Rayla was curious, of course, but also ready. Having found something in that box that was a good enough blade to use for this sort of thing, she waited for them to dock.
Oh, Raphael could so relate to that. Waiting was difficult, but there were times when there was nothing else one could do, especially if the payoff was big.
"So how're you at stealth? 'cuz we're gonna go in super stealthy, scope things out and see what we can do about them not targeting the Agrii ship. Aaand if we run into trouble, well, you look like you know your way around a fight."
Billy doesn't like leaving the rest of them back there, but he knows if things go sour he should be able to keep them safe. His magic's more or less behaving since the pulse knocked them out.
"Feel like one of those guns probably would have come in handy for something like this. Not that I have any experience with that kind of stuff."
"If you've got other things you're good at, might be better to stick to that instead. We don't know what we're gonna run into, in there," Raphael says as he pulls the ship in.
"All right, so far, so good. Locking in." He goes quiet for a moment, holding his breath in hopes that nothing screws up or they get noticed at the last minute. The ship reverberates faintly as it docks, and the turtle teen finally exhales a sigh.
"Okay, that was the easy part." He grins at the other two. "Ready?"
After a quick check of his usual equipment, he opens the hatch and cautiously steps out.
"Moonshadow elves are known for stealth. We make great assassins." She readied her blades, listening to the other two talk about guns and skills. Rayla didn't know anything about guns, but she did know blades, and had a pair with her now, one in each hands. It was the closest she could get to her own, and these were fixed in their current shape, so it would have to do. "The only thing that would be better right now was if I could get my invisibility, but I don't think that's going to work without being near a moon." She really wasn't sure about the effects of that weird blast thing, either, so she didn't want to risk it. Time to lean more on her practical abilities.
As Raphael asked them if they were ready, she nodded, then cautiously followed him out once the hatch was open.
An elf assassin and a magical boy. Sounded like he was in good company. Or another LARP party. "Going full stealth is practically being invisible anyway. Or at least that's the point."
Raphael glanced back at Billy, blinking as he did...something. "Whoa, for real? We're invisible?" He was never too crazy about magic, and he wasn't so sure if he completely trusted being invisible, but he wasn't going to turn down any possible advantages they had.
There didn't seem to be many options for where to proceed further. A single doorway lay adjacent from their ship. Raphael slunk towards it, considering it before trying a button on a console beside it. "...huh, locked. That's not good. You think they know we're here?" he muttered, his fingers trying to find an edge to grab, and not with much luck.
Rayla wasn't sure she trusted it, either. Humans weren't supposed to be able to do magic without dark magic, but he hadn't looked like he used the dark magic she was used to. This was... weird. It was taking a lot to get passed this.
She eyed the door as they approached, also looking for a possible way through or around.
"They might... hard to tell. We weren't ambushed, at least." Still, getting through the door would be a good idea. She really hated technology, honestly, so she was just going to take one of those blades she'd found in the weapon box, and attempt to pry open the door. When in doubt, sometimes brute force worked best.
Raphael stepped back to let Rayla have a go at the door. "True. But if they know we're here then that's where they're gonna expect us to come in."
He looked around and then grinned as he spotted the lines of a panel in the wall nearby. Pulling out his sai, he gave them a twirl before jamming them into the groove to help ease it open so he could pull it off the rest of the way. "How 'bout we try door number two?" he called over to Billy and Rayla. "Looks like some kinda maintenance shaft or something."
"I'll take point," Raphael offered, sliding on in.
If this ended up being a poor choice, he wasn't going to let anyone else on their small team take the brunt of it. Things were still too quiet, but he hoped that experience would hold and no one would ever think to look in the ventilation or the maintenance shafts.

He murmured a cloaking spell, blue light shimmering briefly around the group. "They shouldn't be able to see us now."
