Arthur Staunch (Megggas):You stumble upon the corpse of a fist-sized red fish on the ground. You pick it up, noting that its face is shaped like a knife. It is quite sharp and more than capable of making tiny incisions on the fish you brought.
[6] You then look above, and see a swarm of red fishes flying in a school above you. Flying fish.

You wire up the timer circuit and stand close by when it triggers. You hear a loud crack, and it turns out the glass in the pod has shattered. Those explosives packed a punch!
Then again, that is exactly what those charges were designed to do: remove an unruly canopy from the premises. By blowing the siding, no less.
To your surprise, the unharmed girl in the pod slides the pod cover away (laying flat against the pod and sliding the curved glass cover over her. It looks like she barely fit below the curved cover) and promptly escapes, coughing up oxgel over the next few minutes.
When she finishes, she neglects to put on the oxygen mask that came in her pod. Instead, she touches her heart and then her forehead, smiling.

The girl from the pod sees you from the trench and stumbles over to the trench wall, climbing out slowly. The atmosphere doesn't seem to be harming her.

The air is a bit thick, but the gas mask seems to work. It must filter out whatever caused the bloody cough before.
Technically you
are outside, given that there is a hole in the wall and rainwater is pouring in from outside. It may be wise to avoid getting drenched, so you simply look out the hole. There is a large column of smoke rising from the wreckage of a building about twenty or so meters away. There is also a collapsed tower and some metal shrapnel laying about.
You spot tire tracks and footsteps in the mud. It looks like a lot of people were here recently.
The survivor from the before enters through the gap in the wall, along with a soldier like the ones who carried you here. This one is wearing a scarf and balaclava obscuring his face. There is also a woman, who is the doctor that tended to your injuries when you started coughing blood. A conversation ensues...

When you enter, she sees the other doctor lying on the floor next to the survivor's bed. The survivor is standing in the middle of the wall-gap, and sees you come in.
The other doctor was hit by the shrapnel from the explosion. He has a giant gash in his left chest, not quite reaching his spine or heart, but enough that he probably passed out from blood loss. The surviving doctor immediately turns to you.
"Do you have anything? Anything at all that can save him? You healed your fellow man, and he's walking again! Tell me you can do the same!"You actually still have the last medical gel. The explosion interrupted the meeting before you could hand it over.

[6] The prybar breaks the lock after a few swings. It also breaks the prybar since you missed a few times. There are two left.
You look inside momentarily. There are wires scattered about as well as a wire cutter on the floor. There are a few bolts next to a panel that was taken off the housing for the electric motor that rotates the turret, with four lengths of wire running from the motor into a pair of rectangular boxes sitting on the gunner's seat.
Wait, those boxes look familiar. The markings are in English! They each read:
