Fear and Loathing in R&D
The main piece of equipment that should be sent is the Mark IV Bio Battle Bot which the team will need in a number of situations in this mission. The Techs will explain that it it's powerful arms and floodlights will be helpful in a sector who's power grid is unstable, plus it has the added benefit of some security and environmental protection in what may be a hostile environment. As a final benefit, they might add, whoever is inside won't have to walk on floors covered in spilled, partially-recycled goo.

Also being sent: Foam Grenades. The Techs want them to be tested in a field environment, and this seems like the perfect place. Each team member will be issued 1 foam grenade and the paperwork required to evaluate their performance in a live-fire testing.

And finally, the techs will want the team to test out their new Blade Gun. The weapon is nearly ready for standard issue, but the techs think it could use a bit more banging around in the field to flush out any further issues.
