Another method would be to make the Terminal graphic completely transparent, and surround the corpses with transparent walls that have the Terminal texture. Chris Komarnicki used this technique in the now-defunct scenario Killing Time. It looks much better, as it completely does away with the 1-pixel-thin (but still there, and still ugly) line of terminal texture that inevitably appears with the "put the terminal on the floor" method. The disadvantages to this method are usually that this has to be done with every terminal, and a new shapes file has to be created. However, there aren't any terminals that could be done "normally" in PiD, and there'll be a new Shapes file anyway. So I'd reccommend this method.
Ah, and I just thought of something! (I feel so smart now.) Have the Yellow Crystal on a Light Trigger polygon, triggering the light for all of the terminal graphics on the level. That way, the terminals will be disabled until the player picks it up. Of course, there'd still be the problem of "charging" it...
