"...I can't believe you fed me to the rest of the crew," Jim said bitterly.
>Actually I think the doctor used your bits for something. Not sure. After it goes in the freezer it's all just meat. Detonate charge, then enter melee.
You enter the detonation code and activate the bomb. The world in front of you blooms bright with the birth of a transitory star. You have only an instant to admire it before the shockwave, puts 20 psi across your entire body and hurls you backwards, the world burning around you as the heat of the blast scours the battlefield.

Open both things.
You crack open both capsules. The large one contains something that looks strangely like a very shiny, metal breastplate. It's proportions are odd, but it looks like you could wear it. The second item is what looks like a glass container of some sort of cream. Someone has rather haphazardly stuck a label on it and written "PANACEA-ish" on it in black marker. Huh.
((Is the Mystery Box labeling scheme consistent across sizes? IE will a small and large capsule with the same label have similar items, say alien laserguns or so?))

Do you have any enhancements that can be added into a MKIII helmet to help with sensors and head protection? Stuff like auto-adjusting sacks of impact gel to provide a snug fit or anything else like that?"
"Well, we have impact gel and you could use that to replace the kinda crappy padding in there right now."
Any about weaponry.
Take the book and start reading it.
"Any specific weaponry or just weapons in general?"
