"Right... Let's take it from the top."
Bring up details on each individual layer. What does what best? Which is the best at temperature resistance? Which is the strongest? What do the others do?
The plate seems to be made of 5 specific layers, though several repeat. The top layer is designed for the duel purpose of temperature and laser resistance, while the layer under it seems mostly to protect against solid impacts, such as from kinetic projectiles. Under that is what seems to be a binding, structural layer that acts mostly to stop the above layers from deforming. The 4th layer is very dense but not particularly strong, and designed to block radiation. The final layer is a relatively thin but highly deformable layer of psudo-plastic designed to act as a final seal against decompression. 3 stacks of these layers make up the whole plate.
Destroy the f*cking bot's gut with heat.

You successfully cause minor burns throughout the bot's intestinal track, while the bot melts your head right off your shoulders.
Issue statement > Steve
"Steve, you don't put manuals around for those who are using weapons, right? Why do you let us tinker with them in this way?"
Feyri was surprised by the lack of doctrine, but at least this gave her an idea.
"They say lasers can damage anything, and nothing is ever truly resistant to them...Hmm."
A laser oscillator. Intriguing.
Enter VR on anything that resembled a tinker simulation.
Explode: 1 Laser Rifle for the purposes of making an F.E.L.
Request: Eye-shields.
>It's not that I won't let you use them, it's that we don't have them. These laser rifles are left over from the altered wars, along with a lot of the other military tech you people are using. They were losing men and weapons so quickly in those days that they had whole planets pumping them out at a rate of millions per day. At the time the altered wars ended there were more laser and gauss rifles kicking around then there were living members of the human race. Hell, we'll still occasionally find untouched warehouses of millions of the things on abandoned or fallen worlds. Simply put, they're just so damn old and were made so commonly without manuals that we can't find em. I suppose we could just make one ourselves but to be honest they're so simple we don't see the point. You select a laser rifle from the menu and press the button labeled "Explode" on the work table. The gun hovers into the air and rapidly disassembles itself into it's component parts. When it comes to the real guts of the rifle, it's little more then the battery, laser emitter and barrel of focusing chambers wrapped in some thin metal to give you something to hold on to.
You type "Eye shields" into the search and the computer displays a "?" before materializing a pair of sun glasses.
(( I assume the layout of the area we are restricted to is now considered known by us, right?))
Pay a visit to the armory and examine the lists of available equipment.
Good day to you, madam. You are the person who is in charge of the armory, I assume? Could you please tell, of all the instruments in the emergency kit, is there anything that could be used as a melee weapon - say, a scalpel? I'm not sure how good the protective equipment we're going to use (or the hides of our enemies) is. Or maybe you could suggest some kind of a knife, capable of penetrating those - that could also be used for other, to be specific, medical purposes? Some kind of a monoatomic weapon that doesn't vibrate and relies on cutting instead, maybe?
Yeah, don't worry too much about having to re-familiarize your character with the existence of things. We can just assume there's a map or something hanging in the barracks, since being familiar with the base area is fairly innocuous.
"The advanced kit's got some nice scalpels and such, but the normal one doesn't. Why, whatcha planning to do with such a thing?"
April decides to stroll on down to the mess hall.
You walk into the mess hall. Across the way there are a few people messing around in the Rec room, mostly on the VR machines, but one guy is watching tv.
Jim switched legs and tried to kick him in the balls again. It had to work eventually.

[Man dex:4]
You swing your opposite leg up, attempting to strike him right in the groin, but miss so badly that you throw yourself completely off balance and fall over, dragging him down with you. You land with him on top of you, his grip on your head still firm.
[man str:2]
The man continues, rather laughably at this point, to try and blind you. Geez, he has the thumb strength of a 2 year old.
"Hur..."
Charro looked at the screen. Then down at his own bland-looking outfit. Then back at the screen. Then back at his own-- Okay, you get the idea, this went on for a while. He frowned a bit. He wanted fancy clothes!
>Go to the Armory Master. Take television as reference. Ask for fancy clothes.
((Goddamnit, I think I am starting to take Charro's dumbness too far. 
))
>Watch dah magic picture-box some more.
You have the sudden urge to buy namebrand electronics. HNNNNGGGGG CAPITALISM.
