"Forgive my stupidity."
Approach the dying man with shield raised, inquire if he can tell us as to what happened here, request anyone nearby to give a medical check-up/diagnosis...

Ah a nonspecific speech request. That means a roll!
[speech:1]
"WHERE'S THE GIRL!? I KNOW YOU AND THE UKRAINIAN BOBSLED TEAM TOOK HER! SO WHERE IS SHE, IVAN VON STROGANOFF?!" You shake the delirious man by the collar of his overalls.
Jim continues to stand completely still so as to be non-threatening and rest his aching brain.
You are as the statue: large, muscular, and unmoving. However, your impression isn't perfect, you're not covered in bird shit.
Stacy, Team C Physimancer, Water Production.
"Well, the fellow on the ground is definitely alive. Let's take a look at him, shall we?"
Examine what his problem is. Is he injured in any obvious way? What's his problem? Does he have the plague? Could I conceivably help him in any way? Use limited medical expertise to do this. Don't actually touch him or otherwise physically influence him, though!
He doesn't have any blood on his mouth out other signs of hemorrhagic effects, but he's incredibly thin, pale, and glassy eyed. You can only guess that he's either starving to death or very dehydrated. Or both.
Lars bowed his head in prayer. "May the light of Steve watch over us all. Algis, shield us all from harm so we may complete this mission!"
Pray over the group.
You pray to the various gods at your disposal for their protection, guidance and favor.
Well, we're here to extract you survivors so that what happened to the colony can be found out by the regulars. All we know is something about a plague, and that there's a bunch of dead people upstairs, some executed, some gunned down. Now, there should be some APCs coming down after us to facilitate getting you out.
As for the rocky relationship with authorities, some of us no doubt have had similar. It's no issue, we're not exactly authorities, just having to work for them.
Be diplomatic.
The man nods and licks his lips a bit.
"Yeah, yeah I'll bet. Normally I'd say we'd take our chances here, but there's no food left, so we're kind of out of options. I don't suppose you know where they're gonna take us?"
"Yeah, these guys are toast. I'm going to check the machinery, don't break or shoot anything guys."
Go check the state of the machinery. Is it all working properly? Is anything damaged? Is there anything of interest or something that's out of place?
Everything looks functional, at least as far as you can tell, all running with their gauges in the green. Some of the filters will need changing in a week or so, but beyond that, it's all good.
[Team B Leader=Milno]
Milno flares his comms to tell the team about the good news, and even more to a specific person.
"Command just told me I should shoot the troublemakers since they won't shock said people. That goes for all of you, but more specifically, to you. Control your trigger finger or I won't control mine." he says, nodding towards Bruce.
Keep waiting for the results of diplomacy.

You wait with the rest of the group, ready to open fire on anyone who would try to break up the peaceful negotiations; teammate or otherwise.
Cover Feyri as she works. If they aren't hostile, carefully pick up any survivors and carry them to the APC's. Give mining laser to Pancaek, if necessary for easy carrying.
'Feyri, if anyone of 'em is still alive, I'll carry them back to the APC. Be careful when you check them though.'
You cover feyri as she shakes one of the bodies like a ragdoll. Uh...perhaps she wasn't the best choice for negotiator.
Bruce Blocks Milno, and hums to himself.
You give Milno a good blocking.
Jobasio made his way slowly through the door, gauss rifle braced against his shoulder as he swept the room.
"More victims. Could be anything hidden amongst all this machinery, though."
>Sweep the room carefully, check amongst the machines and storage tanks along the walls.
>Also examine the equipment itself for damage etcetera.
((Well great, I got skipped again... 
))
>Do that action again, and speak over the comms:
"Teams A and B, you've encountered survivors, correct? Might I warn against coming into close contact with them just yet? We've no doubt picked up traces of the plague on our suits, and if they are unprotected against such we could quite possibly kill them all just with our presence."
( Swear the forum is dropping parts of my posts...)
You look around the room. Everything seems in order, nothing broken a least. The only things that are really out of place are the bodies and their supplies of food and water and how they're all untouched.
Lukas decides to follow Bishop's advise and stays outside. "I'll just wait here and guard the entrance."
Stay outside and guard entrance.
You stand in the middle of the hall and try to look as imposing as possible. It's not hard.
Name:Flint/Bloody Miner - Team C - Water production
@Command: "Command is it OK if we bring him back to the APC? You have medics right?"
Ask command. Help carry the man to the APC. Else examine the room for damage or someone hiding.
@Team A and B: "Once you're done negotiating with the survivors (and if they and you are still alive by then) can you ask them about what happened, especially in those rooms we're exploring. Every bit of info helps."
"They are on their way down. Take him."
You shove Feyri out of the way and pick up the man, you can't even feel his weight in your arms, and begin carrying him toward the elevator. You look down at him and he's staring at you, terrified, mumbling.
"Deeper....Deeper...you killed...you killed..."
You deposit him in an Apc as it reaches the end of the elevator ride. Even as you strap him into a chair he stairs at you, wide eyed.
"Deeper...Deeper..."
((The title is a lie. It must be! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE REAL HMRC?!))
Team D Leader Faith, Oxygen Production
"Damn it, looks like they all decided to have one guy kill everyone and then himself. Or if not, this guy had really good aim. Except on himself."
Loot and examine gauss pistol, then read the piece of paper in his hand.
You pick up the gauss pistol: it's a small caliber thing, several times weaker then a normal gauss rifle from the armory, the sort of thing civilians get.
You get the paper free of the man's hand and read it.
"We were supposed to stay here, make sure the machines keep running, protect them from the riots, keep the colony alive. But we can hear them at the door. They're trying to break through, taunting us with what happened in food production. They say the bodies are hanging from the rafters. They say we're next. We won't let that happen. Let them die, they've brought it on themselves."
