Activated OMEGA ORDER
Initial Text
Without any guards around, its easy to make your way to the deepest parts of the complex. It's a little claustrophobic here, especially under dim red emergency lighting.
You do find an administrative office buried in the furthest corner of the complex, almost hidden away. A cracked, but strangely still dressed, skeleton lies in a pile of gore near the door.
Further in, you can see a strangely normal cubicle complete with desk and a powered-down computer.

Choice Text and Results
Seach the Corpse
(First time)
You check over his body quickly. He had a key and a few cred chips in his pocket.
Other than that, he was wearing fairly unremarkable clothes that are now soaked in gore.
You found: MSPSSP key
You found: 2 fresh cred chips
(After the first time)
You search him again. He hasn't changed at all since last time, other than not having another copy of the key and cred chips.
Actually, that's a little weird. Normally, his… remains, such as they are, would be starting to discolor at the very least.
But you wouldn't be able to tell he died more than a few minutes ago, if you hadn't already seen the body.
Open the desk
(First time (no MSPSSP key)
You step over the corpse and tug at the desk's drawers. They're all unlocked and empty save one that steadfastly refuses to open.
The temptation to blow up the desk is definitely there, but it'd just ruin any papers they might be storing.
(With an MSPSSP key)
You step over the corpse and tug at the desk's drawers, finding them all unlocked and empty save one. The MSPSSP key turns in the lock easily.
The drawer is filled with a stack of notes.
You pull out all the ones that aren't just inter-office memos and leave the office to the dead.
You found: 5 stacks of Southside lab notes
(or, condition unknown:)
The drawer is filled with a stack of notes. Some are printed and some are written.
You grab the handful that look interesting and leave the office to the dead.
You found: 3 stacks of Southside lab notes
(After the first time)
You step over the corpse and recheck the desk's drawers. Nope, they're still emptied out.
Check the Computer
You step over the corpse to examine the computer on the desk. It's definitely fried. It won't even turn on and, probably more damningly, there are scorch marks around its exhaust vents.
Or with the salvaging tools equipped
You step over the corpse to example the computer. Yeah, it's definitely fried. It won't even turn on.
You crack open the case and salvage what little you can.
You found <4-5? of>: 1-2 circuit fragments, frayed cable, memory stick, 1-2 microcapacitors, processor chip
