Name: "Clem"
Physical Description: Extremely scarred and mutilated, with numerous life-support implants jutting out of its flesh at strange angles. It's entire lower body has been replaced with new machinery, which is oddly orderly compared to the mess of flesh and metal making up its upper body. Most of its head is replaced by what appears to be a generic gas mask combined with random technological scraps. Does not speak.
Background: "Clem" is apparently what remains of an employee after extensive trauma and extranatural influence. Details are classified. It seems to want to keep working for omnitech, so its contract has been renewed.

Burt, his old lives still echoing perhaps, sits as far from the door and danger as he can manage.
Grab a gunner seat, assuming that there is one available and no one with a higher weapons skill wants it. (I have d6 guns)
Are we talking rifle caliber mg gunpods or canon type gunpods? Not that it makes much difference I suppose... after all, it beats my generic pistol, and I'm still going to shoot at hostiles with it when (probably not if) I get the chance.

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 takes a seat in the midsection of the ship and gives the 888 ball a shake.
Answer unclear, ask again soon.Edd shrugs and puts on some
tunes.
The phase interface spins up to speed, the interlocking gimbals whizzing about in a blur of metal until finally slamming to a stop as the interface appears; an orb of inky darkness suspended within the domain of the gimbals. [2] Jon, in the cockpit, hen pecks across the keys and buttons and levers, pushing and pulling and toying about while muttering to himself. After a few seconds he shouts "Ah ha! Here it is!" and does something. The ship's internal lights all go out as he accidently shuts the power down.
"Ah, sorry, lemme just..."
The lights go back on.
"It was right around....no...maybe...Ah, yes. Ahem. Ah Ha! Here it is!"
The engines roar and the craft shakes and for a few moments everything seems to be going fine. The ship accelerates slowly forward and those looking out the front window can see the black orb of the interface growing larger, taking up the entire view as the ship closes in. And then the ship lurches suddenly forwards and there is a horrible metallic noise, a flash of flame and roar of an explosion as the ship twists violently to the right before then twisting back to the left. The lab is gone, the old world is gone. They've passed within the interface and the ship is spinning, spinning like a top. Blake shouts that the left wing has been shorn off, that it struck the gimbals as the ship passed through.
The world outside is not HELL. Its not anything anyone knows. It is a shimmering chaos of black and white; like tv static made huge and three dimensional. There are no points to orient to, nothing is stationary, everything flows and flickers and screams mad interference in their ears.
