Try to find a corpse, remove the stomach, and throw the stomach at the corpse in the gears. If the stomach breaks on contact, the acid should dissolve it.
[5][3]
Tara searches about for a corpse that she believes to be a likely candidate for having an easily accessed stomach. Once she finds one she gets to work on accessing that stomach. She has no knife or even a sharp object so she has to go about it through sheer brute force, tearing flesh and ripping chunks out until she discovers the goal of her search: A human stomach. She twists it around several times and the rips it free with a sound that causes everyone around her to feel at least a little nauseous. She carries the sack of human digestive acid over to the stuck gear and squeezes the contents out onto it like a particularly horrid tube of toothpaste. This causes everyone around her to feel EXTREMELY Nauseous.
But, and this is the very odd part, it seems to work. Not right away, it takes a few minutes, but eventually the corpse bits seem to grow soft and start sluicing and crumbling away. The bones remain intact however, but the sticky flesh and viscera are gone.
((I like your style Naturegirl1999.))
Check out the path meant to be used by shuttles. Any sign showing where it leads?
Is there some sort of crane that moves the shuttle along the path or do I have to drive through it?
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 checks out the shuttle path. [11] He discovers the following via various actions of poking about:
1. There seems to be an automatic system for shuttle guidance in the tunnel. Just let it take over and it should direct the shuttle down the tunnel with no issue.
2. This tunnel seems to lead to the gateway back home.
3. The door at the other end is electronically locked but not physically locked.
(somebody may have already done this and I’m just blind, in which case please ignore.)
Do a thorough search of the incoming and outgoing crates. Specifically, see if there’s enough medical supplies to be useful to us, enough stuff to fill a repair kit, and any ores that might be valuable. Take anything that looks like I could sell it for a lot.
If I’ve got time, search the body in the control room.
If I’ve still got enough time after that, check out the door at the bottom of the slope.
Name: Pike Sherman
Physical Description: Tall and spindly. His teeth are chrome plated. He has shoulder-length gunmetal grey hair. His eyes are pale blue. He often has an unnerving grin across his face.
Background: His twin brother was a typical rags to riches mobster Cinderella story. Unfortunately Pike was far to stupid to make a successful mob boss, so he pulled security for his brother. After a “misunderstanding” between him and his brothers wife, we was ousted from the mob, and ended up here.

Pike thinks that there are enough medical supplies scattered around in the various crates to be combined into an effective med kit.
He also apparently got a copy of the script because he's attempting to search a body no one has told him about and that was just discovered by a single person last turn.
Listen Pike, I understand that the overwhelming desire to grave rob is a thing that apparently this entire security crew suffers from, but lets at least try to keep it restrained by the bounds of cause and effect, shall we?
Wait for Tara to throw the stomach, then if it fails try to burn the corpse away with my Cutting/welding torch in a way that doesn't damage the gear system.

Harold attempts to burn the remaining bones away with his torch. [2] Unfortunately the attempt results only in filling the room with the smell of burning bones. Which is...well its a very odd smell. Sort of chalky?
Check what the corpse has on it and take it, then check out that axe (though if anyone with actual melee skill wants it they get preference).
Check if the cargo elevator works, don't get on it.

Grab that axe from Yagyu. Otherwise, wait for the elevator to be fixed. As tempted as I am to try and solve the problem via gun or axe, neither seems like a good fix.
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.

The corpse has a computing cube on it, along with red and green electronic keys. Yagyu pockets all three, making a mental note to check the contents of the cube. He then checks the ax. He tears it free of the monitor in a spray of sparks, glass, and ruined electronics. Its a fire ax (d8).
He then meanders back out and checks out the cargo elevator, ax resting on his shoulder. The cargo elevator is locked down but a swipe of the green key unlocks whatever was holding it back. It seems undamaged and ready to go. Yagyu stands back and admires his work when he notices a noise. A repeated noise. A repeated noise that is growing closer. It seems to be a voice...saying something.
"
MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE!!!"
Wilfred does a flying leap and snatches the ax from Yagyu's hands. He combat rolls as he hits the ground, jumps up, holds the ax out in front of him, and then runs back the way he came, making high pitched noises.
Yagyu is nonplussed.
Search for a lighter and a combustible fluid.
Name: Elen Farley
Physical Description: Short with long brown hair and green eyes, she seems unnaturally cheerful.
Background: Elen showed up shortly after an incident in one of the OMNITECH labs, she decided to work for OMNITECH mostly out of convenience of already being there.

Though a lighter eludes her, Elen does find a 5 gallon metal container of fuel in one of the cargo containers. It even has a nice warning label that denotes it as not just flammable, but extremely flammable!
Watch the unique attempts to fix the problem. Then, if the elevator is working, take everyone waiting to the temporary storage area.
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.

Though this elevator remains blocked, Wilfred is nice enough to let Fred know that the other cargo elevator next door is currently working.
He tells Fred this in between stroking his newly acquired ax and giving the remaining bones in the gear system meaningful, borderline lusty, looks.
