Well this looks cool, throwing in a character sheet if I'm able to join this festival of horrors:
Name: Jonathan Sommer
Physical Description: An average-sized man with an athletic build, red handle-bar moustache, and a southern twang. He walks with a slight limp.
Background: Jonathon Sommer was raised on a backwater moisture farm in a rural Martian outpost, where he mostly did nothing and got bored, before becoming a paramedic in a nearby metropolis, where he also got bored, before applying to OMNICORP.

Welcome. I assume you know where you are and such? Or have you not read the last few posts?
Uuuugggh. Okay, I procrastinated way too long about what to buy. Uh, if I can still do the before-mission stuff, Wil will leave his ACA in his room, then go to the loan shark and take out another loan. This time for 303 credits, which he will use to buy a Cognition Copier, eleven (!) spare mags for the security rifle, and nose plugs. Oh, and if Security doesn't actually possess controls for their shock implants, increase the loan by however much one of those costs. 200 in the armory buys one implant and two controls, so I'd presume it isn't too expensive just to buy a button on a transmitter alone?
Give the shock implant controller to Pathos.
Standing orders throughout the entire misson: If Wil spots humans who are not part of the security team, he will shoot them. Since he's not using low FPS vision, he will be controlled if he sees Derp, and will therefore not shoot Derp. Additionally, if Wil spots video screens that haven't been destroyed, or speakers that haven't been destroyed, or any similar things that could project perception of Derp, he will shoot them on sight.
Finally, Wil will try and keep up a running mantra of just how much he hates Derp, and wants the bastard to die, painfully and violently. Have this be constantly transmitted on the team channel, or at least to Pathos, going double for when other people are all blindfolded. Keep it fresh and interesting by constantly thinking up new details for the tortures Derp should be subjected to. Pathos has permission to shock Wil if he stops talking about how much he hates Derp. Yes, even if it's obvious Wil isn't controlled; being painfully electrocuted whenever he stops should give great motivation to keep the mantra going forever.
FINALLY, the actual action, take point and enter the server room. Don't shoot controls for the servers, but other screens that look like they're more for general display are still fine for shooting. Redouble the hatred mantra as the server room is entered, really get into 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.

Touch: Riot armor
First paragraph, fine. Implant remote code to pathos, stuff bought, loan taken out (I assume the earlier one was paid off).
Alright.
Also ok. A bit psychotic but fine.
Wilfred barrels into the room, shouting something about "Drill bit Urethral exploration", and proceeds to [3][8] spray several rounds into a monitor and the area around the monitor. I'm assuming he's using his rifle not his acid launcher despite what his sheet says. Oh he also screamingly smashes a desktop speaker with the butt of his rifle.
"Look at the bright side. They might know we're here, but they must have known we'd be coming sooner or later. And with all that noise nobody will be able to hear us coming and he won't be able to exert control through speech. Isn't that right Mr. Omni?"
Wait for the team to be ready to move on. While I wait, check the motion sensor, see if I can make out any movement beyond this room.
EDIT: If any of my teammates decide to move out, help by checking out the rooms they're going to.
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.

ERROR: RESPONSE NOT FOUND Says Mr. Omni with a smile. The fact that the eyeball is smiling is very unnerving.
Pathos checks the motion tracker and, after seeing that there's no motion other than the apparent Brownian motion of meandering teammates, follows Wilfred into the server room. Despite Wilfred's enthusiastic murder of consoles, Pathos thinks he could probably still connect to this server.
Just gonna do this now before the moment is gone: lvl tech, buy enviro scanner (50), try to sell green liquid (assume this was done before leaving for the mission if possible).
For actual action: scan room before people go in, if no obvious signs of trouble let them go in and go in myself. Also scan tooth if I find a moment.

Ok, Ooze sells for 150.
Yagyu scans things. He scans doors and rooms and teeth and everything comes up as mundane and non-dangerous.
Dont go near the tooth, and be ready to tackle/stun my teammates when they inevitably get controlled by it. If nothing eventful happens, proceed in the most logical direction.
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.

check a couple of the miscellaneous side rooms for anything of value, like a map, or money, or an okay weapon.
Name: Anya Sokolova
Physical Description: Wiry, roughly 6'4/193 cm tall, Anya cuts a striking figure compared to the diminutive height of most women at OMNITECH. Her nearly shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes merely amplifies that affect
Background: born in some rural shithole in Novosibirsk, Anya worked on her parents farm, mainly fixing up their only tractor. She decided to join the Russian engineer troops to make something of herself. One... eventful career later, and she decided it be better to go to OMNITECH than the Hague. Sometimes she wonders if that was the good choice.

The rest of the group, some with bullets up their nose, others with blindfolds on, still others with tooth based paranoia, spread out. They wander hither and thither, shaking the handles to doors, blindly patting the walls, crashing though offices and supply closets and even an empty room here and there. Toby, on all fours, scuttles around the tooth like some sort of fidgety man-cat, occasionally working up the courage to poke it with one finger before skittering back. The end result of all this hoopla is the following things.
1. The tooth is not dangerous, but is pretty gross.
2. Sadly there are no armories the first 200 or so feet of either of these hallways. Not even so much as a slingshot, but Ji does manage to accidently discover a thumb drive tapped to the underside of a desk in one of the abandoned rooms while searching for hidden weapons.
3. Burt discovers that the passage to the right actually forks again, this time with paths forwards, and to the left and right, from his perspective. The forward and left are rather more of the same, but down the right hand passsage he can see some smears of blood on the white walls and some spray patterns on the ceiling. There's even a lump of something maybe 60 feet away!
4. Tara- whose nose is no longer bloody, no- stumbles blindly through a door and trips over something. She can't see what it is, but she ends up sprawled on it. And though she cannot see, she can feel a cold squishiness and smell something increadibly bad.
