Take the Neural Remote and black keycard then look through the operations log, relaying what it says to everyone else.
"Now what do we have here?"
Name: Jack Hansan
Physical Description: Tall, rather thin looking man with black hair and brown eyes.
Background: His father was a security guard as was his father's father, so it was tradition by now to be one too. Of course, Jack would come to regret this path as soon as he arrived. Though, he does seem to know more than he is sometimes letting on...

Jack takes all the good good stuff and then starts skimming through the operations log. [1] The operations log, much like Jack himself, is pretty dense and obtuse. Its full of technical information and management jargon and various warnings against being read by anyone under a certain clearance level. He flips to one page, the intro to the section on lab 3, and glances at a QR code printed on the first page. He immediately drops to the floor and convulses as the implant in his brain offers him a mild incentive to change his behavior.

take the black keycard, the control remote and the schemantics.
Try to read the operation logs without getting bored and call the cultist so he can stuff the container with worm in one of their containment pods.
As Jack is in the throes of a disciplinary seizure Steve calmly walks over and steals the keycard and remote control from him, sticking them both into his bag along with the schematics for the MR. HANDY. He pries the log out of Jack's hands and proceeds to try and understand it. [3] Blah blah blah. Lab 1 was doing testing for biochemical compatibility of developed prosthetic; making sure the new arms wouldn't like...tear the shoulder out of its socket or cause massive graft vs host rejection syndrome. Lab 2 was developing the mechanical prosthetics, mostly just techno jargon. Lab 3 was looking into what the log calls "Utilization of extra-dimensional assets for enhancement or replacement of human biology or capacities." Mostly it seems to be they were grafting HELL materials into test subjects or printed duplicates. Most recently they were doing experiments with a specially bred "Symbiote".
"Eh, it was defective anyway. I'd write a strongly worded letter about its various problems if I cared enough."
First of all, if Pancaek doesn't post, drive his character to the vending machine and bump him into it until he can unlock it.
Then go examine (and pocket) the handy boy schematic.
If I have time, go examine that worm from a scientific, non-occult perspective. See if I can figure out what it is and if it is safe to move. But do so from a safe distance. I've learned my lesson after that cat incident: don't tap on the glass.
Name: Pathos
Physical Description: Scrawny. Has trouble changing his expression to anything that isn't concentration, boredom or smug superiority.
Background: Delusions of grandeur. Took this job as a way to rapidly advance the ranks and see cool things. And because it would give him plenty of opportunities to set things on fire without his superiors being close enough to yell at him.

Pathos, who knows about all this stuff somehow (Is that the script over there?), Grabs...Pancaek? Not sure who that is but we'll assume he was talking about whats his face, the guy with the Mr. Handy prototype clinging to his wrist. He grabs that guy and drags him into the executive section and, after some inappropriate touching, gets the thumb drive with the unlock code on it out of the man's pants. A quick insertion later -the thumb drive, mind out of the gutter- and the vending machine is up and running.
Attempts to steal the schematic are foiled by the fact that it has already been stolen.
[1] Hmmmm. Ah! When all else fails, follow the tenets of Carl Scheele! Ie, just fucking put it in your mouth. [2] Pathos attempts to get into the container via a combination of banging it on the table, biting at it, sucking on it, and swearing. This also accurately describes his general love life but I digress; he can't get the container open.
Go type "cat" into that fleshmatter printer thing that made the clothcat monster. Start the process, then immediately run away from the consequences of my actions before they hurt me. Then show up in front of Lab 3 whistling innocently
Name: Rezel Revel
Physical Description: Small, unassuming, twitchy, and nervous. Giggles quietly when scared.
Background: Signed up because he was told that security guards were given P90-like weapons, and basically went "Oh, cool, I love P90s!" He regrets this decision.

Rezel types "Cat" into the organic printer and then runs off giggling. He apparently doesn't notice the machine giving an error and not activating.
Jon stretches, looks around, and rubs his hands together.
"Guess I'll go check out the damage round here. Bet we sannies will get some good overtime on this mess. Too bad you didn't die, Pathos. We're having a hell of a time filling your bet quota.
Do a walkthrough of the whole lab except lab 3, charting the messes that might be janitorial's responsibility, for overtime purposes.

Jon wanders around, making a list of rooms that need cleaning. While lab 1 is basically clean...though it might need some recleaning after the cat incident...lab 2 is pretty messy, if not bloody, and there is still a fair amount of the rooms between the labs that can best be described as "A bit corpsey".
Go back to the lab and see if there is any loot left in lab 2.

There's no one working at a computer who has the black keycard, but there is one (1) Steve that has one (1) keycard. So Spuds picks Steve up in a fireman carry and carts him off towards lab 3.

Well, attempt to tackle. There is a high chance they're going to be tackled instead. Tackled like a train tackles a chihuahua.
