Mission: info hijacking. Easier said than done, it turns out. Working alongside Weaver, Will has to focus most of his time and effort on this trip just so they can get the portal into operating condition, but he has several sets of spare helping hands who are happy to go dig around in R&D and try to get at all the info. However, they hit a few stumbling blocks. Much of the research is encrypted or password-protected, and they do not have the cracking skills to get in. Some of the passwords might be found around the lab if they do some searching, but that will take a fair amount of time.
In the password search, they aren't able to find any more old paper files from pre-darkness days - if any survived, they don't seem to be located here. There does seem to be a set of text files on one of the computers relating to that research, though the last access date was many years ago. Still, at least someone found time to transcribe it at one point. A glance shows it's very technical reading.
Stealing hard drives backfires quickly - a lot of what's stored in the station's systems seems to be located on a server that's locked up somewhere in the station, and any discussion of or attempt at walking off with one of the few hard drives that's in the R&D room is met with Weaver's immense displeasure and an insistence that they not remove those from the station or she'll have to start locking them out of the computers entirely. Copying is all right, she's willing to share, but theft is a step too far.
While they do find a few SD cards and USB drives to download some information to, these have limited storage space. Therefore, there is neither enough time nor enough space to download literally everything on this trip.
What would the group like to prioritize? Please pick one or two specific topics for this trip out of everything that was listed in the previous response (Alistair's research, pre-darkness research, general Night Market logs on all kinds of subjects, etc) and we will let you know in summary what they can obtain given their current limitations. If one topic is chosen they'll get more in-depth information on it; if they choose two, it will be a little more cursory for each. It should still be quite a bit either way - a few gigs of text files and spreadsheets is some dense content.
Mission: viscera. One of them finds a sturdy lockable sample container in the flooded spirit research lab, about 1 foot square, which should be sufficient to contain a piece of world eater flesh. Law can successfully transfer a piece of it into that container, and as long as the container is completely closed, they seem able to safely transport it.
The rest of the corpse still remains in the portal room, however, until they agree whether they want to put it in one room or another or ditch it into the lake, just let us know.
