barracks please.
You appear in the barracks. They're basically just a collection of beds and storage lockers and such. Currently someone is rifling through them looking for things to steal.
There doesn't seem to be anything physically hazardous nearby but that guy might be considered a moral hazard.
"Come now, you know what they say. It's not over till the tentacle demon screams."
See if Murder Pot is interested in betting on the number of deaths.

Barracks for you too eh? Good enough for me.
Return to the world of the conscious. Check my surroundings. Then, check that prostethic arm I picked up earlier again. Look for a serial number or a customer service phone number or something, now that I can give it a good lookover since it's not grabbing onto me anymore.
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.

It was already revealed earlier that this is a "Handy boy" arm. It has a built in AI for being handy. Not sure if you heard it though. I just kind of let it slip in earlier narration so I suppose its no harm in telling you now.

Steve, Yagyu and Lance all reduce their current magazine use die.
The team keeps shooting, though now that the creature is among them its actually far harder to draw a bead without also gunning down an ally. Steve shoots into the ground and Jack probably would have put a round straight into Spud's lower back if it weren't for his weapon jamming. Yagyu sprays another gout of goo onto the creature, forming a clump on its upper body but doing little to slow it down. Lance's shots are shallow and Spud's blows aren't only a bit better. The creature needs only one more solid strike to go down but they can't manage to deliver it. The creature swings a tentacle out in a wide arc and slaps Spuds dead center in the chest, sending him flying into the wall. Its not enough to seriously injure him but it knocks the wind out of him and sets stars to spinning in front of his eyes.
