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.

Bill nods "Ah so you came right to my aid before anything else eh? If either of us survive the next few minutes I shall have to give you a positive performance review. Though..." He cranes his head to look down the break room rapidly disgorging smoke, "I think I'll have to decline your beverage suggestions."
Pathos offers instead to bring him straight to the exit and he happily agrees. He follows Pathos out, carefully stepping over body parts as he goes. "Ah, that was Sam Wilkenson I think." he stoops down and begins rifling the upper half of a human body, eventually pulling a gold watch from the single remaining arm. "We had a bet going about what the next major accident here would be."
"You won?" Pathos guesses, pointing at the watch.
"Hm? Oh no, lost completely. But a corpse doesn't need a watch, now does it?" He carefully affixes the watch to his own wrist. "They can't read analog displays after all."
Pathos takes him the rest of the way to the door only to find it barred by someone else's credentials.

[7,6]
A sewn lung, a patched pneumothorax, a squeeze of the spleen and a small vial of concentrated artificial blood and Jengo is about as fixed as he can be. Steve rubs the blood off on his on his jumpsuit and nods approvingly.
Now that I have scanned a sample of the dogmonster, wave the scanner around to try and see if there are any traces in the air of other monsters that have a similar but distinct scanner signature. Walk around the general area we already secured for this scan.
In case scan turns up negative, check if any goodies at all remained in lab one.

The scanner seems far too overwhelmed with the scissor head and its...fumes...to get anything more from around here.
[1][4v1]
Yagyu, thus free from scanning, wanders over to the debris and starts digging. Moments later there is a terrific bang and spray of sparks and electricity as an apparently loose and damaged high voltage cable connects with some metal and unloads itself most vigorously. Luckily Yagyu's isolated suit protects him completely and he gets away with nothing more than a rather girly shriek and bruised pride.
Okay I like how you've made Clem not dead yet but oh wait no I fucking hate it please make up your fucking mind already because nobody is making any effort to make Clem be alive and I'd like to be able to play the fucking game again. ❤

"You numbskulls should stay the fuck away from each other. Don't be such fucking dumbasses."
If possible, get Kerberos shocked before he executes Jengo. If anyone else is going to try a summary execution, or to loot the not-dead, use force to disarm people or prevent that from occuring. Yes, that includes pulling Heather Reed off the body, or if necessary, whacking her or someone else with my baton.

"Alright Mr shoot yourself, get up and lead the charge then."
"G-gimme a minute... Just... Resting..."
Wow. Teach me to get injured in a pool of effin piranhas.
"Yeah, Heather! I'd rather be alive and broke than dead and also broke!"
[1v5,1,4v6]
Kerberos points his gun at Jengo but before he can do anything that breaks the OMNI code of employee interpersonal conduct Heather sweeps his legs out of under him and tackles him to the ground, shouting something about the "Hypocrites Oath" or something along those lines. Spuds runs in a moment later and unceremoniously lurches into the dog pile, adding his flailing limbs to the mix. As this is going on Jon stealthily sneaks up towards Jengo, dragging his incinerator behind him and grinning in a way most cruel. The Janitor grabs the injured man and attempts to drag him into the incinerator but Jengo, newly tended, slaps and kicks and struggles, eventually putting a boot straight into Jon's face amid cries of protest.
"I'm not dead!"
"You will be soon, you're very injured!" Jon says, trying to put Jengo in the patented (and copyrighted) "Garbageman Garotte" choke-hold.
"I'm getting better!" Jengo says, pushing his hands into Jon's face and accidentally putting a finger up his nose.
"Why hello there. I'll just be taking that."
Store the arm somewhere on my body then go up to Kerberos and Reid

Ed runs out of the break room and immediately plugs his computing cube into the nearest wall socket. He scrolls through the available suppression methods in the break room. He's rather impatient however so he just hits the first one that is labeled as "Fire retardant". This turns out to be "Fast setting resin infusion". Nozzles extend from the walls and begin pumping out a constant flow of red resin. It begins to fill the room and harden, though a good bit of it flows out into the hall.
Murphy crosses his arms as he looks to the coffee machine with a mix of surprise and horror before looking to the others in the room
"Alright, who am I giving a talking to about inappropriate and appropriate use of company propery and beverage preparation and consumption devices?"
Find something to shove the coffee machine into a sink, or failing to find something, just poke it with the barrel of the OMNITECH™ Guass Mini canon.

Let the little fight go on, check the murderous mutant's corpse with my scanner to figure out what's up with the thing, if possible.
Harry starts poking the critter with his scanner but Yagyu, still smoldering slightly, helpfully tells him that it is a Scissor head, it is a demon, it comes from H.E.L.L. and it isn't very friendly.
Join Jon in further cleaning up Lab 1. Since he's starting with corpses, start with the other filthyness instead.
Name: Eddrick E. Slant, esq.
Physical Description: Prefers wearing his rubberized suit with the hazmat helmet. Underneath he's a young man in his late 20's. He has an unkempt mop of hair, some serious stubble, and the perpetualy tired look of someone who is both overworked and enjoys staying up way too late.
Background: Eddrick, like every boy in his family, was forced to become a lawyer. Though he passed his bar exam, he would quickly change jobs to a janitor at a local high school. The drudgery of too many divorce cases just got to him, man. After a freak incidend with genetically modified frogs forced to school to close down, Eddrick took a job with OMNITECH. He originally applied for a position as Public Relations Representative, but they made him a janitor due to his prior experience.

