Ravage makes his way carefully down a tilted bit of ceiling into the open area below. Hrm... reinforced walls. That would be why it is still mostly intact.
He sniffs around for awhile, then starts to paw at a section of the carpet. In short order, he uncovers something of interest.
//Trap door.// he says back to Barricade.
Ravage sets to work prying the door open. There are fresh scents here, scents that match the older ones in the carpet and furnishings.

Skipping Barricade and Scrapper due to time-out.
//Because cops can go poking around suspicious sinkholes where civilians can't,// Nightbeat responds to Jazz. //The Constructibot here figures the temple got taken out from below, but I'll bet my bottom credit it wasn't natural. Something stinks here, and it ain't just the broken sewer pipes.//
If he thinks he can get away with it Nightbeat might just duck under the crime scene tape when no-one's looking and start poking around on his own.

// Trap door? Recognize anything? // Barricade asks.
And if Nightbeat starts edging toward that tape, Barricade might just have to play cop and shoo him back again. Provided that they're anywhere near each other.

//Hmm. Looks like Deq'ard has Scrapper stopped, but I'll see if I can put in a good word, depending on how things go... Though, yeah, I do agree.//
If Nightbeat does try to get in, Jazz will do what he can to swing it where he can stay! Surely there's something he can swing... For now, he sticks to making sure other civilians don't cross the tape.

//Not yet. Some escaped. Maybe bunker?//
Ravage finally gets a claw under the panel and flips it open. The cat growls and recoils.
//Mrrrrr. If did, maybe dead. Gas smell. Broken main, maybe.//
//Follow?//

//Hold that thought, Jazz. I'm gonna try another angle here.// The detective removes himself from the crime scene, turning a corner and subspacing his coat and hat before transforming to Porsche mode, his Headmaster partner Muzzle transforming and jumping down from his shoulders. You sure this is a good idea? Nightbeat asks through their telepathic link as the Nebulan retrieves an oversized photon pistol from the trunk and slings it over his shoulder. No, Muzzle responds, checking to make sure the coast is clear, then ducking around the corner and under the police tape into the ruins. Just so long as we're on the same page, the car finishes.

// Hmmm... not yet. No sense getting you singed if anyone's already probably dead. Lemme pass it on though. Stand fast. //
"Sir," Barricade calls to the officer that seems to be in charge, "my partner's detecting a lot of gas down there. Maybe a main damaged or broken, with gas collecting in lower access passages. He's awaiting further orders."

//Whatever you do, be careful.// Jazz says, glancing around the scene. Then grins a bit as he notices Muzzle. //...well, that's using your head.//
Deq'ard turns to Barricade, frowning. He crosses his arms, thinking for a moment. "Call him back, and get this area evacuated - we need to get this area evacuated and call the gas company so they can take care of this. Once they seal that up and get the area ventilated, we can come back and investigate then."
Jazz frowns as well. //Newsflash, you two// he transmits to Nightbeat and Muzzle - seems like blades' pet monster found a gas leak...//
----- OOC: Perhaps a timeskip to after the danger has been fixed by the proper people to the investigative part?

OOC: Assuming Ravage gets the call back. If this is an issue, let me know, and I'll edit.
Ravage gives one final growl, then backs away from the trap door. He moves carefully so as not to send any random spark into the gas-tainted air.
Shortly, he is back by Barricade's side.
OOC: If I could actually suggest we fade out on the thread completely after another round or two at most? That would allow us to get to the next "scene" and let Hellbender get back to doing bad things to Cultists. Any discoveries or theories could come out in the next segment?

"Dammit," Muzzle mutters. He got the radio call just as he was dropping into a hole he can't climb back out of. He was hoping to find another way out after doing some snooping, but now that's looking like a bad idea.
//Great,// transmits Nightbeat, //So we get to let the local utility company contaminate the crime scene and then we get to investigate. Typical.// A pause, then, //I don't suppose you could help Muzzle out of there, Jazz? I'd do it myself, but, you know.//

OOC: Skipping Barricade due to time-out.
---
//Hey, either that, or we go down there, a random spark goes off, and then we don't have a scene to investigate. And yeah, I'll grab the little guy.//
Jazz nods at Deq'ard, then glances at the hole. "Gimme a moment sir, thought I saw something.." Jazz then slips off toward where Muzzle went, and once he finds the Headmaster, he stoops down, reaching down into the hole and hauling him out. "Now, now, sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the area - this area's full of gas, and we need to get it aired out and the leak sealed."

OOC: Hauling of Muzzle done with player permission.

Ravage does, indeed, get that call back. Not that Barricade worries that the cat would be able to survive an explosion here, but his character should be worried, and so he does.
Barricade even checks Ravage over once the cat is back at his side, just like any good K9 handler would do for his partner, just to make sure that the cat hasn't gotten any injuries while skulking about down in all that collapsed church.
Now, all that remains is to wait until the utility company gets there and does their thing so that they can go back to work: finding an angle to turn this little disaster in their favor.
----- ooc: fade out?

Ravage patiently submits to Barricade's inspection. The cat isn't hurt, but he is playing a role. At least this role doesn't involve collars and feathers. Lucky thing for Barricade, that. //Something familiar under the gas smell.// he says privately to Barricade. Let's end it on Nightbeat, so that the Detective can get in any zingers or suppositions.

Muzzle touches his hand to his helmet in a lazy salute after Jazz helps him out of the hole. "Thanks. Guess I'll just evacuate the area, then, officer." The armored Nebulan scampers back around the corner to where his Headmaster partner is waiting.
//If this was foul play,// Nightbeat radios, //then it's going to be a hell of a case. Because every living thing in the universe has a motive.//
OOC: Wrap is good with me.
