Well, one of the bodies is takeable, but the other is more...more a greasy smear of blood and bone marrow on the ground.  So you take the one you can actually pick up without a shop vac and head back to the ship.

((Wait. There's the Grate that got crushed, the Grate that got shot, and the Grate that just...fell over. The smear sounds like the first Grate; which one is the one he grabbed, and what happened to the other?))

The last quantum Grate is still alive so you drag him back to the ship and into the infirmary.

((Oh...))

I imagined you more on his shoulder like some sort of cat girl parrot, but that works too.

((Neither cats nor girls enjoy shoulder poses much. I know the former from experience, and the latter from...well, I don't, but it seems like a reasonable assumption.))


((And I'm going to assume that the note about the alleged lack of quantum stuff being an indication that I can control Grate--or try to--until further notice. And it might provide evidence for or against a theory that these weird entities sometimes referenced are merely on the other side of the Fourth Wall...))
Attempt to wake up.

((Grate_1 got smashed.  Grate_2 got shot.  Grate_3 just fell over.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((And I thought #3 was a corpse.))

[Toaster]

((Nah, he's good.  Probably.))

[Sean Mirrsen]

((He's... well, better than a corpse, at least. In the "physical health" department, if nothing else.))

[Knight Otu]

((Neither cats nor girls enjoy shoulder poses much.))

((Someone forgot to tell that to our cats.))

Gorat jolts up from his snoozing, and is about to sigh out of relief, when he realizes that no, it hadn't been a dream, he did fry a teammate. "[color]How's Teal?[/color]"
He asks, then silently trots to get debriefed.

Spoiler: Gorat 'Chin' Ivanos (click to show/hide)

((Did you miss the Quantum Grate bit?))

[My mind is still stuck on where we got those fuzzy whatsits. Yes I missed everything.]
^{How dare you shout MAGIC in the terminology of Quantum Mechanics, you..you misunderstanding people! That is not how quantum mechanics/physics works!}

[SeriousConcentrate]

(Evidently YOU don't understand Quantum Mechanics, given that how they work has given us 2 Grates for the price of 1. ;3)

((True, quantum mechanics doesn't work like magic. It doesn't work at all
Its pretty much the physics equivalent of a liberal arts degree, or at least that's what I have heard.))

also: After the childlike abomination is tucked into a hospital bed, STEPHEN HAWKING takes a nice jog to the briefing room. Where he does stretches.

"Yessir"
Start moving all of the crates back into the hanger

...((I liked the first one :S))

[SeriousConcentrate]

(But we got a spare, now, and both are almost as good as the original!

On a more serious note, how does everyone think this is going to work? Personally I predict GWG controls both Grates at once like some sort of hivemind thing.)

Jim takes Lyra off to the meeting room, where everyone else is going.

[Lenglon]

Idly wake up still in Jim's arms, and just lie there and let him continue to carry me.

yawn once.

((Oh great. Having a quantum kid running around wasn't bad enough. Now it has to be twin quantum kids. Great. Gonna start finishing each others sentences, moving in near perfect synchronicity, consuming souls to power their quantum.... stuff.))
