Your e-ray vision will help you see through walls and such, but it doesn't act like thermographic vision.

By the way, your PDC does not have infrared recording. You also a have the multicorder, which came with the equipment we picked up. It is bigger, and better for filming. Unfortunately, you don't have an infrared filter for it.
In addition to the various comments we have heard, there are a couple of quick camera flashes. Then there is a lot of thumping and bumping in the darkness as people suddenly start moving around. You hear people groan. Homer starts shouting.
What the f#@~ are you people doing?
<Horton follows along rambling off a running commentary... until the lights go out that is.>
GM:
Tru
My mistake, it's Horton that has the multicorder, you're the equipment guy. I got confused for a moment.
Horton
The two camera flashes happen to go off right when you are looking towards the camera. You are blinded for a brief instant, and don't really get a look at where anyone went. A couple of seconds later, you do hear a some ruckus in one corner of the elevator, and a groan that sounded a bit like Boris's voice.
"I attack the darkness!"
GM:
<Horton feels around for someone.>
"Commies...?"

Logan
A gernade in this confined space will probably kill everyone...
Horton
Horton you feel around in the dark, and drive your hypo needle into flesh. You aren't sure whose flesh.

Tru suddenly lets out a squeal
Tru
You feel as though someone just jabbed you with something sharp- possibly a needle. It really hurt, and you can't but let out a squeal in surprise.
<Horton swings his arms fenetically in case the assailant wants a piece of him, too.>
"Is Boris stabbing people with the sword? Has he gone insane?"
GM:
A gernade in this confined space will probably kill everyone...
[/evil grin]That's what Logan is hoping for.
1]He was given the assignment to take out the Pro-Tech member. He's feeling like he's a little incompetent because he hasn't yet figured out who he is. Well, now he doesn't need to.2]Another motive is that, as a Frankenstein Destroyer, he needs to take out that robot. He's hoping that he'll get lucky and the grenade will destroy it, too.
3]Also, having died once, he realized that death isn't that bad when you are a troubleshooter. You get you come right back, pick up all your possessions and you're squeaky clean!
4]Besides, I just could not resist throwing a grenade in a crowded elevator.
5]You said, "Go nuts!"[/evil grin]
That said, if you want me to withdraw my grenade-tossing action, I will. :)
Another thing...
SUDDENLY THERE IS A BIG BOOM!
The next thing you know you are all sitting in a briefing room. You are the only ones in the briefing room. The only gear you seem to have is your red jump suites and boots and new PDCs.
Your memories are a little foggy. You have some vague memories of browsing some weird market, and flying around with a green citizen, but everything is very hazy.
You are feeling quite happy.
Greetings citizens. I regret to inform you that there was a commie traitor lurking among you party on your previous mission. That foul traitor detonated a powerful explosive in an elevator you were riding in. The resulting explosion, brutally maimed and/or killed your entire team, and destroyed the prototype bot that you were to field testing. Because, we could not be sure which team member was the traitor we could afford to take no chances, and the survivors of the explosion were terminated.
Due to the actions of this commie traitor the mission was a failure.
However, I am completely confident that your fresh new clones will be utterly loyal servants to Alphacomplex and your friend the Computer.
Enjoy the effects of some of our newest happiness pills, as citizen Pamela-B-JOB briefs you on your next mission.
Bummer
Team assignments will be changed with a new mission right? Also, will we receive new credits? Since every time I spend credits, I seem to die. So I have 5 credits...ish
Yes I think it will be time for a change Mandatory Bonus Duties for the next mission!
This new mission takes place some time later. You all have 500 credits in your account.
Did we die, and they waited a while to reactivate, or is there a time-lag between decantation and this briefing?
EDITED:
You died and then you were recanted and sent back to your service firm. It's been three days since your decanting. During that time you likely have had a chance to get back in touch with various contacts.
The elevator blew up. There wouldn't be much to retrieve, and since everyone was killed it's pretty much a fresh start.

Your comrades have recontacted you, and have given you a some new pamphlets to distribute. They have also learned that your new mission is scheduled to take you into a tech services training facility. There is a man in tech services named Yuri-O-KOF-5, he is a member of the commies, but your contacts believe he is spy for the computer. To aid you in killing Yuri they have given you a needle with a does of poison. It won't kick in right away and it will make it look like heart failure. You only have one good dose. It's green clearance. They want you to take him out. Continue to sabotage any mission that looks like it will benefit the computer.

GM:** spoiler omitted **
A busty woman in a blue suite enters the room. She has long blonde hair and obviously takes good care of herself. Due to your lack of libido you don't fully appreciate her assets, but even so you feel a slight tinge of stimulation, as though some deeply suppressed and latent portion of your psyche (and parts lower) has almost been awakened. Then again maybe it's just the medication.
You all smile. Though it is a little hard to maintain since you are certain that someone farted. You didn't hear anything, but it smells like a nasty decanting fart (though you've had a few days to get rid of those). The woman sniffs the air and her face crinkles slightly. For a second she looks like she might chirp, but she holds it together.
"Greetings citizens. My name is Pamela-B-JOB. I've been going through your files. It seems as though your first mission met with an unfortunate tragedy. Fear not, the computer is confident that this new mission will give you a chance to redeem yourselves and bring glory to Alphacomplex. This mission is not as glamourous as your previous assignment, but still vitally important.
Tech services has been reporting some unusual behavior from their vendobots in their Dev-Y institute- a training facility here in TPK sector. Your mission is to look for treasonous programming in their code, but this is a secret. Your cover mission is to stock these vending machines with a new brand of Algae chip- Happy Shapey Chippies. Why a cover story you may ask? Because the traitors may be mechanics in tech services. But what are the chances of that right? It's not like they have total access to the vendobots or anything. You'll have authorization to stock the vendobots as well, so they shouldn't get in your way. If they do I'm sure you'll know how to deal properly with things getting in your way."
For this mission you will be receiving new Mandatory Bonus Duties. Horton you shall be the team leader for this mission. Tru, you will be our loyalty officer. Boris you shall be our Happiness officer. Logan you will be the Recording officer, Bob you will be our equipment guy, and Tim you will be the hygiene officer for this mission.
We need you to get started on this mission right away. You can all thank me for having it here for you right now, and thus having saved you a trip to PLC outfitting. You will each get a box of Happy Shapey Chippies to stock in the vendobots. Don't eat them. Here are you three red laserbarrels (each). Horton take this certificate. If anyone hassles your team about doing your job present it to them (the sign reads- "WARNING these troubleshooters are stocking vendobots. Do not interfere or you may be liable for treason under more mandates than can fit in this space!").
If you find a vendobot with treasonous code, alert me at once. If the vendobot is normal, move onto the next. I am told there are only four vendobots in the facility, so they'll be easy to spot. When you are finished with all the vendobots in the institute return here for debriefing."
