"Hm, I don't think it would be practical to lug these around with us, so I'll send a signal to the base about these things. And then either they send somebody to pick this up, or we return with a vehicle later. Well, just in case there's something living in there, let's carry this several hundred meters out of the zone, just to be safe later."
To Base: "Well, the new zone we found is dense with what looks like reptilian scales. They're pretty heavy, so we're not exactly going to be able to lug these around with us. And of course, having a full scale is better than just cutting off a piece. So if we're going to grab one of these things, we're going to require either a mini-shuttle, an MPV, or a Giant Robot. However, the danger status of this zone is unknown. We haven't seen anything, but of course that doesn't mean a thing."
To Team: "Since we're not going into this anomaly, should we continue on exploring? Unless anyone has any objections, I'd elect to continue following the storm. I'm rather curious just where this thing ends."
With the help of my pet, carry this scale several hundred meters away from the zone, towards the fog I suppose.
Then continue following the Storm, keeping away from the scales. PS: I suppose the ropes are coming back if we go into the static zone again.
You drag a few scales out of this zone and somewhere safer before continuing onward, skirting the storm and static through this new and scaly zone. You don't get much farther in before you find something even more disconcerting. It's a hole, or really more of a tunnel or cave, dug straight into the stone at a shallow angle. There are a few scales scattered around it and the hole seems unnaturally uniform. It also seems large enough to let an overweight subway train through without scratching the paint.

'Maybe just deposit it in a safer location close to you somewhere, we can come pick it up later.'
After that, Miyamoto turned towards Lukas.
'Whew, glad you didn't just kill the lot of us. That would have been quite the setback in our explorations, would it not? Anyways, before you continue helping Bishop, mind grabbing some rope and go rescue Flint from his hole? Thank you.'
Go to Gilgamesh, look inside the manual (a physical one or one stored in the suit's computer) how well insulated the battlesuit is against electrical currents, like the ones in the zone our brilliant pilot is. If I cannot find this information, try to intuit how well protected it could be.
You're pretty sure you remember that someone-maybe the armory master- told you that it was electrically insulated. Something about the battle suit plate conducting it away from the frame, ah, whatever. You're sure Gilgamesh can survive anything that electrical zone can dish out.
would a faraday cage work?

Whats a Faraday Cage?
help anton find the wheelchair then find mesk and make him teach me how to drive the mpv
If he stays comatose instead of teaching me just sit in the drivers seat and familiarise myself with the controls.
You wander around with mr.hobbles, checking through the blasted ruins of the medbay until you find a working wheelchair. You help him into it and wheel him back to the garage before going to sit on the MPV and look over it's controls. It's controls are a pair of handlebars, an on switch and a slider that selects what kind of power to use. You don't think you'll need help for this particular vehicle.
Lars bows his head. "Blessed be the gods, that they provide protection for the faithful. Amen."
See if I can move around. If so, assist in base repair duty. (The garage I suppose)
You sit up with a great deal of difficulty. You can move, but you don't feel like you're in any shape to be lifting or moving things.
Continue with the rebuilding.
[handi:6+1]
You rebuild it alright. You rebuild it so that no one will ever destroy it again. You use ever spare bit of metal you can find, plus a few tools. Hell, you almost weld Lukas' hand in place as he holds something for you. The wall that comes out of all this is a messy, giant lump of metal, but it's strong and sturdy and you doubt anyone will be able to drive anything through it.
After that, Miyamoto turned towards Lukas.
'Whew, glad you didn't just kill the lot of us. That would have been quite the setback in our explorations, would it not? Anyways, before you continue helping Bishop, mind grabbing some rope and go rescue Flint from his hole? Thank you.'
"Oh dear, I completely forgot about Flint. I'll get right to it."
Find a piece of rope or something similar and use it to help Flint out of his hole. Then return to helping Bishop with the wall.
Now that the wall is finished, you don't have a whole lot to do. So you dig up a length of cable and wander out to flint's hole. You lower the cable in and, once flint has hold of it, drag him out like a oversized, paraplegic fish. You then proceed to grab him by the head and carry him back to base, talking to yourself the entire way back, mumbling about how they'll never believe you caught one this big and other terrible fishing jokes.
