Search leftover databanks for information into our strange bodies.
(heads, success)
Something in the cockpit is bombarding the unconscious bodies in there with energy. The only clue you can find is that this process is connected to the
"emergency download" message. However, as you look closer, you see the message
"Error: surrogate vessel reserves low." You find something called
"surrogate instruction manual", but the data is corrupted. The records indicate there's a physical copy somewhere, though.
Steal the souls of some of the unconscious bodies.
(heads, success)
You grip the shoulders of some of the unconscious figures, though nothing seems to happen. However, one seems to stir, and you try gripping its neck tightly. For a second, you feel a connection with another mind, a flash of confusion, and then something draining into your body up your arm. After a few seconds, the other figure stops moving and your body begins glowing softly, similar to the person who's head is embedded in the machinery, and a feeling of greater awareness comes over you.

You stand up, but are unable to keep the metal object from sliding out of your abdomen. The pain tops as at leaves your body, but magenta fluid begins pouring out at a surprising rate. A buzzing sensation is rapidly increasing across your entire body.

(heads, success)
Despite the crawling figure bleeding all over you as it stands up, you manage to open another door, revealing a closet full of plastic crates and various tools, though they're hard to make out in the dim red light. A metal sheet engraved with many words lies on one of the crates.
