cycling on board, so if these guys are some kind of locust, I can't say if that would be a tangible loss. If you lock them down and they bug out, maybe we'll get a better idea of why they're there. Or we could try asking.
I can see where all of you are. Are your deserters going to be a problem? You're the only one with control of those shield systems from there--we're trying our best, but we're locked out of most systems from here. If you're messing with anything and aren't leaving a man behind, plan to live with it. Do you want to see how these guys react? I can also, uh, suffocate them a little, if you want.
Green room, greenhouse. Wow. Okay, yeah- that's...weird. Hey- had a thought, but if they bug out upon discovering being locked down, anything we can do about possible communications going out? I'm assuming they have contact with their ships.
...although suffocation might also put a stop to that. Might disappoint some of the guys here. Man, and I thought I was itching for a fight!
I don't have a definitive answer for you on that one, either, but I can tell you that my instinct is that they don't have their own communication link, or at least not one I'd know how to interfere with. The only networks I'm reading in the area are this one and the ship's internals. If they're talking, we might be up against telepathy or a hivemind anyway.
I wouldn't be that greedy. I could probably still leave them able to swing a punch. Just freak 'em out, you know.
Oh, fun. Eh well, can't expect it to be too easy, right?
Alrighty. I think we're... Planning a party. Rogers seems set on alarms and lighting the place up- non-explosively. Force fields, definitely a go. We'll flip on the external shields too.
Heh. How about we hold off on that one until we get closer to there and see what these guys are about? Then we'll talk spooking 'em.
If I might posit something. At the moment it does not seem that the boarders other than yourselves are aware of your presence. Would alarms not give them some hint of a change in status quo and betray increased activity on board?
All right, okay. But look, you all gotta be good influences for all the kiddies over there with you. Also, we are trusting you all to be our eyes where we aren't.
Don't worry Mini. Tell him to hold the fort while I'm gone. He's in charge. Don't let it get to his head.

...
Never mind.
Anyway, he's checking with the other group first before we start hitting those buttons.
[Voice] (look, grumpy tech support is here!)
[Voice] Oh joy!
I think Rogers is chatting up the other team. Alarms are getting a no, so we should be good on that end.
Also hey Reeve! You guys all behaving on that end?
Re: [Voice] Oh joy!
[Which can easily be taken as a 'no'.]
[Voice]
Be nice over there, we're gonna probably need all hands on deck. Also give Mini a fistbump for me.
Re: [Voice]
Also, Mini would like you to be safe.
[Voice]

[Voice]
His head is full of stuffing.
[Does he mean Reeve or Mini? A riddle.]
[Voice]
Yes, Cayde. He says he won't let you down.
[Voice]
-That's what I like to hear.
Anyway! Let me know if anything comes up. Will try doing the same.
