Find a ghost anemone, name it Maurice, then feed a big ghost fish to it so that it's tentacles grow absurdly long. Then find some ghost clownfish, feed several ghost pirhanas to them and set them loose inside my anemone.
After that, go feed a ghost Narwal to a ghost horse to make an ectosea unicorn.
Then ... I want a milkshake, so let's go find some ghost cows and feed them a lot of ghost grass.
Jon drifts through the scene, a massive ball of tentacles and flesh sitting on his back, whipping its limbs around at high speed.
"You like it? I call him Fred the Wriggly. I'm gonna go find some more weird stuff to feed to it. Or...maybe to feed to myself. I now understand why the pac man ghosts were always so ravenous: being dead makes you very hungry." He floats back out. He returns a few moments later riding a creature that could be best described as a nightmare seahorse.
"He ate Fred. Its fine." And back out again.

follow the “medic”. If they ask, I am the assistant
Honestly I have no idea who the medic you're referencing is.
”Insect things? That’s interesting. Probably some other experiment gone wrong.
I’m gonna go ask the ape if he knows anything about them”
Leave the area and take the elevator up. Look for the ape and ask him about any labs that were near this one that worked on insects. I won’t be needed for a while
Name: Nikoli Ismenik
Physical Description: Nikoli or "Nik" for short is a relatively quiet and unassuming man. Few people are ever compelled to talk to him and the ones that do rarely remember much. In other words he's a background character. According to the file on record though, this is what he looks like:
A tall pale man with blue eyes and a gaunt look. I'd describe him as ugly, but not enough to be disgusting. I just feel pity when I look at him. The man is in his 30s yet he looks like he's been around for 40 years, and all of them were shit. He's just not the kind of person I'd want to talk to if I didn't have to.
Background: Nikoli first joined OMNI 3 years ago as a down-on-his-luck individual who had no more other options. With a backstory as common as they come, it's no surprise then that Nikoli quickly blended in with the other poor souls he worked with and functionally disappeared. Most would say he lived a dull life, but if one were to ever crack open that bald head of his, they would realize that he lived anything but.
Because the truth is that Nikoli was a spy, sent by the EXISE corporation to steal OMNI trade secrets and occasionally assassinate key personnel. As a janitor, few people ever payed him any attention and his kit granted him an excellent toolset for destroying evidence. During those 3 years while no one was looking, Nikoli managed to steal hundreds of documents and acquired a bodycount in the dozens!
The longer one stays on a job though, the chance to encounter bad luck increases until it eventually becomes inevitable. A few days ago, it was announced to Nikoli that he was going to be transferred. Apparently some idiots in another facility kept getting their sanitation officers killed, so he was randomly selected to be their next replacement. They told him to think of it as a promotion. Rather than being stuck inside an office or lab all day, he would get to do exciting field work! Nikoli had already burned enough documents to know what "field work" meant, but that wasn't what bothered him. Nor was it not being able to take his old possessions with him to his new workplace. What really crushed his hopes was the new uniform, that blasted rubber jumpsuit! How the H.E.L.L is he supposed to sneak into off-limits areas or strangle a guy to death if every step he takes sounds like a seal choking on a clown nose!
Hopefully command will think of something soon. Nikoli has made multiple attempts to contact them, but so far there has been no response.

Rather than walking all the way back upstairs, Nik just finds the nearest interoffice telephone and gives his ape overlord a call. He has to wrestle it out of the hand of a complaining cubicle dweller but some
gentle persuasion with the mop ends that conflict.
Insects? I'm not sure.....According to the records the labs around that one...Nothing about insects but there is one thing. The one to the south west was a chem lab working on some kind of enhancement serum. Info is above my pay grade and it was mothballed and sealed years ago, but if there were functional prototypes and insects in that lab, perhaps the two met and created the problem. Pretend that I was with everyone all along

Toots clears his throat and then looks around nonchalantly. Everyone looks at him for a moment and then returns to what they were doing. He nods silently to himself. Infiltration complete.
Hmmm... Where am I in relation to the king? Above? Below? Next to? Could I get below his throne? How about above?
Ideally, I'd like to be able to go both above and below. Some sort of wide open crawlspace or even better some sort of maintenance sublevel below the room would be just perfect.
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.

Pathos is high up on the wall to the left of the throne, going by the map. There are no vents below the throne and none that he can see directly above or behind. There is one closer, still on this side, but its is still a good 15 or so feet from the wall to the throne. He moves back, searching for a panel or something that would lead him to the interspace between the walls and floor of the lab pod and the raw stone it was built into. These pods are usually self contained, built in a cradle of suspension springs to isolate them from any seismic event, so there should be space out there. In his search he finds a hole in the ductwork and crawls down through it. He does indeed end up in a dark space seemingly outside the pod structure, but when he turns on his lights he finds that it isn't what he was looking for. He's in a smooth walled, cramped tunnel that appears to have been melted or dissolved away rather than dug, and all around him is copious amounts of greenish white slime and maggots the size of large dogs.

Charon attempts to tear some debris from the wall but thrusting his unprotected hands into a cluster of random metal and garbage pieces proves less than helpful and he pulls them back with several new cuts and likely a simmering case of tetanus.
((Do we even know IC'ly yet that the king is a scrawny idiot?))
Take possession of my inventory again and thank Will for guarding it. Make sure I am out of the way of the door, in case they start shooting.
"If things come to blows, I don't think we can take them in a fight, so I don't think there will be much rescuing from us in that case. Perhaps seducing the king would yield better results, and if it fails you could still resort to violence. As for the medical inspection story, I don't know if they king will care enough to fall for it, but you could try it. Perhaps don't call it an inspection though, I get the feeling this king doesn't take well to being told what to do."

Elen, no offense, but I think I’d we’re putting somebody behind enemy lines, it really should be a combatant.
Object to Elen being sent in, on the grounds that I would make a better candidate. Unless the guy wouldn’t rather TWO beautiful damsels for the price of one. In any case, I should probably leave my armor behind, and my not-easy-to-conceal weapons. However, Toby offered me his pistol, so I’ll trade him my rifle for it. Also, if I can find anything to wear that isn’t a security jump-suit, do so (Maybe somebody would be willing to trade jumpsuits? In any case, whoever wants to wear my armor until I get back is welcome to it.) Conceal the pistol and leave the baton. Approach the gate, looking as demure as possible.
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.

Elen starts to head towards the wall when Ji saunters up and pushes her back.
"Nah uh Baka, I'm taking this one."
"Why are you the one who gets to go?"
"Because I'm a stacked anime robot with a fucking gun hidden in my cleavage." And she demonstrates the truth of both statements with some tactical jiggling.
"Come on, We all know you're just that Waldo guy cosplaying as your chinese cartoon sexdoll."
"Ok first, I'm telling my Omnigram followers about that, so prepare to get canceled. Second, who better to understand the desires of a horny shut in than another horny shut in? You'd just scare him with your opinions and free will and unreasonable standards of hygine."
We don't need someone to go in and stroke his...Ego. We need someone to go in there and end this standoff. For god sake you think you're gonna flatter him into submission?
I was actually considering the use of diversionary tactics. And again the tactical jiggling.
