I'd say that's mission accomplished as far as I'm concerned. Leave these lovely ladies to the care of our speech oriented colleagues so that they can receive the proper care and/or sign the necessary liability waivers and/or have their memories wiped while I report to our simian overlords. Unless they want me to stick around, in which case I'll wait for them to be ready to leave so I can follow them.
Pathos made sure to give a thumbs up (or as close as he could manage as a spider) to Jon's ghost. It was nice of him to take care of Grongor's ghost. It would be unfortunate if he had some creepy nerd's ghost haunting him in search of revenge or something silly like that.
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.

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.

This group of security men, women, and spiders is a credit to their station. They carry the wounded out, the escort the hostages, they report to their superiors and such. All the things that get them money and acclaim and lack of being gutted by auditors. This group is also now basically safe and away, ready for further work. We'll leave them alone for now and instead focus on the very
interesting ideas.
Though the mission was a success, Nik still couldn't help but feel disappointed in the outcome. The objective was to neutralize the robots and rescue the hostages with as minimal property damage as possible, but with the way things were going, this lab and the KNIGHTS would soon go the way of Grognor. When he made his plan he knew this would happen, but one can't help feeling that there could have been a better way...
By the time Nik arrived at the door he was panting. He passed by it during the rush to the throne room, but in the excitement of an upcoming battle he had forgotten it. Now that things have calmed down, he could better grasp of the significance of the words "AUDITOR ACCESS ONLY"
"HEY GUYS!!! I THINK I FOUND THE MEANS TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE BOTS! CAN SOMEONE COME OVER AND OPEN ANOTHER DOOR FOR ME!"
Examine the door controls. If there is no keycard slot or other kind of security feature, just open it up and examine the room. Otherwise wait for someone to come over who is better prepared to open it, preferably with a welding torch.
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.

((If anyone’s wondering how I know about that door, I believe it was mentioned in Pathos’ action resolution on page 98. Alternatively, you can just type AUDITOR ACCESS ONLY in the search bar.))

Go to the AUDITOR ACCESS ONLY door and wait to see if it can be opened, if it can't be opened cut it open with my torch.

[1v11]
Harold steps forwards and produces his cutting torch, He kneels down and gets to work, cutting from the bottom of the door. He cuts, oh, maybe a foot of metal before the door suddenly slides open, retracting into the ceiling with a metallic noise like a knife sliding over a whet stone. Beyond the doorway is nothing but darkness, shadow that the light of the room fails to penetrate. Then there is a sound- the hiss of sharp edges cutting air- and a glimmer of something half seen. Harold's body rocks backwards and tumbles over. Toots and Nik look down and only after a moment of confusion realize that Harold's head has been ripped clean from his shoulders.
VIOLATION OF EMPLOYEE CODE LR-379-4: WILLFUL TAMPERING OR DESTRUCTION OF AUDITOR PROPERTY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH EMPLOYEE AGREEMENT, DISCIPLINARY MEASURES AUTHORIZED AND ONGOING.The voice, all bass and metallic echo, rumbles out of the darkness like a techno thunderclap. And something begins to unfurl out into the room. Neither Toots or Nik can see it well; its mostly invisible, only glanced as distortion in the air. Like ice gliding through water, a shimmer, an area of open air with slightly different refractory properties than that around it, bent or bulging.
[5v15][4v10]
Something seems to scrape the wall, to gouge the metal on the floor and ceiling around them. They have a moment to wonder whats happening, to step back in instinctual fear, before they see their bodies flying about around them like cubed meat confetti. Perhaps they are still alive when the barely seen thing picks their heads up off the ground and carries them into the shadows. Or perhaps they are mercifully dead and unrecoverable, unable to see what lies beyond the door. Whatever the case, Nik, Toots, and Harold disappear that day and not even a drop of blood or shred of skin is left to tell where they went.
"Awww, I wanted to kill somebody with this thing. This mission has been so disapppointing, all I've gotten is a new cat! Ugh."
Go explore the KNIGHTs' quarters. Look for weapons and armor to loot, especially armor. Preferably human usable armor. Also look for ways to control the KNIGHTs, but that's not the priority.
If KNIGHTs are encountered, melt them.
((What is this from? It's adorable and I want more of it.))
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 leaves the group and heads to the left, into the area loosely considered the KNIGHT quarters. He gets all of 15 or so feet in before one of the armor clad brutes runs into the room, apparently retreating from something deeper in. Wilfred is so startled by the appearance that he just sort of stands there are the KNIGHT rounds to face him. The KNIGHT whips a sword out in an uppercut slash, but the blade hisses straight past Wilfred's ear in a narrow miss. Wilfred returns fire with a shot from the hip and the spray of corrosive fluid arcs over the KNIGHT's shoulder and splatters a distant wall.
Another KNIGHT charges into the room a moment later, and judging by the stomping of feet there are more behind him.
"Welp, time to get to work."
Get down on my hands and knees and search the wreckage for shit to loot. Grab as many meaty gibbets, charred remains and literally shit-filled intestines that I can fill my grubby little hands with.
