I Just Noticed, in Ishtar Academy... [Hey, Look - No Hands! Thread]

So, the mission, "The Archive" - when you have to go into the Ishtar academy to secure data and Grayliks infiltrates, leading to a fight. You pass some skeletons when you initially enter the doors - the ones locked with the Radial A encryption, remember? Well, years of Fallout have taught me to pay attention to the objects, particularly skeletons, that are placed in a scene, because they often tell a story. The particular story here I wasn't sure about - there are some skeletons strewn about, one looks like the decedent was sitting at the time, another couple are entwined on the floor, another lies clean, facing upward to the ceiling. I figured they might be research crew or engineers or some such, locked in there when The Golden Age collapsed suddenly around them. But then I noticed [i]none of them have hands or feet[/i]. That would paint a far more grisly picture, but I'm having trouble putting together a plausible narrative. If the archive were infiltrated, why not just kill them? Clearly they had time to themselves after being maimed, left to bleed out. It's unlikely they did this to themselves, since one would expect a tool nearby and at least one hand among them. Or, ya know, someone was a little sloppy with the geometry assets and just forgot to toss some hands and feet in there. But I like to think this was intentional. Any ideas?
