Make sure I got that all recorded. Also, keep filming.
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.

Ben freaking out? Yeah, you got that.
"Uh... Woops. Sorry."
Down the dark hall, then. Go around the still-moving exoskeletons, and beware of still-'alive'-but-not-moving exoskeletons. Flashlight out, of course.
If an exoskeleton grabs me or a teammate, sever offending mechanical limb with Cutting Torch.
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.

Follow.
Follow.
You practically have to climb over the still moving exoskeletons to get past them, carefully choosing your path to avoid weakly struggling limbs and grasping hands. But you manage to get over them without incident and help the rest of your team across as well. The dark hall leads to a bend, turning left, farther from the staircase you took to get down here. That bend leads to a large spherical room, one which appears to be a metal framework with large transparent windows making up the majority of it's surface. There are paths which follow the circumference of the room at different heights, metal catwalks, to allow different views out the windows. You can't see anything out the windows but pure black, though you do notice something interesting: there are what appear to be small consoles scattered about the room on all the levels. They're attached to the railing of the pathways and appear to be angled so that one could work on them while still looking out the windows. The pathways, which diverge from the entrance you just stepped through, re-converge at an exit on the other side of the room.
See if the murderstick will slow my descent and let me slide down the side of the prism. Prepare for it to fail horribly.

You walk over to the edge and carefully poke at the material with the pointy bit of your stick. To your surprise it stabs in with relative ease. Huh. You try to jerk it from side to side and, though it moves a tiny bit, it is far more resistant to sideways movement then it is to stabbing in or pulling out. You reason that you might be able to slide down the wall of this thing, stabbing to stop your fall and then continuing down in short bursts. Errol Flynn you're not, but it will probably keep you alive...assuming you don't lose your grip.
