Out of the Frying Pan

So, here we are, waiting outside the doors to an underground base. There are apparently no cameras that I can access to see what's going on inside. I hate not knowing what's going on in there!! How dare they find ways to circumvent my innocuous observances!
 
While we try to figure out how we are going to proceed, WildThing listens at the door and (man she can sure use a lozenge) expresses that there are about 20 distinct heartbeats she can hear inside. I can't override the door because these systems are highly encrypted, they are obviously up to No Good (tm).
 
Sandcrab (my hero) tunnels through the wall into the next room, the rest of us follow through, We find 2 guard types and 2 nerdy types. We focus on attacking the guard types. Stevie zaps one of them into unconsciousness (or close to it). They are highly well equipped with force field belts and laser rifles! Course there are 5 heroes here so they don't stand much of a chance! WildThing uses a wind blast to force the agents into a corner, Sandcrab grabs a steel reinforced table and goes all WWE on the guards...
 
I turn to the nerds and try to intimidate them, unsuccessfully. They wouldn't give up any information about the tech security and refuse to hand over their fobs... Of all the nerve! Nerds, I guess I can't intimidate my own people! We let them go as we continue further into the base.
 
Maximum Resistance grabs one of the helmets from the unconscious guard to see if he can utilize some of its special abilities. At one point I grab the helmet from one of the guards and extend my senses into it, and suddenly I find the coolest thing, I've literally entered CYBERSPACE!!! There are tons of pathways in front of me, and I'm seriously tempted to follow them, cause this is SO COOL!! But I remember the other fleshlings and head back to my body.
 
We tunnel further into the building where we find a Doctor, a technician and 2 people unconscious on beds. The people on the beds are displaying some kind of infection from the boiling metal, supposedly from the ship above.
 
WindWalker attacks the technician while Max talks to the Doctor. The techie starts screaming that he's lost his arm and is flopping on the ground like a fish.
 
We weld the doors to other areas shut with Sandcrab & Stevie's attacks, then we head up the stairs...
 
Opening a door, we are met by a Burly, official looking man (who also is unintimidated by us - startling in its own right) who says "Well…it took you long enough to get here.”
