Hmm curious
Kick the door down
"H.M.R.C. DROP YOUR WEAPONS NOW!"
You try to Kick the door
[str:1-1]
[end:4]
You promptly kick the wall and spend several seconds hoping up and down on one foot, swearing.
[Team A - Demolitions - Simus]
Go back to the Mess and photograph the executions, message them to Command with an attachment reading, "Any idea what weapon(s) were used for this?", and see what's in the room next to the Mess.
((So many 504s, I just want to post.
Edit: It stops just in time for me to be late for an update.))
(Again, I don't know what you mean by "Next to the mess", since that could mean the bathroom or like 3 other rooms.)
You walk into the mess hall and look at the bodies, getting good video of them with your suit before asking Command what did this.
"Unimportant. You are here to clear, not to investigate."
[Team A Leader Jim - Temporary Quarantine Housing]
"I've found what appears to be a journal. There's not enough left intact to be of interest," Jim reported over comms to everyone. Then he headed south and tried the door at the corner. (That is a door at that corner, isn't it? If not, the last door on the left.)
The last room on the left is actually completely empty. Huh. [int:6] Something here isn't adding up. Whoever decorated these rooms was
teeeeerrible.
[Team B Leader=Milno=Temporary Quarantine Housing]
"Found nothing of interest, again."
Next unexplored room. Use gauss rifle for trap-checking.

You take the next to last room on the left wall, just above the one jim is looking through. Standard stuff, single bed and dresser. [int:5]
Hmm, this doesn't add up. There aren't nearly enough beds here for all the bodies in the Mess hall to have just been from the quarantine housing. There were 15-20 people here, tops, and there was twice that in the mess hall.
[Team B Sniper=Thomas=Temporary Quarantine Housing.]
Follow!
You stick with milno and begin to worry as he stands in the room, seemingly lost in thought.
"Hey...hey...you're not possessed or anything?" You ask, poking him.
Name:Flint - Team C - Temporary storage, entrance
"Looks like there's nothing I can do here. Don't know much about doctoring. I'll go explore."
Don't know much about much now that I think about it...
Go right and follow the wall until the hallway to Long range Comms. (Don't enter the hallway if it's unlocked.) Look for anything interesting along the way: Rooms, storage lockers, desks, forklifts, anything. Gauss rifle at the ready.
To Everyone:"From what I'm hearing from Team A and B and what I've seen so far most people here seem to have been killed by weapons, not a disease. Anyone else find that strange? I mean if the disease came inside the base with a man wouldn't he be the first to cough and drop dead somewhere around here? Command said the disease killed more than half of the colony in three months... Perhaps I'm missing something..."
@Bishop "Can you check the crew of the ship for cause of death? Maybe THEY died from the disease."
((We can hear broadcasts from other teams, right?))
You follow the right wall to the exit of the storage room, scanning for anything interesting as you go. There are platforms like the one in the hall, used to get containers down and move them around, but nothing much else. If someone handled inventory here, there was no evidence of it.
You reach the exit and the panel seems unlocked, but you don't press the open button.
[Team A Medic - Mesk]
"Welp, time to check the doors that don't have blood stains leading from them. I don't know whether to feel better or worse about that."
Check a door that's hasn't been checked and isn't being checked by a teammate.
You walk to the door that Bruce is hopping around next to and open it, peeking in. Bed, dresser, blah. It's almost like this is all standardized housing or something.
Grab pry bar. Keep checking crates unless Faith moves off somewhere, then follow her.
"Hey, anyone need something to hit people with?"
((The 504's are usually fine. Hit post, wait, and it ends up on bay12 eventually. It just errors on your end.
Government conspiracy? Maybe they've finally worked out that bay12 is a melting pot of crazy genius and are monitoring it to work out how the hell something like this can happen....... With matrix-style double posts from PW and everything. Did I see that cat twice, or was it just me? Dum, dum, DDdDdddduuuuummmmmm!!?!!! The plot thickens. ))
You grab the pry bar and follow faith in her search of the lower right section of the room. It doesn't yield anything new.

