"Huh. Organic samples. Wonder what they wanted these for."
Check a few of the other cubes to see if they have the same things inside. If so, put an unopened metal cube in my backpack. Then reseal the opened cubes after Alec is finished filming and limp back out into the hallway.
If another teammate heads down the hall to the intersection, follow them. Otherwise, observe the exoskeleton from a safe distance for a while. How is it reacting to missing an arm?
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.

The contents of the cubes varies, some have mechanical devices of unknown use in them, others are mixes of both, but they stay fairly standard between those two things. You pick up one of the metal cubes at random and put int in your backpack. This takes up the rest of your weight slots.
You limp back out to the hallway and check on the now delimbed exoskeleton. It's still moving, wiggling a bit, and the loss of its arm doesn't seem to have terribly effected it, At least in terms of its actions. Though it certainly doesn't seem as effective anymore.
Go film all the little fishies and organs and stuff.
Berius
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.

Steal several boxes
Each costs 2 units of weight. I have no idea how much you can carry because you have no sheet posted.
These cubes are about a foot across, remember. They're not tiny.
