back away slowly then hit him over the head with my shield when he stops looking and run away with the briefcase.
Politely ask for a pill and pocket it for later use/study/consumption/science.
Follow team to the destroyed gangway, attempt to use sensor device to assrss structural integrity.
The sensor device reads that it's non-radioactive and not producing any strange signals. However, your big fat metal ass is able to detect that you don't want to get near the end of this gangway because it feels like it's gonna fall.
Rad suits on, everyone. We're going to the shipyard pit that Teal dropkicked a nuke into first. Get your climbing harnesses on over it - I don't care if you already have rockets - and take note, we're not taking them off at all during this mission, even once we're done with the pit. It's not the only radiation hazard this place has to offer.
Flint, Auron, you're exempt from the climbing harness order - you've got Gilgamesh and an industrial exosuit, respectively, you'll have to rely on their jump jets. You'll still be wearing the rad suit inside it, though. Flint, you'll also be carrying our climbing gear until we need it, and be our primary way through debris with that mining laser. Auron, you'll carry spare tools and equipment.
Everyone, you know what you're better with. Take tools or diagnostics, whichever you're more comfortable with.
Pancaek... you already have your orders. if you think you can help out, either on hardware or software tech, then get diagnostics or tools, whichever. And Auron, don't try and take anything like that again. We don't need intra-team conflict, especially not with Pancaek's job.
Rad suit on over the Phase Armor, and climbing harness on over that. Take my share of the tools and scanners, and head out to the Shipyard Pit, stopping for any survey work along the way.
You get suited up and, using the members of the team with rockets, hitch a ride over across the gap in the destroyed gangway and into the damaged side of the building. The damage consists of a great deal of matter that seems to have been cleanly sheered away from it's proper place and then vanished- the ball the armory master created- as well as a huge gash running up from around the center of the crater and cutting a hard skyward angle back towards the remains of the pit. It look like the Armory master must have pushed the ball Grate was trapped in up and partially through the building back toward the repair pit.
The building seems stable enough as it is for the moment, but more in-depth searching would be required to know for sure if it was. You make a note of the fact that the edges of the crater appear to be dusted with gold powder and minute amounts of xenon gas. You wait for the rest of the team to join you before continuing deeper into the building and towards the shipyard.
Put on the rad suit and then a climbing harness on the top. Go ahead and grab my share of scanners too, and then follow Simus to the crater, examining the structure along the way (make sure no one actually tries to kick or bash the possibly unstable building as a way of testing it if it's stable).
You get suited up and fly Simus over to the crater in the side of the building. As she looks around you examine the structure for signs of weakness.
[aux:4+1]
Luckily, the manner that this damaged was caused in appears to have left the structure fairly stable; it never had the chance to collapse and cause damage to lower levels or other such things, it was as though a large chunk of the building simply vanished. It'd definitely not as strong as it could be, but it's good enough. It's the upper levels that you're worried about; the AM wasn't as gentle there, she just punted him through it. There's gonna be more damage up there; and more instability.
((Well hey, for once someone has a mission where they can use a nonlethal yet scary weapon for intimidation, persuasion, and incapacitation!...and of course Anton is the only one with the Red Hand and has no idea what that mission is.
Wonderful. 
))
"Well then. Let's move out. Though I'd really appreciate not needing to be carried.
On second thought..."
Look around the area and see if there is any sturdy metal cable lying about, that's thick enough to hold Anton's weight but not too thick to be unworkable. If there is, fashion a simple carrying cradle, like a window washer's, so that if need be, I could be carried with more dignity than a potato sack.
If there isn't, just sigh and follow Simus and the crew.
You put on your rad suit and a climbing harness before clipping yourself to a teammate's belt and being carried with the grace and dignity of a screaming pendulum.
"Affirmative, miss Simus. I'll take some diagnostic tools, seeing as I'm not...ah....utterly inept with software."
He sweeps his blank faceplate over every member of the group, adressing them all
"I'll try and help as best I can, with the diagnostics and my amps, if need be. And have no fear, I come installed with a decomp.
However, my true purpose here has to do with any survivors we come across. If any if you come across survivors, I would appreciate it if you could contact me, and stall or detain them until I can question them. I would prefer to avoid any uneccessary deaths, but if they absolutely do not cooperate or become violent...let's say I have orders not to let information leak out."
"Inquisitor Pancaek, I don't see how this can go wrong"
Put on a radiation suit. Climbing gear over the rad suit. Take some diagnostic tools and inspect these. See how many darts the dart gun has, and if I can take one or two out of the magazine, if possible. Then follow the group
You get geared up and look at the tools. They seem to be fairly standard; radioactivity monitors, substance analyzers, EMF sensors, general stuff. The dart gun has lots of darts. Maybe 30 in a magazine and several magazines in the case. Apparent they assume you're either gonna miss a lot or meet lots of people who need darts in their necks. You take a few out of the magazine and follow along with Simus.
Put rad suit on if I can wear it inside Gilgamesh. Carry climber gear, other tools nobody has taken and any teammate that needs transport. Help any way I can. In case I don't post, do anything Simus asks me to do.
@Simus: "Sure thing. I'll get right on it. So, do you know why we're here?"
You carry everything left in the box after putting on the radsuit and then fly over and join simus' group after Bishop gives you thumbs up that the building isn't gonna collapse if you land.
