((Do you get paid for information or only tangible loots?))

If the information is actionable, then you can get paid for it. Recording it helps too. Datapads have a camera. I may want to add a camera to the shopping list too.

[Toaster]

Also, considering the air tax and the set up, I think this song is the official theme song of Crossroads.

"An exoskeleton, huh? Nice find. What killed the alien, though? And did it have anything for the door?"

Spoiler: Ben Febinez (click to show/hide)

Ben lived on a small colony, specialized in mining. Crime was rampant, so Ben took a few self-defense classes. Then he starting buffing up. Like, really buffing up. More than once, he was accused of steroid abuse. His muscles were put to good use in the mines, helping to pay for his family's apartment and food costs, until one day a family member won the Corporate lottery. Ben seemed like the most likely family member to survive whatever dangerous scenarios the Corporation would put him through, so he quit his job in the mines, claimed the "prize", and was soon on his way to the Crossroads.

You unholster the unwieldy revolver and slowly advance on the object, weapon pointed at it the entire time. You get right up beside it...well, you're on the other side of the hall, but you're as close to it as you're gonna get for the moment. Now that you're closer you can see that the gray...exoskeleton? Armor? Suit?  Second skin? Whatever it is, despite looking organic, doesn't appear to be part of the creature that resides inside it. The suit, for that is what you assume it is, has a chuck missing from its side and the internal structure, all tubes and webbing, is cradling a body with a matching hole in its side. The body is pale, sunken and mummified, vaguely humanoid in appearance, save for the odd- are they scales? Metallic implants?- formations running down it's side. Is it one of the creatures the humans on Minos made? You've heard stories that the Minotians created countless servant races and that some still lived in the planet, but this isn't Minos. Maybe this is a true alien?  You really can't tell, not as it is, with this partial view of a damaged mummy.

You lower your revolver and look at the body a bit closer. Its got a bet...or at least thats what you think it is,  strung along  its waist and something held in one hand.

Take a picture of the corpse. See what the alien has in it's hand, and take it if it looks valuable. Examine the belt.

If all that goes off without a hitch, scribble initials, the time, and an arrow going further down the hall  on the wall with the marking pen.

You take out your data pad and snap a picture or two, of the thing as a whole and of the flesh you can see.  That done, you carefully pry open its hand. The object in his hand is capsule shaped, silvery and maybe 3 inches long and one inch at it's thickest part. You pick it up. It is heavier then it looks, and seems to resist being tilted, as though stabilized by some sort of internal gyroscope. You stick it in your bag.  You try to get his belt off, but it is firmly fused to the rest of the suit. There are small pods on it, bony things topped with leathery sphincters.

You stand up for a moment and scribble your initials, the date, and an arrow going off down the hall in the faintly glowing silver ink of the marking pen.

You both carry the body over to the socket and, with some difficulty and finagling, extend its arm and jam the hand into the socket. Once you have it partially in the limb practically jumps the rest of the way, as though pulled magnetically into place. There is a clank and suction sound as it fits into place. Something in the wall releases and the entire suit wobbles unsteadily, the socket suddenly able to turn.  On a hunch, you both push the body around as though turning a key. It rotates a quarter turn and then locks back into place. The screen above it blinks, glows with bluish light and then displays something in a language that isn't any you've ever seen, before then displaying a strange diagram of 3 interlocking circles with what appear to be touch sensitive symbols on each circle.

Film everything involving the exoskeleton and control panel with the camera on the datapad, or at least take pictures.

Name: Alec Badel
Background: An employee for a digital security company, he learned how to twist electronics to his purposes. He might have made it far in the company, but he had a couple of problems. If he didn't succeed at something on the first try, he gave up on it and moved on, no matter how important the project. The even bigger problem was that being hurt often caused him to flip out and start trashing workstations, whether if was from slamming his finger in a door or accidentally putting a staple in his hand. The higher-ups did some final in with the lottery to have him win and "politely suggested" he go to the Crossroads. At gunpoint.
