((Whoops. Didn't expect the explosion to be so big. Nor did I expect it to be right under the throne, I thought it would be near the pit. Oh well. I guess I can cross regicide off my list. Let's see what happens next.))
If the harem guards have been distracted by the explosion, get down to the hostages and announce to them this is an OMNITECH rescue.
If I can get them a safe distance away from the lab wall, do so before placing the cutting charge and joining them before detonating it.
Else, try to unlock the sealed door, unless the hostages or some sign tell me it leads somewhere bad. I don't really know where it leads, but it's probably better than going through the throne room.
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 waits while the guards do in fact scamper off to fight some battle somewhere. Once they're gone he stealthily crawls out of the air vent and announces his presence and intentions to the ladies. They are initially terrified of the robot spider that just came busting through a vent, but quickly realize it isn't a threat and listen. It becomes rapidly clear that they believed the insect menace had overtaken the entire Omnitech complex and that this was basically the last bastion of survivors. They had gone alone with Grongor's -formerly Keith- plans and demands because he had taken control of the KNIGHTS. He was both protecting them and keeping them hostage with the power of the KNIGHTS. Now with him gone and the KNIGHTS distracted, and the lie of the insect hordes dispelled, they are more than ready to get the hell out.
[7]
Now, which lab wall is pathos going to affix the explosive to? There are several around here, all of which might lead to different adventures. He succeeded in placing it so I just need to pin down exactly where....
Wow, I was very lucky. Time to figure out if this stuff I have can heal.

Just to clarify, is Grognar definitely kaput?
Also, how does my android body work as far as dying and bleeding and such?
In any case, if any knights show up, and start to show aggression, produce the cleavage gun and make with the fireworks.
((I’m hoping that if Grognar is dead, the knights may not realize we killed him, and we are therefore not considered hostile.))
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.

Kaput is a bit of an understatement, Ji. Grognar...Grongore? Griblack? Whatever. He's chili. He's salsa. He's a chunky red paste that goes good on chips. He was actually pretty dangerous if you let him get going so it might be for the best that someone Gibbed him before he could get up.
Ji's android body isn't in danger of bleeding out, but it isn't invulnerable. The damage to the leg renders it about as useless as giant shards of metal would do to fleshy targets. Still, better than laying around, gasping to death in blood. Speaking of, seems Elen is in no mood to let a rando perform medical malpractice on her when she is perfectly capable of doing that herself.

Instead of potentially making the wounds worse, she instead imply seals the injuries as best she can and does her best to make sure the metal is well secured in place before getting some help standing up. She gives herself a nice dose of pain killers to help her move around and some medication to make breathing easier for the moment. Its a temporary fix but better than tearing the shrapnel out and suffocating from a pneumothorax without a chest tube or ventilated dressing.
The KNIGHTS seem to be paying no attention to the three of them, for the moment at least.
Go search for the hostages, if found try to evacuate them from the lab. Try to avoid KNIGHTS, but should they spot us yell at them that we got orders from the king to evacuate his subjects. If that doesn’t work take cover before I’m shot up, if teammates shoot them then help out with the goop thrower at double overcharge (d8). Hostile bugs are also to be avoided if possible, and shot if not.

Confiscate "Mr Gorbachev" (the wrench). Leave the egg with Toby. Wait for Wilfred to clear any guards who may be on the other side before crossing the barricade.
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.

"Hey, does anyone know what we're supposed to be doing?"
"Oh good, another person with body armor. And my voice. Fucking clones." Wil coughs a couple of times, then speaks in a slightly deeper tone. "We're supposed to be figuring out why that lab--" Wil points at the door in front of him "--is under control of clone supersoldiers called Knights, and why they seem to think they're defending Camelot or some shit. Then maybe rescue the scientists, or something, I don't know. I didn't pay that much attention. Anyway, we sent some pretty ladies and a dude inhabiting a robotic sex doll in to negotiate with the idiot controlling the clones, but judging from the explosion that just went off in there, that plan went about as well as I expected it to. Which is to say the women and creep are probably all dead. So now we fall back on plan B, and negotiate the old fashioned way, with guns. So yeah, we go in, kill everything that doesn't have tits, and try not to die. Simple enough for you?"
Charge into the lab and open fire on any KNIGHTs seen. With the ACA.
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 entirety of the remaining security team suddenly comes charging into the room, clearly gungho and looking for a fight. Or rather looking for the opprotunity to smear some hostiles with an overwhelming barrage of metal, fire, corrosive chemicals, and probably a hastily chucked power tool or two. Yet they find the room empty, except for their three injured ambassadors, a big crater in the metal, and a pit full of giant bugs. Pathos sticks his little robot head out from the Harem chamber and does a comical "Hello!" wave with one spider limb. The hostages come peeking out a few moments later and together the whole cluster of them join up with the security team. Aylamo gets under Elen's left arm while Tara gets under her right and help her up while Toots does the same with Ji. Everyone seems to be accounted for.
To the left, towards the labs with the insects, the sounds of gunfire and combat can be heard, distant and echoing against the metal. From the ceiling above the throne, a glowing ghost slides down into view, the severed- though still screaming- head of Grongor held in his grotesquely expanded mouth like a walnut in the grip of a nutcracker. He bites down hard and screaming stops. A few wet slurps later and he drifts back into the ceiling, cackling to himself.
Ok then.
