Commence machine-to-machine Interface, yes... Pathos states while excitedly wiggling his manipulator arms.
Connect to the server. First order of business is to find a map or at least a rough layout of the area. If I'm successful, use my limited Omniscience to direct people around the complex, if anybody asks for directions. This is going to be like a strategy game, except all my units are blind and drunk.
Ask Mr. Omni to regale me with tales of the chocolate land and sing of its people while I work. Count myself lucky for not actually being able to hear his unfiltered voice.
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.

[5] Pathos connects himself to the server and, after bypassing some rather distressingly rudimentary security, finds a map of the area. It is sadly too large to easily show:spanning dozens of levels and several square miles, but it does allow him to overlay his Omniscience tags and get further information on the state of the area. There appears to be a large fire burning in one section and a fair amount of destruction scattered about. The subject is either enjoying his free time or is trying to get out. Maybe both. There are time stamps associated with the damage, and there are still functioning live feeds from cameras in large sections of the facility. As he looks through these, Pathos notices that someone is accessing another console elsewhere in the restricted zone. They seem to be trying to get to the PA system.
Mr. Omni begins listing the ingredients of a OMNI brand chocolovely bar. It is roughly around "Tetramethylenedisulfotetramine" that pathos begins to feel relieved that he no longer eats.
Lock the door, then search the room for other entrances. Lock/block all of them. If successful in that, sit down next to Pathos, and equip blindfold. Tell Pathos that Wil is going into wait mode, and is disabling his eyesight, then give the psychorant a rest. Just wait for Pathos to find something of interest that we can aim for.
If all entrances can't be locked/blocked, then crouch in a corner with cover and line of sight to Pathos, while maintaining the psychorant. Have a solo debate about the merits of presumably more painful destructive tortures, versus the merits of nondestructive tortures that can be maintained in perpetuity.
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.

Wilfred locks the door, shoves a shelf in front of a small air vent and then curls up under a desk. He lets Wilfred know he's going into inactive mode and then fully shuts himself off from the world.
"Hahahaha. I didn't used to like tihs Wilfram guy, but he's got the spirit. We should totally get him into a coffee pot too, Pathos.
Follow Wilfred around. Assist in colorful vitriol generation for his stream of invectives. Eat any ghosts that aren't properly approved, or happen to be fans of Mr Friend. Cat ghosts are always properly approved, of course. as is anything particularly drippy, gooey, or bitey.
The Ghost of Jon floats into the server room carrying the ghost of the mutant cat they accidentally spawned way back in mission one. The cat is still flailing and growling but Jon keeps holding it by the scruff and whispering baby noises at it.
Go back to the rest of the group and loot one of the that's been checked.

Burt, apparently mid stroke, stumbles back into an already opened room and "Loots" a nice executive style office chair. He proceeds to go wheeling down the hall in it, taunting Mr. Friend and screaming about how he can never die.
Continue exploring and searching for loot. Try to determine the age of any bloodstains I come across.

Elen continues down the hall, turns a corner, and comes across a body. A young man, a lab tech judging by the clothing. He's dead, though how he died is hard to immediately tell. He's laying face down and there is blood around him and on the walls but not a fatal amount. He died of something other than simple exsanguination. Elen checks the blood that is there and finds it to be very sludgy. Its hours, maybe over a day old, maybe longer depending on the rate of evaporation. He died recently, but not very recently.
Pocket the flash drive. If any of my team REALLY wants to look at what’s in it, I’ll allow it, but I get to keep it.
Otherwise, pocket it and keep my baton handy.
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 a player 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.

Name: Anya Sokolova
Physical Description: Wiry, roughly 6'4/193 cm tall, Anya cuts a striking figure compared to the diminutive height of most women at OMNITECH. Her nearly shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes merely amplifies that affect
Background: born in some rural shithole in Novosibirsk, Anya worked on her parents farm, mainly fixing up their only tractor. She decided to join the Russian engineer troops to make something of herself. One... eventful career later, and she decided it be better to go to OMNITECH than the Hague. Sometimes she wonders if that was the good choice.

I guess I'm basically dead
uh, I guess follow the group?
With the Door to the server room locked, Anya joins Ji, Toots, and Toby as the go to look in on Tara. They find her splayed out in gore, struggling to get her footing. They pull her up and out before taking a moment to look over the room. The body is old, over a day old, and who it used to be is hard to say. There's no skin, the chest and abdominal cavity are open, and the arms have been removed, while the legs remain, splayed out to act as a sort of base to keep the body stable leaning against the wall. Written in blood on the wall above the corpse, now slightly marred by Tara's flailing, are the words
Hide and seek
Ready or not