Edd carefully edges around the still sparking and smoldering rubble and instead busies himself sopping up some...well he doesn't know the name of it but its that green goo they were holding all the limbs and organs and stuff in. Limb goo. He'll call it limb goo.
Walk towards lab 1, enter just in time to see multiple assholes squabbling over looting one of my fellow security members who was Heroically Wounded in Action. Upon seeing one of said assholes aim a gun at another and pull the trigger, take cover and shoot said asshole until said asshole is incapable of aiming at allies.
Yes, I'm aware his gun is empty. Aiming and pretend firing an empty gun at a person is a horrible horrible violation of proper gun handling, and so he deserves a demonstration of competent gun handling.
Name: Rezel Revel
Physical Description: Small, unassuming, twitchy, and nervous. Giggles quietly when scared.

Rezel, coming from all the way over by lab 3, comes upon the situation rather late, but is still in time to see Jon trying to wrestle Jengo into the incinerator.
[3]
[6][1v1]
Rezel holsters his rifle, pulls out his baton, walks over to Jon, and proceeds to beat on him with extreme enthusiasm but little in the way of effective force. Still, poorly aimed as the blows are, a truncheon upside the head is enough to distract even Jon's janitorial zeal.
”Hey guys, sharing is caring and all that.”
Ask the Science Guy what the situation in lab 3 is.
Give Bob my security baton and proceed to lab 3. I’ll stay with those other two guys (Redshirt and Rezel I think?) and go where they go. Shoot anything that tries to eat them.

"The situation is Fubar, as I believe you delightful murderous types say. But its not my department, so I know very little of substance other than that its packed to bursting with demons and men with unnatural attraction to tentacles. Good luck!" Bill says as he disappears round the corner with a wave.
Lance throws his baton to Bob -whomever that is, I've rather lost track in the midst of all this excitement- and then hurries off to join up with the cluster of brave young people and people like objects currently thrusting themselves into the maw of lab 03.
Name: "Redshirt"
Description: He is generic in every sense of the word. Unremarkable, not bad to look at but not good either, he's just... An extra. But, although people rarely recall his features... They always seem to change. It's always Redshirt, you know that, but he looks different, has a different skin tone, eye color, hair color... No one notices unless they pay attention to him. Which they don't.
Background: He's always been here. Even when he dies and is stricken from the records, he shows up again. His real name is unknown, they all call him Redshirt because of his habit of being cannon fodder. Also, his riot gear is stained a dark red with his own blood. He retains his memories, but not his items, every time he "respawns."

WE MUST GO DEEPER. IT CALLS TO US.
A mix of caution and curiosity played out across Roald's face as he stared into - and smelled - the newly unsealed section of the labs.
"Hey, uh, Redshirt? Maybe we should wait for the others before going in here."
Pull out my sidearm, then nervously edge into Lab 3 and look around.
Perhaps unfortunately for him, curiosity won.
Name: Roald Baccam
Physical Description: Short and sturdily built, with both his arms replaced from the shoulder down with mechanical prosthetics, which he is clearly still getting used to. His long, somewhat stringy hair is usually tied back in a ponytail when at work, though these have tended to be somewhat messy since his accident.
Background: A former spaceship mechanic, he lost his job after hospitalizing one of his colleagues in a fit of anger. Fortunately, OMNITECH were willing to overlook this and offer him this job.

And now dear reader, a brief lesson in foreshadowing. Cast your mind back to those halcyon days when noble Benny picked up a sublab 3 expense report with the words
"-ical contamination quarantine auto-can-" on it. And now forward to the FoF trackers, and the good Pathos' words
"Its a FoF marker. Probably for a set of Quarantine turrets." Yes, perhaps you begin to see the pattern. Now very near, remember the sounds as the lab 3 door opened.
"faint mechanical noise, like servos moving"Yes.
And our security team is very brave. So very brave in fact that not one of them has an FoF marker on them. Very brave indeed. Ah but the noble Benny, he has a communicator and Pathos was so good as to send out that program that could turn them into FoF markers. But did he ever turn it on? Not that I saw. Perhaps while I wasn't looking...

Oh he did! Wonderful. That should make this next part slightly less depressing.
The auto-cannons are up above the first door you see, recessed in little armored holes so that they can happily shred anything that gets through the second door and is likely to escape if not rendered anatomically dissociated. So as our very brave security men walk in and head for that far door, they don't notice them until it is far too late.
Lance[3v1]
Redshirt [2v6]
Roald [2v8]
Benny [6v2]
The two auto-cannons spin up to speed within the span of about 1.2 seconds and the whirrrrrr of their rotating barrels is drowned out by carefully calibrated bursts of high caliber rounds. Lance, through sheer luck, takes a burst of 8 rounds to the back in just such a way that they mostly glance off him and send him sprawling to the ground, shaken but uninjured. Redshirt takes a burst straight in the gap between his back plate and buttplate and it bursts his intestines out of him like a slaughterhouse party popper. Roald, who is near the back, take the burst at a sharp angle and the rounds punch straight down through the back of his head and out somewhere around his belly button, killing him before he can even comprehend whats happening. And though he is not targeted by the guns, Benny does have to contend with the ricochets. Luckily what few there are glance off his suit so harmlessly he hardly notices them.
The cannons cease firing after these initial attacks but they are still moving, the soft whir of servos as they track back and forth between potential targets.
