((Can someone who can get down to the weird spinny thing open the doors?))
after door open scout with drones cautiously
You send a drone in. The hall beyond the door is actually more like a ventilated pipe; a square hall with thin slats cut in the floor and ceiling. Steam is running straight through the hall with enough force to pin your drone the the ceiling.

"There's a giant spinny orb. I'm gonna poke it with a stick."
Cameyes the orb, cameyes the two service exits, and cameyes under the orb.
If that reveals nothing poke the orb with a stick.
The orb is metal, very warm, spinning quite fast and apparently opaque to x-rays. You cannot see under the orb.
You poke the orb with a stick and its high speed spin and rough surface slap the stick out of your hands.
[TECHNOHELL]Climb down the shaft, since I'm pretty sure jump jets aren't rated for giving you a soft landing.
If I make this without crippling myself, attempt to open the door in the following steps:
1) Is there a handle or an obvious access button/panel. If so disregard following steps
2) Punch door with assaultsuit strength
3) slam AS-CAF-RP-Pm225: DECEITFUL IVORY, (Banner's Gamma Dong) into the door with assaultsuit's strength.
4) Skip straight to the inevitable conclusion and try blowing it open with a high-explosive grenade.

(Don't tempt me, baby)
Down we go, and over to mr. That-robot-spider-thing-from-wild-wild-west.
Oh, a check list for door opening. Very pragmatic. Milno is proud. Maybe.
1. There is a button. A strange button. It seems to be more of a mechanical push button than a normal electronic one. As you push you feel resistance, and then mechanical action. The door slides open slowly and jerkily, as though being moved by a gear system that paused on each tooth. Behind the door is even more heat and steam, so much so that attempting to peer through it is useless. Its like trying to see through a dense fog. A dense flesh melting fog.
Branching Fuckery
Re-open my portal on this branch of the lattice, jump back into my carry cage with whomever is brave enough to follow and launch brazen aerial assault's on the new amoeba's.
attempt to matter saver all of the limbs off of an amoeba, if successful encase it in a hardlight sphere and relocate my portal entrance in front of wherever it rolls.
Close portal if any fully functional amoebas get too close to it.
Hold on, black compression round preempting.
[Branching Fuckery]
be depressed that the amoebas can not be enlightened to wonders of the crystals. Also, try to cryatalize one of my eyes and see what happens.
...how? Specifically, what process are you using here.
[BRANCHINGFUCKERY]
"On it. Get ready to catch it before it decompresses."
Fire a black compression round from the arranger at the new amoeba-like creatures. Preferably hitting several and a fair bit of lattice as well, but just one on it's own would do it: don't incapacitate one directly adjacent to an unharmed fellow amoeba.
Then step aside and let Cthunkan grab the compressed point.
A black compression round eh? Well lose a point from a stat then.
You fire down onto the lattice and hit in the midst of most of the amoebas. A black sphere expands outward from the point of impact, engulfing all the ameobas, part of the large glowing section of the lattice, and very nearly you and your team several hundred feet away. It holds at that size for a moment and then compresses down in an instant. It crushes hundreds of feet worth of dense metal and strange alien things into a sphere the size of a basketball. Suffice it to say, there's nothing alive in there.

"Gentlemen, we may have our man."
Sneak on up to one of these new amoebas and see if I can steal a chunk with the Matter Saver and then bug out rapidly. Empty the current contents of my own Matter Saver into whatever storage solution Auron can be arsed to provide before brave theft.
If one amoeba notices and comes toward me, try to steal a bit of it before running the hell away. If a lot of them start coming at me, just focus on running like hell.
EDIT: If Christopher's attempt to compress an amoeba works, grab one of those and bug out.
Uh...Well you float down and attempt to grab the sphere but even in this gravity it has firmly embedded itself in a nearby lattice and you aren't strong enough to move it.