Move to the back of the room, towards sterilization. Keep an eye out for potential hostiles, traps or environmental hazards (like falling crates), back away if encountered. Pry open the first unopened container, look inside.
Meanwhile, save following message under 'blatant lies.mp3', then play it over external speakers on full volume:
'This is the UWM, we are here to rescue you. Come out with your hands above your head, you will be transported to safety by our personnel. Any hostility will be met with extreme repercussions, but if you co-operate you will remain unharmed.'
((By 'draw a map' I meant using my suit's computer to draw a little map with.))
((@Zako: congrats, you just scored yourself a mining laser.))
You dig your suit's fingers into the first crate you find while simultaneously broadcasting your announcement of being a rescue team. The container is tightly packed with shrinkwrapped pallets of food. Not the kind of food you would expect though; luxury items like wine and chocolates, superfluous stuff. Definitely not the sort of thing you'd expect from a colony out on the edge of nowhere.
Team D Leader Faith; Temporary Storage
Sambo," Faith said sternly. "Calm. Down. Do not. Shoot things. Just relax, these are not. The enemy."
She continued staring at him. He was clearly not okay.
"Also," she said to everyone in general, "We've found several corpses that have been beaten to death. It seems the riot indeed took its toll.
Shouldn't be too surprising that there's no diseased bodies yet; presumably they'd have been disposing of those while there was any semblance of order, and not that many people would have been in the loading bay while dying of plague."
Sweep the lower right corner of Temporary Storage for anything interesting.
You wander around through the lower right side of the room, but don't see anything that strikes you as that interesting or out of place.
Team D, Jobasio; Temporary Storage
"No doubt we will find furnaces or similiar, something large where they would have disposed of the diseased dead." Jobasio kept an eye on the rest of the room as he kept pace with Faith, ignoring the bodies. He could hardly be of much use in that regard; as far as he knew they looked pretty dead and that was it.
"Sterilization sounds like a good bet in that regard. Perhaps they would have kept some form of records of just what they were sterilizing, there?" He remembered the blast furnaces of the foundries he had come from. He remembered that poor sod who had fallen in once, barely more than a child-- there was little of him left to bury.
Jobansoda blinked those thoughts away, sweeping the room with his gauss rifle as he followed the team.
>Follow Faith, watch the surroundings for hostiles.
>Try not to step on any bodies.
You stick close to faith, flanking her on the opposite side as Sambo. You fancy yourself a bit of a bodyguard. Just need the suit and sunglasses.
Lars nodded to Milno and the other man... Mesk his suit read.
He then joined the radio conversation. "It strikes me as odd that we are here in the quarantine section, and everyone here has died of violence. I suspect a mob came through here and... well, may they rest in peace."
He spoke again to Milno. "Saint Milno, I'm going to check further down the corridor."
Head down the corridor and check beyond the next turn. If anyone living is seen, ask for a peaceful surrender.
You turn the corner. Mesk is there, peeking into a door while Bruce hops up and down, holding his foot. Hmm. That large door just a bit farther down the hall must be the way out of the Temporary housing area.
Team D - Bishop - Techie
"Hmm... I wonder..."
Open the suit and check the occupant for life signs. If they are alive, get them out of the suit and take them to the carriers. If they are dead, see if I can detach the laser and it's power pack from the other suit and see if I can wear it. If I can't wear it, take it down to the others. Don't let Sambo get his dirty mitts on it.
[aux:1+1]
You're not sure how to get his suit open, it's different from the MKIII, and it looks very heavily locked together. The laser is problematic as well; the backpack is easy enough to remove but the man's got a deathgrip on the laser itself.
((What? No extra indiscriminate firepower? Good call 
))
"Hey, Jobby, catch!"
Throw Jobstrapison the pry-bar. Gently, so he can catch it. Not so hard that it accidently spears him through the head.
You just hand the bar to him since he's literally feet away from you.
((Oh hmm, sambo maybe Australian 
Also, since he's swearing over the comms... XD))

Team C - Feyri Nirel ; Armored Mercenary ; Temporary Storage
"Hey everyone. You in for some of my blind assumptions again? What bodies we've seen are all products of artificial weapons in the least - no sign of biological attacks or any deviations of the body other than what seems to be weaponry fire. I'm suspecting we've an A.I. Outbreak here - the bodies in the Hangar were cleaved in twain and the blood in mixed patterns. Crossmatching it, nothing but a heavy powered weapon (or a giant sword, heh heh) could've done it. Now, in the Temporary Storage, we've got blunt trauma being the cause of death for most of these.
"Here, we've seen most of the scenery - the constructs of containers and derelict ships - strewn apart and toppled as if a disaster struck. I bet we can safely out biological weapons, as nothing that affects the cellular level would've done this type of carnage.
"Jim and any other automaton, please check your sensors and circuitry protocol. I don't want to see anything hacking into your systems. Just to be safe. Everyone who can, turn on the infrared detectors."
Feyri took a breath before regrouping with the others and staying close to Miyamoto, holding her shield up as a guard, "If this place has any sort of anomaly, I'd bet to check the communications arrays first. Has anyone reached that area?"
Examine non-organic structures [like the containers] for the type of damage dealt along with the material composition of the object in general.

The containers themselves are made of some sort of metal, you're not sure what kind, and their damage is similar to the others you've seen before: damage from the prying used to wrench them open.
Stacy, Team C, Temporary Storage.
Look around. Do a careful inventory of all the stuff in this room.
Well, there are lots of boxes, LOTS of boxes, a smattering of dead people and...well thats about it. This really looks to be nothing but a storage room.
Shows what you know of medicine.
Hence the reason you failed. Simus does it right.
Shut it assumptions.

"Well...o-ok...You got that right Simus. Sorry. I'll just check the passage to the LRC."

You walk over to the door to the long range coms where flint is already hanging around. It looks like the door can be opened with the control panel next to it.
