Wyatt and Toots basically just stand around and wait to do something useful.
Did OMNITECH finally get unionized?
((Damn. This is where having some levels in speech would have been handy. Oh well, can't be good at everything.
If I had time I'd try to get them in contact with one of our speech people and try to work out a plan, but it looks like we might have to accelerate the schedule. Still worth giving it a shot though, I think I have one more turn. Messing with those turrets might also had been fun.))
Would a cutting charge be enough to cut a hole through the harem wall to the lab without hurting the hostages?
Can I hear/see any signs of fighting?
If yes, detonate the explosives under the throne room, in the hopes that it will draw the guards away from the hostages. It it lets bugs in from the tunnels that should keep them distracted even longer.
If no, then try to find a way I could get to talk to one of the hostages. Do they have any place like a toilet or a changing room where they're likely to be unsupervised? Or maybe someone is near a blind corner with a nearby vent, so I could display a message in my computing cube screen for them to read? If I can speak to them, the message is basically "OMNITECH rescue. Ready to leave? Other hostages?"
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.

Pathos considers:
A cutting charge would probably be enough to cut through the wall but...well doing so anywhere near the hostages might also be enough to cut through them. He'd have to place it a good distance away to be safe.
[6] He is pretty sure he can hear sounds of fighting! He doesn't have a button to press, so he activates the explosives while miming a dramatic button press.
"As my assistant said, they shouldn't have anything to do with this, they're mainly supposed to be my escort. Anyway we can help out with the defense against the beast attack if you want, setting them on fire should work I think, otherwise we could also help with patching up your soldiers and preventing any unnecessary casualties."

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.

Elen, Ji, and Tara are in the midst of formulating an excuse when Pathos decides to end the negotiations. The demo charge he placed under the king's throne goes off and reduces the room to chaos. There is no process, no action to understand, they simply find themselves on their backs in a haze of smoke and flickering light. There is, somewhere distant, the sound of voices and shouting, dull thud of metal boots, echoing as though underwater. The metal floor was a double edged sword: it shielded them from most of the blast, but also fragmented into shards. Tara sits up immediately, her injuries consisting of nothing more than a few cuts, and checks on the others. Ji has a foot long section of jagged metal embedded in her left thigh and is groaning, semi-concious. Elen is laying several feet away, still alive, but breathing with considerable difficulty due to the 3 metal fragments jutting out of her chest.
Tara looks back towards where the throne and Grongor were and finds nothing but a blackened expanse of ruined metal blossoming upwards from the force of the blast. The KNIGHT that was nearest the throne is on his feet, missing an arm and limping but moving with purpose. Meanwhile the Knight that was behind the Emissaries is already on his feet and running out towards the rooms to the left.
Looks like we're bugging out. Try to grab something valuable along the way, maybe one of the cuter bug, I'unno. Just don't get trapped inside, then head back to the main lab with the others. If we charge the wall, charge along with the others, ACA readied.
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.

Wilfred picks up a cat sized wood louse and whispers, "You will be my rolly polly boy" to it before running out of the room to join the people at the barricade.
Leave the lab as well, try to grab some interesting nicknack on the way out, but not if that interferes with our orderly return to the 'cades. Help with the welding if needed.
Once at the cades, see if there's anything going on there. Any more goodies stuck in the wall that I can see?

"I think it may have worked? I was expecting to see more charred corpses if it failed."
Nikoli ponders exploring the lab for the secrets it contains within. The look of resignation that appears on his face makes his decision clear.
"Unfortunately, we can't afford to dilly dally here. Gotta go back to the place and finish the job. Someone should seal the door with a welding torch though. The insects are bound to recolonize this place once they realize the fire has died down. Don't want any innocents getting devoured by the swarm if they break out."
Pick up one of the eggs and leave through the main entrance from where I came. Head for Grognor's and be ready to storm the wall with my team.
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.

Nik carries an egg under one arm and Toby under the other as he runs back to the barricades.
"Well I feel like we might be missing out on some loot, but then again we might have set it all on fire so I guess there isn't really much of a reason to stick around."
Leave the bug lab and wait for everybody to get out, then weld the door shut.

Harold waits for everyone to get out of the bug den. Well, he waits for everyone he remembers to get out of there. After no one has come out for like a good...30 seconds he shuts the door and reseals it before welding it shut too, just for good messure.
Those congregating at the Barricade hear the blast from inside. They can't see anything, but the barricade doesn't seem manned at the moment.
