If I can drop by the door with the question mark on it without being detected by the KNIGHTs in the other room, do so. If there's a sign or similar next to it, read it. If it doesn't lead to anywhere dangerous, open it (or hack it open).

If I can't make it there undetected, then just follow Radio's character from the vents.

Spoiler: Pathos: Senior Tech Officer (click to show/hide)

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.

Wilfred will see if he can't patch into Yagyu's audio and visual feeds.  From his computing cube, I guess.  Dunno, Yagyu suggested it, and Wilfred has decent tech, so try to get a connection set up and share with the team.

Also, keep watch over Yagyu's junk that he left behind.  Any would-be thieves get acidified then looted and their junk added to the pile.

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.

The tentacle has the features of being able to rip people's faces off, terrify school girls, and send weebs into erotic paroxysms.  Basically its a big rubbery nightmare limb that does as you desire. Every man's dream.

Take note of the scenery around me. If diplomacy fails, we’re going to need break in. It would be good to find some weak points in the wall. Some keystone pieces of trash, a few flammable bits, maybe an explosive barrel they forgot to put away?

Spoiler: Nik (click to show/hide)

Name: Nikoli Ismenik
Physical Description: Nikoli or "Nik" for short is a relatively quiet and unassuming man. Few people are ever compelled to talk to him and the ones that do rarely remember much. In other words he's a background character. According to the file on record though, this is what he looks like:
 
A tall pale man with blue eyes and a gaunt look. I'd describe him as ugly, but not enough to be disgusting. I just feel pity when I look at him. The man is in his 30s yet he looks like he's been around for 40 years, and all of them were shit. He's just not the kind of person I'd want to talk to if I didn't have to.

Background: Nikoli first joined OMNI 3 years ago as a down-on-his-luck individual who had no more other options. With a backstory as common as they come, it's no surprise then that Nikoli quickly blended in with the other poor souls he worked with and functionally disappeared. Most would say he lived a dull life, but if one were to ever crack open that bald head of his, they would realize that he lived anything but.

Because the truth is that Nikoli was a spy, sent by the EXISE corporation to steal OMNI trade secrets and occasionally assassinate key personnel. As a janitor, few people ever payed him any attention and his kit granted him an excellent toolset for destroying evidence. During those 3 years while no one was looking, Nikoli managed to steal hundreds of documents and acquired a bodycount in the dozens!

The longer one stays on a job though, the chance to encounter bad luck increases until it eventually becomes inevitable. A few days ago, it was announced to Nikoli that he was going to be transferred. Apparently some idiots in another facility kept getting their sanitation officers killed, so he was randomly selected to be their next replacement. They told him to think of it as a promotion. Rather than being stuck inside an office or lab all day, he would get to do exciting field work! Nikoli had already burned enough documents to know what "field work" meant, but that wasn't what bothered him. Nor was it not being able to take his old possessions with him to his new workplace. What really crushed his hopes was the new uniform, that blasted rubber jumpsuit! How the H.E.L.L is he supposed to sneak into off-limits areas or strangle a guy to death if every step he takes sounds like a seal choking on a clown nose!

Hopefully command will think of something soon. Nikoli has made multiple attempts to contact them, but so far there has been no response.

As a reminder, Wilfred is nowhere near the trash wall.  In fact he's not even in that room.  Or near the entrance to that room.

She is a Waifu-Bot based on an 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.

((Ok, so to make this quick, I'll just copy paste here the things I learned form the initial questioning. There was more stuff I could ask, but I'm a little slow with pm's these days and didn't want to make you guys wait much longer without at least some sort of update. Assume Yagyu explains all this as he comes back out of the lab.))

Go in.

"Thank you, sir knight, for allowing me into your fortress.

Now then, is it the wish of your lord that I should speak to him, or shall you be my liaison?"

Ok so basically he wants to know who you are, why you're here, and what you want.  According to him these are the rightful lands of Grongor the first (You recognize the name as being that of a fictional character in a series of campy barbarian novels), the slayer of the outerbeasts and all-father.

Tell him I'm an ambassador from OMNITECH here to talk with them. See if they still know what terms like OMNITECH mean. Ask them about the history of their land, maybe that'll reveal something about how the situation developed.

If possible, ask for a tour of his lands to try and find out the condition of the hostages. Be courteous at all times and throw in 'milords' and such where appropriate.

He seems to recognize "OMNITECH" but as some kind of neighboring 'Kingdom' not as a company. He says something about it being "Fatherland of the Lord" but nothing more. You ask about the situation and get a story about how Grongor the AllFather created the KNIGHTS as protectors of his realm, to aid him in the battle against the beasts of the outerlands and rebellious subjects.  You ask him what the beasts they're fighting are and he responds that the outerbeasts come from a land to the south, past the borders of this domain. He describes them as something that sounds like insects, though much larger.  He says they try to enter this land on occasion, and he and his brothers push them back.  You ask where they came from and he says that Grongor discovered them during the expansion of his lands.

