Why would goblins use Terran nucleic acids? Or, for that matter, human blood types?
((Well there are a number of plausible (although a bit improbable) scientific theories like panspermia or convergent evolution.
And considering this is fiction and we have gods (more likely advanced aliens), as evidenced by the prophecy of Us, That means those Ancient Austronauts could have been responsible for the existence or evolution of life both on earth and here.
Furthermore, goblins seem to be affected by caffeine in a similar way to humans and other terrestrial animals (although the effects are more extreme, probably because we can't metabolize it properly) which suggests some similarity.
And finally (if I had remembered this before typing all the above stuff I would have typed a lot less):

You think you understand something. The sigils this time are different, not in shape but in sequence. From the sigils a short while ago you see this sequence is vastly different.

Sounds like blood typing/DNA sequencing to me. But probably blood typing.

More likely DNA sequencing, something like this:

((These are blood types, I'm guessing.  But... A, B, AB, O.  I'm guessing that's what you mean by sigil.))
((I believe he means DNA sequence, you know (G)uanine, (A)denine, (T)hymine, (C)ytosine or (G)uanine, (A)denine, (U)racil and (C)ytosine if goblins use RNA))

Thinking hard, you put the vial back, step back, and start flapping your arms, kicking your leg back, and making several odd sounds. You get what you need by Donnels slack jaw and tilted head. Stopping suddenly and composing yourself, you again point to the vial and slack your jaw, tilting your head as well.
((I believe this is the best indication of intelligence we have given so far. I mean *I* would have never thought of that. Good thinking.))

He stands tall and waves an arm towards the room, with some of the odd language of the Tall Ones. Several in white coats scurry into the hallway.
((Let's hope we haven't gotten our friends into trouble.))

Try to show understanding and gratitude (thank him somehow?). If we get him to like us, we'd be less likely to be chosen for vivisection and more likely to be chosen about something useful or important.

Name:Flint - Team C - Radio Building, 2nd floor, mysterious locked door

"Just be careful not to demolish the building or, I don't know, cause the universe to implode or something." ((Much more likely that anything valuable and/or alive behind the door will be destroyed if something does go wrong IMO. Where's Jim and his door melting powers when you need them?))

Stand well back. And near a window if one is available. If Stacy doesn't manage to open a hole (and doesn't die horribly and/or causes the floor/building/universe to collapse) get my suit and try to chisel/force my way in.

"Well, looks like I'm useless without my giant metal rod. Do you want to give it a try with your magic calculator or should I go get my suit?"

If Stacy doesn't try to open the door first (or does but fails to open it) then get my suit and try to chisel my way in.

((Quite detailed notes you have there, Paris.))
((Well, out of necessity really, because of my crappy memory. If breathing wasn't instinctive one day I'd probably forget how to breathe and suffocate while walking down the street. Making notes about everything saves me from forgetting something important at a bad time. In this particular case it also saves the GM from my constant questions about stuff I forgot.))

Or if you don't need a couple of zombies you can just chop 'em up in small cubes (you know, like the ones in a chef salad? I think our human friend has some cooking knowledge. Or maybe there's a wood chipper around here... Or a giant blender.) and throw them in the water. If that doesn't make it infective I don't know what will.

"I find their method of treatment... interesting, to say the least. They must have been really, really worried about something if they felt that torching the entire area was the most practical, safe plan they could enact."
"Or maybe they just wanted to burn the evidence of what they had done."

Name:Flint - Team C - Radio Building, locked door

"Well, I don't think there's anybody inside but knock anyway. We don't want to scare them. I just hope whoever it is doesn't mean us harm. We're sitting ducks out here, all alone with no armor."

Examine the lock. Will shooting it or cutting it with the monoatomic razor open it? If so then cut it (but don't shoot it yet). Also look for any signs around here that may indicate what's in this room or what it was used for before all hell broke loose.

"I don't know if this is a good time to say this, but I found a datachip with a mail saying that the doctors were coming to treat the patients in this block. I think we can see for ourselves how that 'treatment' turned out. Lying homicidal psychopath bastards."

Don't non-grazer animals occasionally get fed when not in cages?
They only get fed when trained I think. The rest of the time they need nothing. It's what makes animal powered computers possible.

I'm really torn between sleeping, which is the safest option, or offering Donnell some liquid, where there is a low probability of danger and high probability of amusement. Hmmm...

Offer Donnell the cup of liquid. Try to look friendly and act like nothing is wrong. Also bare your teeth like these humans do when you meet  him. It's probably some greeting these predators use to show off to each other they are strong and we don't want to seem weak.

Even if we wanted to eat dirt, I don't think there's any here, since these strange aliens cover the ground of their tents with this strange smooth rock.

Name:Flint - Team C - Housing block C, outside the radio station

"Since they didn't react so well to the suit the two previous times we encountered any survivors, I'll leave it here and hope I don't get shot in the face." Flint said while getting out of his mining exosuit.

Get out of the exosuit and enter the building. Start exploring, gauss rifle at the ready. Try to not alert the whole building that we're here.

"Well, shall we?" Flint said, motioning towards the door.

The worst thing that can happen is we act like a gremlin and pull the self-destruct lever.

On another note, open the door slowly, listen for conversations behind the door or peek through the lock. We don't want to come face to face (or waist to face) with an unsuspecting alien.
