There are no remaining boxes. None at all. Dermonster was very thorough.
These boxes, the ones that are a threat to somebody other then insane companions:
Background Roll [6]: Everybody sees the first two parachute boxes touch the ground and fall apart. SHADOWdump witnesses as two sleek, black feline beasts lazily stand up and move out. They seem to covered in metal armour underneath that fur - probably genetically-engineered hounds with robotic brains.
The rest of the boxes are still on their way.

Oh, sorry, thought you meant the containers in the warehouse. Technically, only SHADOWdump would know about those but I guess he shouted the information to the rest of you.

Board skarmee and have her fly quickly over Derek, snatching him and his inventions up onto skarmee. Use Derek's reality bender to turn the friction on the hostile beasts to max. Give skarmee a bit of food and have her cool her heels overhead.

The PRB is IMPLANTED in my hand. like, under, above, and in between the skin and stuff.

Why do you insist on stealing my things? Your not a master of string theory.

Oh, sorry, just trying to save you and make your inventions useful as you nearly had your brains blown out. I'm fixing my action then.

or, you know, just try to help me NOT DIE.

Biting sarcasm is really hard to pull off and not come out sounding like a jerk.

I feel that i am failing. FYI i hold no animosity for you trying to steal my organs and the thing that very possibly makes me a demi-god.

Hum that was either a typo for demi-god, or you are a part of a god, such as his left big toe.

demi-god works, but I was trying to convey a feeling that I control the fabric of reality.
That pretty damn well makes you a god.

Wait, sarcasm? I wasn't being sarcastic. I was making an effort to keep you alive (I.E. Pulling you off the ground out of reach of whateverthehellthosethingsare). Sorry if i sounded like a total ass.

Scavenger Bot, dude... Those things freak me out... Go smash 'em with that piledriver mmkay?
Meanwhile, I look around for anything interesting in the vicinity that looks like it could restock my supply of parts.

[5+2=6] You order the scavenger bot inside to smash the beasts' skulls in, and it's happy to do so. [2] It hovers towards the second one. [Dodge:3][BP:2][Damage:6+1+1-1=6] The bot suddenly accelerates and catches up with the beast, holding the pile driver up high. With a free arm, it holds the beast in place. With the one holding the pile driver, it slams the machine down onto the beast's back. It dies instantly, spine reduced to white powder. [4] You find wreckage from the exploded Watch car and gather some of it.
 
Some Scrap Metal added to Inventory!
A Few Mechanical Parts added to Inventory!
 
I name my AI... whatever it wants. If it wants me to give it a name, I'll go with Tux. I then look around for a way out of this building.

[3] You tell the AI it may name itself whatever it wants, but if it can't come up with anything, you have Tux to offer. It takes it's time before answering, in a perfect human voice - female, most likely chosen based on your gender. ' Until an acceptable alternative has been determined, Tux is acceptable.'
It returns to the AI Library with that, but after a while, continues. ' Current shell inefficient and wasteful. Must be replaced. This vessel also lacks connection to any wide-spread network, preventing full use of my abilities. I require both things as soon as possible.'
[2] You fail to spot the giant two metal doors everybody else is heading for somehow.
 
I set my grenade to airburst, and fire it in such a way that hit hits as many of the remaining boxes as possible.

[5] You head outside, spotting the other boxes. [3] You manage to load the grenade launcher after some struggling. [3] Unfortunately, you don't think you'll be able to hit more than one of the boxes. Still, you take the shot. [BP:1][Damage:3+1=4] The grenade arcs nicely straight below the box and detonates. The box is torn apart and the beast's head shredded. [4] The explosion also guides the parachute's remains, and the beast with it, away from the platform and to the bottom of the Descent.
 
High Explosive Grenade removed from Inventory!
 
Set my PRB to regenerate my wounds.

[Survival: 4+2=6] Your condition continues to improve, but you're not doing anything just yet.
 
Head towards maintenance,,,, and hope there's fuel and energy there... or else poor spider-bots gonna have to get left behind.

[5] You take the corridor saying Maintenance, and continue along it until you reach the actual room. A single worker is there, sleeping against the wall. [3] You find a single oil canister in the corner and take it. [5] The man doesn't wake up.
 
1 Canister of Cheap Oil [20/20] added to Inventory!
 
Board skarmee and have her fly quickly over Derek, snatching him and his inventions up onto skarmee. Use Derek's reality bender to turn the friction on the hostile beasts to max. Give skarmee a bit of food and have her cool her heels overhead.

[2+1=3] You, with some help by Skarmee, board it and fly to Derek. [3] You begin cutting a piece of his arm off so you can get the PRB, but it seems to be stuck somehow. Nevertheless, if you continue cutting you'll get it soon enough. [5] You also feed Skarmee a bit.
 
2 Bags of Food [40/40] reduced to 2 Bags of Food [30/40]!

Quote from: Cyborg Beast 1
Hunt.
[5+1=6] The first beast continues hunting despite the other's death. [6] It goes for a soldier this time, [Dodge:2][BP:3][Damage:2+2=4] cutting apart his right arm and sending him flying, still screaming. The rest of his squad prepare to fire back.
 
Quote from: Parachute Boxes
Land.
[5] Only one of the four remaining boxes manages to land, fortunately. A third beast emerges.
 
Quote from: Cyborg Beast 3
Hunt.
[3+1=4] It roars and charges [7] inside, heading for another soldier. [5] The squad it attacks scatters and runs as it comes, avoiding it's wrath.
 
Quote from: Soldiers and Captain
Bring them down!
[1] Apparently, the squad the first beast attacked wasn't so ready to fire back, after all. Only one manages to do so. [5][Dodge:2][BP:6][Damage:1] Incredibly, the shot simple bounces off the beast's armor and hits the wall instead.
[3] Three manage to shoot at the third beast. [4][5][6][Dodge:4][Dodge:2] Two hit it. [BP:1][BP:3][Damage:6][Damage:5] The men prove to be incredible marksmen, both scoring hits at the weakest possible points of it's armour. Their shots drive deep inside it's body, underneath the metal. While it's still screaming in agony, the men walk over and bash it to death with the butts of their rifles.
