So what's the deal with Crewmen? The new damage models make it clear they are at least partly human, unused suits are seen hanging implying there's something to "suit" in the first place, and Alad and the like have been seen wearing the bottom half of similar Corpus block-helmets.

So are these guys Corpus cyborgs? Perhaps indentured labor paying for their own body modifications? To what extent are they modified and why? Do they act in the footsoldier capacity they do willingly? Many have made references to a hive mind and "seucrity cyborgs" would probably benefit efficiency-wise from some kind of neural-networking, but how much of their mind does it control or displace? Are they greedy humans looking for careers with the corpus, are they mind-slaves, or just standard wage-slaves/indentured servants?

Why the strange vocalizations? Is it some kind of combat language, the raucuous expressions of a greedy soldier hoping for a big fat bonus check for killing a Tenno, is it some kind of "oh god help me a headcrab is on my face controlling me" mind slave cry for help?

Are these guys the scariest, saddest, most real-life relatable of the corpus's abominations, merely people imprisoned by usury and dependence upon cyborg maintaince that you must regrettably kill? Or are they the hilariously get-what-you-pay-for half-army, half mining-crew gang of would-be (if they had more space-dollars) Alad V's I've always thought them to be as I blew them away?

Best enemy, mysterious! I want a plush one!
