"Unfortunately, you don't have your brain uploaded, so sending you in is more risky if things go awry. Then again, I do sometimes put my foot in my mouth...
If I go in, would any of you be willing to take care of my stuff for a bit, and to give it to my clone should I bite the dust in there?"
If any and all talking takes speech rolls these days, let Tara go do the talking. If we can still do (some of) our own talking, go in myself. If the latter, leave my stuff with Wil or Tara, except for the computing cube, which should stay on at all times so my teammates can listen in.

So according to the big bone, I only need to roll the dice when you're trying to convince someone of something they really don't believe and that you're trying to get them to believe relatively quickly, or for first impressions. So think of it kind of like a charisma that can be used to smooth things over or force them, but normal speech works too.
Continue with good old fashioned OMNI-brand pessimism.
Name: Ji Fuchikoma
Physical Description:
A Short, Athletic, and Absolutely Stacked Girl, who has an uncanny resemblance to an anime character. She has pale freckled skin and, fiery red hair, and large ember green eyes. She as a pair of fox ears and a fox tail.
She is a Waifu-Bot based on an avatar from the Waifu Assassins Guild series.
Tall, Skinny, Pale, Gaunt. Almost bald even though he can’t be older than 30. Patchy and scruffy stubble that goes all the way down his neck. His eyes aren’t soulless per se, but they have unnaturally white irises, and are filled with a certain, determination.
Background:
Once known as Woldo, a gamer who replaced his physical body with a android based on his famous video game avatar.
Stuart. He was always an odd child. He wanted to be skilled at killing people even as a small child. His parents were very wealthy, and very overprotective of him. Instead of getting him karate lessons or into sports, they got him the most state-of-the-art simulation entertainment system money could buy. He got good at what he did. By the time he was 10, he was the number one Waifu Assassins Guild IX player in the world. However, once he got old enough, it was time to get a job. And since he’s literally good for nothing else, and he fancies himself a killer, he decided to join the Omni-tech security crew.

If Yagyu lets me, go in
"We should come to an agreement as to what our ambassador is going to say before we send them in. I think going with the medical inspection would be the best option for rescuing all the hostages with mininal risk, though if we're going with that then I have to be our ambassador, I think I'm the only one qualified to answer any medical questions."
Go in and talk if I'm elected as ambassador, otherwise just stand around and look helpful.

I Volunteer to be ambassador! Float to the front and start haunting the roboknight. Be sure to be extra anachronistic, and also be sure to talk about things utterly unrelated to whatever they are doing or whatever the team is trying to do - hockey, or the categorization of mildews and molds, or the various flaws in the Dewey Decimal System, or other equally exciting topics.
Be part of the ambassador’s entourage stay tight.

"I vote for Yagyu, I don't think a teenage girl is a suitable diplomat. Yagyu, I'll hold your stuff for you, and I can patch in to your video feed too, since I guess our tech expert just left to go exploring vents."
Grab Toby and keep him from running off with the "ambassador".
"No, Toby. If you run in there they'll shoot you and Yagyu both. They said ambassador, singular. We might be able to talk them into letting two people go, but even then it should be--can't believe I'm saying this--it should be the little girl. Not a creepy occultist with a tentacle."
Name: Wilfred Seven
Physical Description: He looks identical to Wil Wheaton. That's because he's an identical clone of Wil Wheaton; he actually can't even shave, or even change his hair or anything, it always grows back to the default form within a day. Scarrification might let Wilfred change his appearance, but he's not really up for that.
Background: He was batch manufactured along with nine other Wheaton clones, for use in some film that he's never heard of and was never involved with; only the three "best" clones were actually selected for use in the film, while the other seven--really, the other four, Wil Three survived less than a week--were sold to OMNITECH as cheap labor. Somehow, OMNITECH decided to hire Seven, rather than just enslave him, although he's not really sure what the difference is. Notably, Wilfred's flaw that disqualified him from being selected is that his mind is nothing like the famous actor, and he actually hates being compared to the man.

There is a bit of a fracas, a bit of a tangle, bit of an argument and one ghost attempts to...help but luckily the KNIGHT seems not to notice him. Eventually Yagyu steps forward as the representative. The KNIGHT opens the makeshift door to the tunnel in and motions for Yagyu to come in.
"Your footmen can wait here for the moment. Lord has to ok their trespass into his lands."
*excited robospider noises*
Start exploring the vents. Try to be quiet about it and be careful not to accidentally walk into a fan or something. If it's the sort of place one can get lost in, use glowspray to mark the way at intersections.
I'm interested, in order of priority:
*Security stations/control stations
*Research documents/computers
*Hostages
*Life support systems
*Traps and weapon stockpiles
While exploring, keep an eye out for enemy positions and do my best to stay away from them. I don't know how good their senses are and I don't want to risk it.
Name: Pathos
Physical Description: A Chihuahua-sized robotic spider. It's entirely mechanical but has a very organic design to it. The mechanics are hidden inside an smooth exoskeleton of metal painted with a matte thin rubber that hides the joints and insulates it. Essentially imagine a giant tarantula but apparently made of hard rubber, a camera instead of a head, and mechanical manipulators instead of mandibles. It is painted a very dark grey, almost black, blending with the shadows.
Background: Delusions of grandeur. Took this job as a way to rapidly advance the ranks and see cool things. And because it would give him plenty of opportunities to set things on fire without his superiors being close enough to yell at him. Lost his original body in a freak shuttle accident.
