Avis-Mergulus AKA Anton "Tosha" TeremnoiPiloting (2)Engineering Technician (1)Acrobat (1) Hungry for more nanites, you decide to investigate the nanotech department where you can put your newfound abilities to use.
As you walk along, you notice a dim blue halo through the wall. The name "Samuel Ashcroft, Nanotech Researcher" pops up beside it in much brighter letters.
As you enter past the gate, you spot the other two subjects that the doctor mentioned, both controlling engineer bodies. One is standing dead still, while the other is actively looking around the room and identifying cameras--looks like he's already on the job.

Nanofabrication [1/3]You split off from the group and make your way through the hallways, looking for the biology wing. You find the entrance after following a group of workers carrying a large aquarium on a rolling platform. The glass tank was brought to a set of large steel doors, leading inside a lab with clearly divided areas for researching soil chemistry, toxins, and wildlife. The aquarium was attached to a set of rails and rolled over to a different section of the biology wing where the animal pens/tanks are located, but some of the workers split off from the others and started, seemingly, to look for a particular person. They spread out and affix their masks, each searching a different region of the Soil Biology labs.
You observe these people, hoping that they will lead you to someone important, most likely Dr. Bentley himself. [6] Fortunately for you, the HUD software does all the work, requiring only a brief glimpse of the masked doctor's eyes and facial expression through the goggles in order to put a bright blue virtual flag over his head.
Since the target has been identified and you no longer need to watch closely, you scan around for anything you can possibly use to subdue the researcher or otherwise. [4] You locate some possible options, including:
-A security guard must have left his/her stun baton on a table, since it's currently just lying there.
-A fire extinguisher on the wall, located next to a fire alarm with a large icon of a ceiling sprinkler next to it.
-An emergency kit located beneath a bench. A closer examination of the label indicates that it includes several sedatives as well as a gas mask and a defibrillator.
-A large cylinder of anhydrous ammonia located against the wall. Several warning signs are present.
Comrade P. AKA Hamilton TeromoSidearms (2)Swordsman (1) You make your way through the halls, acting as though you are busy. [2] Despite this, an elderly scientist remarks as you pass by,
"Well would you look at that; Hours ago these guys were asleep in tubes."
He comes closer and demands your attention.
"Hey there big fella', what's your name?"

Cloud Combat (1) To complete your plans, you've first got to get your hands on some nanites. Since the nanites are microscopic and mostly invisible in small numbers, you extend your senses to try and pick up any that might be residually scattered around the room, [2] though there isn't much to work with afterward. You won't be able to do what you wanted to do with this little.
Your options on obtaining more appear to be:
-A 1x2x1m glass tank near the storage closets appears to be filled with a dusty aerosol. These are most likely nanites, but the tank appears to be electromagnetically shielded, preventing you from controlling them from outside. There is a cover over the tank, although it seems to be lifted as there are two scientists and a technician verbalizing over the tank.
-A group of redshirts are currently hauling a cart full of various compounds and substances (including liquid nitrogen, acetylene, oxygen, and packets of dry ice), but no nanites, into a hallway.
-Another subject walks into the room, also using an Engineer body. Perhaps he can help?