You ask for a tour and to speak with the subjects of this land. The KNIGHT seems highly uncertain about this and says that he would have to ask his lord if such a thing is possible: it is not his place to choose.

((maybe dealing with those insects gives us an in here, or could at least explain their aberrant behavior))

Sure, he can go ask for permission. Or he could request an audience for me with the roboking so I can ask myself, should it please his ceramicness of course. (but word it all polite and diplomat-like, I can type it out all formal like if you want me to)

Nah thats fine. He clanks off and returns a few minutes later.

"My lord says he will speak with your kingdom, but not with you. He wishes you to send your most agreeable maiden to meet with him instead."

Suuuure, I'll get right on that. One more thing, have they identified a source of those insects?

Oh, and ask him what kind of maidens his lordship prefers I suppose.

He says they're coming from someplace outside the kingdom, an open cavern to the southeast. None know their exact source, as Grongor has forbade the KNIGHTS from delving into the caverns and instead has them guard the border.

He rather sheepishly responds that Grongor prefers more "Comely lasses of delicate age" than "Withered crones or bloated harpies". He seems to be quoting.

(Out of curiosity, when you say 'sheepishly' here, could you describe it a bit more? Mostly cause that seems to imply a sort of social understanding/mores that I wouldn't have expected given 'organic automata' status.)


Either way, if we can't get a tour of the place yet, could he perhaps describe to me what the king's subjects that are not knights are doing and how they are treated/their general wellbeing? He mentioned 'rebellious subjects', does this occur often?

Sheepishly in that he doesn't seem to understand what he's saying. He's reciting it without understanding so he's kinda awkward about it. Imagine a young kid telling an adult something his parent told him to tell them. Sheepish isn't quite right...more like "Awkward" or "Uncertain".

He says that they are made up entirely of Grongor's "Many wives and concubines". When you ask about any men, he says there are none. He says the women are doing well, that they are well fed and taken care of. He's very clinical about it, like a field medic.  When you ask about the "Rebellions" he responds that the women attempted to attack Grongor at one point but that they were "easily dealt with", again very clinical.

Ok then, think we're almost done. Try to carefully ask if he thinks these is a chance that, should the maiden we sent be particularly to the King's liking, he will decide to add her to his harem?

(by the way, when we are done here, and assuming my head isn't traumatically separated from my neck in the meantime, should I just copy paste the pm logs into the thread, or would you prefer me to retell it IC'ly?)

The KNIGHT thinks on that for a while. You can almost see the smoke rising from his ears. Finally he says " The harem has always been the same." You wait a moment for him to continue but he doesn't. Alright.

(Sure, I was mostly doing this for speed and the chance of unexpectedly opening fire on the idlers after you say a bad thing. I'm fire with you relaying the conversation once you return)

”I wonder if I could hold a sword with this thing?”
Sounds good. Hide behind that security guard, for safety.

Charon focuses his attention on the most important conglomeration of value in the room. The gigantic wall of trash. Using his finely crafted OMNI-gifted fingers, Charon applies his finely honed sense of touch to the garbage barricade. Feeling it, rubbing it, tasting it with his sensitive digits. With the debris palisade thoroughly inspected, Charon pulls out a random bit of trash from the trash pile.

Charon yanks a random piece of debris from the trash wall. It appears to be...a tin sign reminding people to dispose of bio-hazardous trash in the correct receptacle. It appears to have blood on it. Or maybe jam?

"If people want rid of the wall I've got this demo charge I stole from the last mission."
Go examine the trash wall, and find out if there was any good stuff used in its construction.

Harold pokes at the wall, looking it over carefully for hidden treasure. He thinks there are some good things in there. In fact...is that a flamesprayer?

I don't want the shadowmen to get me. Go back in the vents and go watch Radio's meeting. See if there are any juicy assassination targets.

Spoiler: Pathos: Senior Tech Officer (click to show/hide)

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.

Yagyu's talks seem to be over, so instead pathos wanders over to the throne room. There is a man on that throne, a skinny ectomorph with a prominent adam's apple and a face like a nervous toucan. He's wearing clearly fantasy inspired armor, with a circlet crown and a big cape, looking very silly. He seems to be waiting for something.

You can indeed, Toots.  Assume you're in the room, outside the trashwall, where Yagyu has just returned to. Basically, with everyone else.
 

[Ozarck]

Find a ghost anemone, name it Maurice, then feed a big ghost fish to it so that it's tentacles grow absurdly long. Then find some ghost clownfish, feed several ghost pirhanas to them and set them loose inside my anemone.

After that, go feed a ghost Narwal to a ghost horse to make an ectosea unicorn.

Then ... I want a milkshake, so let's go find some ghost cows and feed them a lot of ghost grass.
