Follow along with Pathos and join him data looting. And some regular looting, if I happen to spot any goodies out in the open.

Don't pick up any physical items myself though, they might be trapped. Have brobot pick them up for me while I wait at a safe distance.

"We are employees, not slaves. Our job is to try and turn this bastard in alive, if that's not up your ally you were free to sit this one out, and in fact you are still at liberty to return to the entrance and wait for the reclamation team to open up the airlock if you are not willing to try and help us capture him alive. But, as per our briefing, killing him on purpose will bring the Auditors down on our necks, and as we saw in our previous mission, 'mercy' does not seem to be in their employee handbook. Shooting him indiscriminately is probably the most dangerous thing we could do."

During mission briefing it was mentioned that the person briefing us (anime ape?) could act as our mission control. I think it was also mentioned that we could send them text messages. Send a private text message to see if they are indeed receiving messages and if they can reply (something like "test message to see if you guys are receiving, please confirm if yes").

Then onwards I guess. Keep the scanner out. Make sure not to touch the remains of what was in that tube.
EDIT: let the bot go in first and don't go in until I've confirmed it won't be another round of friendly fire.

Find computers and plunder them for their data booty. I need them to tell me what happened here.

Physical Description: A Chihuahua-sized robotic spider. It's entirely mechanical but has a very organic design to it. The mechanics are hidden inside an smooth exoskeleton of metal painted with a matte thin rubber that hides the joints and insulates it. Essentially imagine a giant tarantula but apparently made of hard rubber, a camera instead of a head, and mechanical manipulators instead of mandibles. It is painted a very dark grey, almost black, blending with the shadows.
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.

Name: Edward Paganini Scrum
Description: Edward has the look of a grumpy boulder, an impassive craggy face with lumpy, half swollen features. Once he made deal with a dog-sized flea in the cargo hold of a helium trawler near Jupiter. That trawler never made it back to port, but Edward did. He's been itchy ever since. Sometimes he sees things in the machines he fixes, sometimes he knows things he shouldn't. He won't talk about how he got here, what he intends to do, or what the deal he made was. He is quiet, fatalistic, distant, but prone to occasionally ramble with a distant look in his eyes. He's 36, but he looks 60.

Bob

Bob begins eating whatever bits of flesh he can find among the glass, fabric, and metal shards.

The team moves forward into the area, sweeping slowly. Everyone makes sure to stay behind Wilfred, at least in a physical sense if not in a metaphorical one. Occasionally he will open up with his cannon, shredding anything that could send a signal or otherwise cause tomfoolery. Pathos and Ed only just manage to look into the mainframe computers before Wilfred "Removes the threat" again.

The area is remarkably empty, at least in terms of threats. This place was a medical sector by the look of it and it has been used heavily. Hanging from walls, both in rooms and in the halls, are full size black and white paper posters of hundreds of people. They're all pictured in the same way; naked, staring straight ahead, always shot from the navel up, with both arms slightly out, palms facing the camera. Many are simply that, but others have been marked on with red marker, lines and circles, short annotations and notes. Almost every time they're marked, it is focused on the right arm, right eye, or bits of flesh from across the chest. The notes make reference to things being "Too long" or "Wrong texture" or "Unfit". The surgical suites are clean and sterile but, judging by the data of their use and the state of the supplies, they were used far more than normal. The storage rooms are packed floor to ceiling with organic sample tubes: human arms, eyes, teeth, bits of flesh and skin suspended in greenish nutrigel and stacked like firewood with no labels. There are no signs of the bodies they came from. Finally, there is only one room thats locked: A surgical suite. Its locked with a "Contamination warning" lockdown.

A careful review of the data regarding this sector, making sure to avoid camera feeds or anything like that, reveals the following: The surgical suites were used a total of 291 times. No logs were kept on their usage except automatic logs of vital signs and the like. Of the 291 uses, 57 resulted in recorded deaths. Employee tracking shows that the majority of living employees are in the sealed room. The subject's location is unknown.

"Well that's helpful(?)."

Note: the person briefing us was the NPC speaking in yellow (also an ape I believe, but maybe not anime-ape?), who understands space-English. Either way, since Yagyu received a response he'll assume command is receiving messages and will send the following private message if Wil continues to behave erratically:

Quote

Employee Wilfred is suffering from what looks to be PTSD and is planning to kill the person we are tasked with retrieving. Would it be possible to disable his guns or, if not, to break the connection between his simulated consciousness and the body he is currently inhabiting from your end? If yes, please be ready to do so should it prove necessary.

"Welp, guess he's in there somewhere. Maybe he had his appearance modified, or maybe there will be a big Frankenstein waiting for us in there.

Then again, he could also be waiting for us in sector A, where the PA system got hacked from. I could always weld that surgical suite shut from our side so we can explore more of this and the next sector safely."

Get into hard cover but with sight of that door. If it gets opened this turn by either a teammate or from the inside, goop whatever is in there to the floor (do not goop face so as to not suffocate it). Prep a private message for command to disable Wil, send it should it look like he will harm our target.

If that door isn't opened this turn and no other shenanigans occur, check where the door to sector A is.

"Recommendation: medics should restock their supplies with the help of .
Recommendation: Wilfred should leave the room until summoned."

Knock on the door, yell "I've got that pizza you ordered!" and then drop my mining charge and get to a safe distance. (If someone with better speech is willing to impersonate the pizza boy I'm fine with that.) That way, if whatever comes out is dangerous I'll be able to just blow it up.

Go search the tube that will "pacified" to try to figure out what the deal is (unless someone already did and I wasn't paying attentions).
Afterwards, see if anything in the lab looks valuable. Maybe some organs that would go for a penny on the Blackmarket?

Continue looking around for anyone in need of chiropractic care/exorcism. Begin to consider how to set up a society of Ed once this mission's over.
