Unlock the locked doors. Don't open them though. Especially the ones leading to space those need to stay closed.
Then I'm staying in the shuttle. Shuttle is nice and safe.
Name: Pathos
Physical Description: A literal crash test dummy.
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. Lost his original body in a freak shuttle accident.

Pathos moves between the remaining doors, manually overriding the lockdown commands.
That done, he meanders back the shuttle in a way he hopes looks nonchalant and closes the entry hatch behind him.
Yagyu goes to check out a cargo box but is unsure of if he wants an outgoing box or an incoming box.
Check one of both.
If Pathos can unlock the doors: check what is behind them, but only if they don't lead into space or could be exposed to vacuum or I heard scratching in the walls or whatever. Do not open if unsure.

Yagyu looks into the crates. He finds that the inbound ones are filled with things you'd expect for a mining station. Parts for tunneling machines, supplies like food and water, medical supplies, sample containers, etc. The out bound crates are much the same: most are filled with processed ore, some "plugs" of metal, and other rocks and resources. The one he checks doesn't have a shard sample in it; those are apparently not in every crate.
He then goes to check on the other doors. There are three. One is human sized so he checks in there first. This one leads to a control room, where the main controls for the entire docking bay are, along with the radio system for hailing ships and other monitoring systems. These control systems have been smashed and hacked into, apparently with an ax. Yagyu can tell this because the ax is still embedded in the remains of one monitor.
There is one more body in here, but this one isn't a freeze dried vacuum mummy. Its a soft, squishy, corpse thats starting to smell bad. Its sitting against the back wall with no sign of how it died- likely the black pills again. Judging by level of decomposition they only died maybe a day or two ago at most.
The other two doors are shuttle sized, roughly, though only one seems clearly designed to be used by a shuttle. The first is a relatively long hall, still littered with boxes and anti-grav transport carts, that ends in a large freight elevator...or at least the vacant platform for one. The second door leads down a short sloping hall to another door.
Reload. Move ahead with Fred, and be ready to shoot any zombies found.
Name: He insists that it's "Wilfred Seven", and most definitely not "Wil" or "William"
Physical Description: He looks identical to Wil Wheaton. That's because he's an identical clone of Wil Wheaton; he actually can't even shave, or even change his hair or anything, it always grows back to the default form within a day. Scarrification might let Wilfred change his appearance, but he's not really up for that.
Background: He was batch manufactured along with nine other Wheaton clones, for use in some film that he's never heard of and was never involved with; only the three "best" clones were actually selected for use in the film, while the other seven--really, the other four, three survived less than a week--were sold to OMNITECH as cheap labor. Somehow, OMNITECH decided to hire Seven, rather than just enslave him, although he's not really sure what the difference is. Notably, Wilfred's flaw that disqualified him from being selected is that his mind is nothing like the famous actor, and he actually hates being compared to the man.

Attempt to fix whatever is wrong with the elevator, or at least find out what is wrong with it. Then, if I have time and the elevator is working, take the crowd following me to the temp storage area. Might as well see what we can find before visiting the probably hostile living quarters.
Also... Pathos. If I remember correctly your cognition copier would let you enter the base's computer network without using it up? It would be kind of cool to have someone in the network to unlock doors, do surveillance, watch us all die, etc.
Name: Fred Williams
Physical Description: A tall and lanky engineer. Light skin, dark hair, blue eyes. Younger, mid 20's.
Background: A computer engineer who decided that his first job out of college - programming microcontrollers to be 5% more time efficient - was boring. The possibility of combat -- Like Call of Duty but more realistic (according to the recruiter) -- was all Fred needed to decide that this was the career move of a lifetime. Well... that and it came with a class 3 weapons permit. (In the US, a class 3 is the extraordinarily hard to get collector permit (read: takes years and thousands of dollars and lots of training) that allows you to own fully automatic weapons made before 1970.)
Note: despite being a computer engineer, has an inexplicable lack of tech skills, yet can easily fix almost any mechanical problem. He has no idea why.

Fred, dragging along a half dozen less decisive teammates, starts looking over the elevator to find the problem. The problem is actually rather easy to find but fixing it is another matter. The elevator here is what is classified as a self propelled platform: Essentially a big metal plate with motors on four corners driving gears that fit into a track running up the four corners of the walls. The platform would climb or lower itself using these gears working in unison.
The issue is that one of these madmen apparently thought they could win a fight with an industrial electromotor and gear system. In a way, that unfortunate madman was entirely correct because their corpse has entirely gummed up the gear system of the back right gear, causing the system to automatically shut down. Removing a corpse that has been jammed into the thing both on top and under it is not exactly easy to do by hand. Maybe if he fire or something similar? Organic matter dissolving acid?
