Toots examines his gun and his flashlight.
[2]
He places the flashlight in the barrel of the gun for a moment and it seems to hold it well enough. However, he reconsiders this after another moment's consideration and instead balances it on the top. This is much better though...it does mean holding the gun in a very specific way and moving very slowly and deliberately. Not since his days in etiquette school has he had to do something like this!

Toby saunters -his words not mine- up to the wall and starts poking at it with the half assed energy of a man entirely expecting that the universe will provide for his needs. And provide for him it does; he finds several grenades stuck in the wall.
"Honestly, I'm not complaining, but it does seem kinda odd that they just build this wall out of stuff like this. Maybe they don't understand it and are just knowledgeable about their own weapons? Oh well, who cares, free grenades!"
Nice maggots. Insect pals?
Are these the sort of flesh-eating ravenous maggots or the helpless larvae waiting to hatch maggots? If they attack or make any sort of threatening motion against me, bravely run away away. Otherwise, try to remain quiet and do not disturb them.
Could I make a hole through the wall to allow access to the tunnels using one of my explosives or the cutting charge?
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.

The maggots here are not of the unreasonably dangerous flesh eating skitterbeast variety that is so often a hazard to security. Indeed they seem totally defenseless, just wriggling around blindly, nibbling on what looks like some kind of plant matter growing on the rocks. Pathos carefully steps around them.
He considers making a hole in the metal wall of the pod. Explosives or the cutting charge might work for that purpose, however he'd have to be careful with them unless he wanted to also blow up whatever was on the other side.
"Wait before you all go, I need to treat some injuries first. Then we can go and do our diplomatic medical inspection."
Quickly treat the injuries on Chardon's hands, then head inside and meet the king.

Name: Ji Fuchikoma
Physical Description:
A Short, Athletic, and Absolutely Stacked Girl, who has an uncanny resemblance to an anime character. She has pale freckled skin and, fiery red hair, and large ember green eyes. She as a pair of fox ears and a fox tail.
She is a Waifu-Bot based on a player 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.

The “medic” would be Elen, the one who suggested pretending to be a medic
Regardless of who goes in, follow whoever gets in, whether it be Elen or Ji
Elen wraps Charon's hands in gauze, mispronounces his name, and then runs off to join the now trio of women and "women" entering Camelot.
As they enter, the KNIGHT almost visibly furrows his brow. This is quite impressive because he's wearing a solid metal face obscuring helmet. Its very obvious that he's expecting one woman and has now gotten three and his programming has no response to this integer overflow. After a few seconds of processing he seems to give up and just starts walking away, motioning for the three to follow.
He leads them into the lab proper, past a huge 3d printer that seems to be hard at work creating more KNIGHT armor, past clone tubes filled with modified human stock, and finally to a blast door. The KNIGHT keys in a combination and then leads the group into the room beyond, up a short set of stairs and to a large, open room. The room has been adorned with objects that are quite at odds with the rest of the lab: the lights have been removed and replaced with torches and candelabras burning along the wall. Tapestries hang from floor to ceiling depicting heroic battles against giant insects. Solid metal statues of a kingly figure are scattered about seemingly at random. However the most obvious feature of the room is a huge pit at the dead center of the room. Rather horrible noises can be heard within it, but its too deep to see whats inside from here. Beyond the pit, near the end of the room, is a huge and very ornate throne that is seemingly made of gold.
On the throne sits a man who could be accurately summed up as a twerp. He's very skinny, quite tall, pale, and scruffy. He has a big nose, big adam's apple and the general appearance of a malnourished turkey. He's wearing what might be passed off as a "Warrior King" costume, all furs and armor and circlet crown.
"I have brought the ambassador, Lord Grongor" The KNIGHT announces, pushing the three women up to the lip of the pit, the throne and its king on the opposite side. From here they can see what waits at the bottom. Camel Spiders by the look of it, though they're the size of horses or larger. All thats really visible is rapidly moving legs, flashing exoskeleton and the constant creaking clack of snapping mandibles.
"I gave permission for one ambassador and they send three." Grongor replies, clearly annoyed. He is clearly trying to take on the character of a great king but his voice is far too nasal to take him serious. He looks the three women over and shrugs one shoulder. "Fine. I cannot turn away a beautiful woman. But know this: My mercy has its limits and I will not accept any foolishness. What do you want?"
"It seems like we've got enough people on board now. Harold, Charon, and Wilfred, you come with me. The rest of you stay behind until the insects attack. We won't have much time before the bugs completely overrun the place so it's good if you have a head start. Diplomats can keep doing their thing, it would be good to have some people inside before the mayhem begins. Maybe you can scout or give the guys a signal?"
Head with group to the lab. Set backpack to flamethrower mode. Wait for Charon to open the door before we do anything.
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.

Name: Wilfred Seven
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 cluster of exterminators wanders around, following the vague instructions and maps of their ape leader until they find the sealed lab. Its closed off, just as advertised, but Wilfred is quick to crack the code. He commands the door to open about a foot wide and the immediate combination of sounds and smells that come from beyond are enough to make everyone recoil. The smell is overwhelmingly that of damp mold or decay; like flipping over a log in the forest and ramming the wet soil up your nose. The sound is a cacophony of clicking, chittering, rubber like stretching of connective tissue, and hard quarter second buzzes of wings fluttered before snapping back under carapace. The lab is dark, the only real light coming from the open door, but they can see a standard metal interior that quickly gives way to a bare stone interior completely incrusted in greenish plant-like or perhaps fungal matter and a thick slime. Crawling all through this are enormous insects. Each is the size of a horse or even larger and seem to be of varying kinds. Many are predatory in nature through there are also enormous beetles eating the plant matter. The place seems positively packed with the things.
