Toots is sad. Sad Toots.
Depressed flatulence.
The skeleton is hitting me again.
"We don't know how it's transmitted just yet, the last disease I found a cure for had the same problem of an unidentified way of transmission. Anyway the currently known symptoms are increased aggression and irrationality followed by lashing out at the nearest person. These symptoms manifest at the end of the incubation period, which to my knowledge is rather long.
In any case, I can't rule out that me and my assistants may be infected and so unwittingly put you and your subjects at risk of contracting the disease from us. In the case that we are indeed infected, then it is highly likely that the quarantine present here has already been compromised given how contagious the disease is. I ask again for your full cooperation, it is in our interest to limit the spread of the disease and to cure as many as we can."
More talking.

continue listening. If I can speak without interupting, say ”there are some diseases that don’t show obvious symptoms. There are some worms that live in the small intestine, eating some of the food that the animal is eating. Sometimes people might not know if they have them. This is an example. The point here is thst not all diseases are obvious”

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.

Ji, Elen, and the unknown lady who didn't post a sheet, all begin to start arguing their case or trying to persuade Grongor, but they are interrupted before they can get two words in. A KNIGHT runs in from the room on the left, weapon in hand.
"Sir, The beasts are attacking again. They're spilling out of their hive in greater numbers than we've seen before. They seem to have been provoked by something."
Grongor turns an even gaze on the three women.
"Tell me, emissaries, your countrymen wouldn't have anything to do with this, would they?" He's gone from suspicious to outright threatening in manner.
"Give them a minute to suffocate or flee. Then we can start looting... though, seriously, what do you really expect to find? I'm betting on dead bugs and a burning sensation in my lungs, not loot..."
Harold does not have an ACA, which is why it isn't on his sheet. Wilfred has the ACA, which is why it's on his sheet. Harold just has a flamesprayer that he ripped out of the trash wall, though the stats for it (d6xd4. d4 use die) haven't been recorded on his sheet, probably because Zultan didn't realize the flamesprayer is an armory item.
Also, uh, the ACA being used instead of the flamesprayer kinda hurts our plan, since it's much killier and doesn't set things on fire. The idea was to make the bugs flee from the flames, into Grongor's domain, rather than to just kill them.
In any case, go shut and lock the door. Count to sixty, and if no sounds of enraged bugs have sounded, open it up a crack and take a look inside. If the coast seems clear, enter the room with the ACA at the ready.
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.

It actually is the flamesprayer not ACA. For some reason when I searched "Flamesprayer" in the document it gave me nothing so I thought I was misremembering and just went with the ACA. Too bad I didn't look literally one space above.
"So I guess we just wait a bit for the fire to die down, also I don't think there's gonna be much loot to get from in there, bugs probably ate anything good."
Wait for the fires to go out and the all clear.

"That... doesn't sound right. It should be getting louder, not quieter. No one's even rushing to tear down our door."
Stop spraying fire. After Wilfred does his counting routine, follow him in. Assess the extent of the damage. Do I think there are still enough insects left to pull off the original plan?
"Maybe we'll find some of that serum if we decide to explore."
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.

The group waits for the flames to fade to a reasonable level and then sweeps out in a surprisingly professional way. They move through several rooms, through the initial remnants of a metal lab structure and into raw stone coated in smoldering greenery. Insect corpses are curled here and there but it seems like the majority of them escaped instead of perishing in the blaze. Even when the stone structure splits off into smaller, often dead end tunnels which were shielded from the flame, there are no large insects there. Well, none that are of a size that truly endangers the men. There are maggots the size of dogs, fist sized eggs, mites the size of hamsters, all manner of tiny crawling thing that would probably be microscopic in normal circumstances. The lab raw stone gives way to more lab to the north, though it too is heavily overgrown and ramshakle, clearly not used for a long time.
Check the weapon test room for anything that will burn or explode nicely.
Also check the supplies near the harem and the Knight quarters for anything that will burn or explode or act as a distraction.
Also check around for supplies like food and drink meant for KNIGHTs or the king.
Also check the living conditions of the hostages. Are they being treated well?
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.

There are what look like explosives in the test room; Grenades and the like. Though nothing that Pathos believes to be truly powerful enough to do something like collapse a tunnel.
The supplies near the harem are all in boxes and metal crates, aside from a few sets of what look like military rations laying out on top of one box. There might be things that go boom in there, but its impossible to tell as is.
Similarly, the other caches of supplies are mostly closed off, but the few glimpses of them seem to reveal mostly necessities of life like food. Looks like he's prepared for a long siege.
The hostages are dressed, which is honestly surprising all things considered, and appear to be far more bored than actively afraid or rebellious. Their quarters seem comfortable enough but there is also a general feeling of surrender to their actions. They don't want to be here, they don't like it here, but they believe they have no alternative. Something about it doesn't seem like women trapped under threat of death; there's something more subtle keeping them here than just fear of the KNIGHTs.
