((Sorry about herping the derp.))
Back to the spot with the men, check if they are still there.
"Hey there, any advances so far?" Milno asked as he approached the maintenance guys, pretending to take another look at whatever it was they were fixing while keeping a safe distance and giving a frustrated frown. "Got all the way down here just to notice I got the wrong box. Gotta get the right one quick before I get in trouble." he said, the last part sounding quieter, almost a conspiratorial whisper.
The man only seem to be half listening, too busy with their own work, arguing amongst themselves about which wire is right. You tip your hat and keep walking until you reach the door that leads back into the building proper. You're not sure how much longer until the bomb blows- you didn't check your watch when you set it-but you figure you've still got a good bit of time.
"Okay, biology was never really my strongest suit, but I'm pretty sure there's more than one type of cell in a mouth."
Continue heckling the advertisnews. See if actual news are coming up.

Half a robot foot. Robot right arm.
You begin screaming "Heck" at the tv until it displays actual news. This time it's a story about how some people claim that certain magistars abuse their power.The story ends about halfway through with a sudden cut to commercials.
Ask the nearest person where the fuck I am.
The nearest person is the guy with the box.
"A spaceship. Not important though. Wanna buy something? Quality alien goods, anomalous artifacts and various high tech junks."
He points down at the capsules in the box.
"Come on. Just a few tokens. You might just get lucky and win the "Get out of death troop" free card."
Duck into some cover, try and remember how long the recharger backpack would take for it to get back up to enough energy to kill someone. Grab one of their weapons, just to be safe.
[con:4+2]
You expend your entire battery sweeping the laser slowly up the crowd of surprised men, eliciting gurgling screams and sprays of boiling gore. The simulation ends rather abruptly as the men, now in two distinct pieces, thud down the stairs and land in a pile near the opening the cut.
Hmm. Zis is going to take some more effort. Maybe when I can be pretty sure I won't break the thing that keeps me alive in space. Perhaps someone else is up now.
Put suit away, get deck of cards from AM, ask her if there is a summary available of some of the recent missions the group has been on. Then, proceed to the rec room, and idle there playing solataire cribbage and reading some of the notes. ((I'm going away for a few days, but this should be the last absence for quite some time.))
You get the deck of cards, but rather then notes the armory master tells you that there's a VR program for watching the Missions or even trying them yourself. You thank her and go play strip solitaire in the rec room.
It is a very depressing game.
(( So short version, my upgrades are complete and I'm locked in a room with no visible door. ))
" Hey? Somebody mind building a door into this thing. "
Continue firing until the wall collapse if speaking fails. See if the arm has any other features or can fire more powerfully.
"There is a door." Someone speaks over speakers that must be hidden somewhere in room, "You just have to find it. Shooting won't help. But if you find your way out, you'll get something new."
