Ah, the rush of P12. It makes everything so clear.
The flashing light and the squiggly lines is obviously a tracking device. The red light is probably the escaping truck, complete with Ghost, and the lines are a topographical map of the area around the truck. From the map and depth readings on the side, the truck is speeding along an underground passage, heading East. Based on your understanding of topographical mapping and the distance markers represented on the map you hold, the truck is doing nearly 200 kilometers per hour.
The memory card distracts you before you run out to tell everyone of your find. It is made to fit nearly all terminals, including the one before you. As a precaution, you disconnect the terminal from it's network before you put the card in.
Sense Motive: 21
Immediately, the card releases a complex virus, obviously created to wipe out all research data regarding Anaconda and it's serums. It's also emitting a high pitched whine which indicates that it is likely laced with some sort of explosive to destroy the card, terminal and anyone without sufficient protection in the room, and prevent anyone from reversing the damage to the network. That would explain why Anithos made it appear that the computer had exploded.
Hmmm.... unlike Anithos, you don't have a force field...

You (the real you), notice Loki fiddling with something in the office nearby. You seem to recall that office basically blowing up in mid fight, but it seems undamaged now.
Everyone Else
As the wounded are being prepared to be carted out, security and Loco secure Mason as a scientist injects him with something. Mason doesn't stir as they prepare to take him into the elevators.

Initiatives: Jackal 28 (4HP, 1S), Sho 23 (1VP), Kevin 22 (5HP, 2S), Dara 20 (3HP, pinned, blinded, 2S, stunned), Xi 15 (1HP), Li 14, Warriors (8) 14 (1-no stoneskin), Havok 13, Amazon 12 (3HP), X12 10 (3HP, 7S, KO), Carl 4 (5HP, 1L)
Kevin charges past the two warriors and at Sho. He reaches her and tries to touch her, but her force field repels his attack. She glares at him, dancing aside to keep Kevin between Carl and herself.
Attack roll: 11 (HP 19) hits
Damage save (DC14): 18 succeeds
Dara tries to break free of her grapplers, but their strength overpowers her. Xi is quick to dispatch the gang member before him, then turns and moves towards Dara and her attackers. Li kicks the man who punched her in the head, and he drops to the floor, his armor turning to powder and part of his skull rolling across the floor.
Behind Carl now, a warrior slams his fists into the back of Carl's neck. Distracted by his attempt to kill Sho, he has forgotten to raise his force field and staggers briefly to his knees! The two attacking Jackal fail to touch the nimble werewolf, while the one attacking Li rings a punch off her arm fins. Grappling with Dara, both men press their advantage. One slams her to the ground, hand still over her eyes and the other drops his knee hard into her stomach.
The two warriors that Kevin ran by pursue him, slamming into him, one high, one low. Their attacks aren't well timed, and only one impacts Kevin in his chest.
Attack rolls: 13 (VP 14), 16
Damage save (DC25): 21 (1S)
Damage save (DC9): Warrior 9
Raisa looms over X12, looking ready to deliver another blow to the unconscious healer!
Carl gets up from his knees and opens his mouth towards the warrior. A blast of vibrating energy strikes the man behind him! The man's stone hide disolves, and he crumples to the ground.
X12 is up, if he wants to try to regain consciousness... you know, so he can see it coming...
