200 for a new pair of feet? Screw that noise.
Try to haggle down the price to 175, and if I don't succeed, ask if there are any cheaper alternatives I can buy.
They offer a 160 Omni model that doesn't have any toes. Just like...solid feet. They'll work alright but they might be less dexterous in certain situations.
"Huh, this seems allright. Guess I won't have to stick my hand into my incinerator after all."
Check the prostethic grabbing my arm. Is there anything special about it? Any writing or something?
Anyway, gently try and get it to let go of me. If succesful, into my inventory it goes.
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.

There's writing or anything on it but there are what appear to be several small dome cameras studded along the length of the thing in strategic places like the palm and the elbow. Edd pulls on it and it doesn't let go. "Please let go of me" he says in mild annoyance, still pulling and to his surprise it does. Huh. He sticks it in his bag.

Lightly poke the crystal ball with the null-rod. If it doesn't react badly to movement, use the rod to scrape what's left of it into a containment pod.
Clem makes a 🤔 face, trying to think of a safe way to resolve the situation. Reviewing the available assets... ah, heck with it.
Motion to Benny, Lance, and Jack, mime a baton, and point at the poor losing-it civvie. Hopefully they'll get the message and work together.
Edit: Okay, only one of these idiots are going in, that means I'm going to back the fuck up out of the room because a single mook approaching an anomaly alone does NOT have a good ending.
Name: "Clem"
Physical Description: Extremely scarred and mutilated, with numerous life-support implants jutting out of its flesh at strange angles. Most of its head is replaced by what appears to be a generic gas mask combined with random technological scraps. Does not speak.

Since subduing the target seems to be the current goal, and I traded my baton for an axe, I’ll let my fellow security guard handle this. I will, however, be on standby to fill things with high velocity lead in case of hostilities.
Go hand-to-hand if the first guy has difficulty subueing the target. Unless “difficulty” involves body horror or eldritch nastiness.

Clem pokes at the remains of the crystal ball and then, once it has been assertained that the remains won't explode or complain, Clem sweeps them into a containment pod. That done, Clem points to the growing cluster of security men and them mimes beating down the woman. As they move in, Clem scampers out of the room, holding the containment pod to its chest.
[5][4]
After a few seconds of thudding Clem pokes its head back into the room and sees the cluster of security men dragging the unconcious and handcuffed woman up onto her feet. Huh, that went better than expected. Now then....It would be best to get her to a containment chamber outside the lab before things progressed.
"Come on, Puss. Here, Puss Puss. Let's get you to medical, little buddy. They fixed Clem, they can fix you, alright? If this place weren't such a shambles, we could probably get you fitted with some nice prosthetics here instead, but the doctors will take good care of you. Come on, Puss, here, Puss Puss."
Wave my mop around a bit to get the Cat's attention. Try to lead it toward the exit and off to medical, If I can somehow get it through the airlock.

Jon wanders over and starts waving his mop around near the Cat thing's head. While it doesn't induce some sort of hypnotic trance it does seem to distract the creature for the moment.
Try to glue the cat to the floor with sticky goop, again. If it's still on top of a teammate, try to carefully goop just the cat then (sticking its limbs together).
Then try to extricate myself from the goop. Does this knock-off come with a bottle of dissolving agent like the OG product, or is it inferior in that regard as well? If so, just try to wiggle out of it, maybe with help from a teammate.

Yagyu fires a spurt of goo onto the ceiling and then attempts to extract his feet. There is no included disolving goo but the end of the gun has a little chisel tip to break the stuff. [2] He hacks at the solid lump around his feet, knocking off a few pieces but not getting far.
"You know, instead of trying to overpower Cheshyre you could just pour that bottle of alcohol I tossed earlier on it."
Consider how long until this bloody cat bleeds out enough to become weaker and more manageable. It's been shot and missing half its body, it's bound to start feeling the effects of it eventually.
Anyway, like that motivational picture used to say: hang in there and keep trying to survive/run away.

Pathos considers the cat thing and the nature of its existance. It probably won't live long as is but its also made out of 50% fabric so maybe attempting to judge it by the standards of your average creature is a mistake. It will probably survive long enough to bite his face off at least. Fire would probably work quite well on it.

Jengo plants his feet, twists his ankle, and goes down with a shout. Not a shout of pain, more a shout of utter annoyance at the comedy of errors his life has become.

Luckily he isn't injured by his fumble, in fact it makes him stronger through sheer anger if anything.

Heather walks into the room with the ongoing cat-astrophy and calmly considers the situation. After a moment's consideration she walks over to the distracted cat and proceeds to shoot it square in the head several times. The creature collapses with a sound like a punctured bagpipe deflating.
