Abut it collides far more solidly with Yagyu and sends him sprawing with a bloody head wound and what looks like a dislocated shoulder.
Does that mean I suddenly turned into a real boy again? Oh joy of joys!
... Anyways, get into cover! If I know of a way to get to that corridor via another way, try to sneak over there and have a peak to see who or what is throwing furniture at us. Goop it if it can be gooped, if not just relay the info back to the team and stay in cover.
If not, stay in cover for now and wait. If no more attacks are forthcoming, continue working on the door.

You tell me~
Despite a partially caved in metal head and malfunctioning arm, Yagyu crawls away from the furniture fusillade and attempts to find his way back around, to get behind whatever is pelting them.
[4]
He gets about halfway there, instead coming out of a hallway somewhere between the one he was in and where their attacker currently is. He peeks his head out to try and get a look at the thing. Its difficult to see in the blinking red light, but he can make out the shape of a man half laying on the ground, thin arms propping up his upper body. His head is both deformed and modified, strange bone horns curve upwards in chaotic spirals with what look like branching metal antennas clustered between them. The back half of his head is completely covered in a metal skullcap which extends down his back and follows his spine, smaller antennas sprouting from it like weeds through a sidewalk crack. His head is lulling about randomly and you can hear his labored, wheezing, apparently mechanically augmented breathing. As you watch, another table drifts put of a side room and past him. It stops in mid air, begins to spin at an increasingly rapid rate, and then shoots off down the hall.
[8][8v8][3]
Yagyu pushes the tip of his foam sprayer around the corner and opens fire at full power. The goo flies down the hall and...stops mere inches away from the psychic assailant, slamming into an invisible barrier. Despite this, it still expands rapidly and blocks off most of the hall.

Carefully make my way around the corner, being careful and dodging whatever it thrown. Shoot my foam gun at whatever is throwing things, if this thing is invisible, shoot at the air near something as it is being lifted, aiming for the air around it. Invisible things can still be hit. Of course if the thrower is visible, shoot them
[1]
Tara, peeks around the corner and sees, maybe 40 feet away, the fight between Yagyu and the psychic. She attempts to draw and fire in one smooth motion but accidentally sprays foam all over her own feet and sticks herself to the floor.
"BRB, dealing with IKEA-geist."
It's only polite to let the opposing general I'm not talking because I'm AFK and that I'm not being intentionally impolite.
Switch vision to full FPS. Run to the source of the furniture, relay what I find to teammates. Use motion sensor to help with detection and dodging.
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 crawls onto Tara's head and gets video of the psychic and Yagyu's current tussle. He then broadcasts that video- and his current location- out to all the other various teammates who have wandered off around the complex.
"Allright, stop whatever is throwing the stuff, gotcha. I'm right behind you."
Let my senpai enter the room first. Once shit starts getting thrown at her, pop around the corner, locate what is throwing said shit, and pop it gangsta style with my pistol.
Also attempt to dodge objects if they are thrown at me.
Class: Cultist
Name: Richter
Physical Description: Your average 30-something millenial geek. Unkempt, looks like he hasn't slept in weeks. Hair's a mess, eyes are bloodshot and red.
Background: Used to work in a fast food restaurant, until he dropped a box of fries on the floor and they fell into an eldritch pattern. Since then, he's convinced that some dark force is out to get him. Has recurring dreams about drowning in a vast sea of purple, running from a two headed snake through a sea of yoghurt, and something very faint about a sheep. Blinks with one eye at a time so as to minimize the time with his eyes closed. Took a job with OMNITECH because they promised him things would get weird, and he figured he might get to the bottom of whatever is haunting him.

Richter, who was OBVIOUSLY here the entire time, uses Tara's body as a shield and attempts to snipe the distant enemy with his pistol.
[4][4v3][4]
He fires three shots down the hall, each carefully aimed. The first two don't seem to do anything, but the last one results in the clang of metal and a filing cabinet that was flying down the hall suddenly drops to the ground and bounces to a stop under its own power.
A moment later what looks like a beaten up gray sedan screams around the corner behind the team and starts careening down the hall towards them and the psychic.
Finish putting on my armor, then stick with the team.
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.

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.

[2][12][
Ji (now in armor), Burt, Anya, and Gabe all manage to find each other in the same room; the testing room with all its gray objects, including the car. For safety they all pile into the car and use it as cover from any attacks that might come at them...though none are at the moment. With the Generator providing power, Burt -in the driver seat- attempts to hotwire the car, but fails. Anya, in the passenger seat, shakes her head at his flailing and proceeds to hotwire it for him. A little too well as it turns out. The car not only starts up but starts peeling rubber immediately, the acceleration apparently locked to max. [4] Burt pulls the car into a fishtail and then straight out the door of the room, scraping walls and barely managing to make the turns while Gabe and Ji in the back seat scream at him to slow down.
It is about this time that Pathos sends out the signal of where the rest of the team is and what they're fighting. In hindsight Burt might, if he survives, claim that he drove towards that marker to help the team or to try and get aid from them. The truth is that in his panicked state he was working entirely on instinct and didn't even realize he was driving towards the rest of the team until the car rounded a corner on two wheels. It pulls through a grinding skid and then shoots off down the hall, straight towards the psychic, the wall of foam, and anyone sticking their heads out into the hall. Its about 150 feet away now, still further from the psychic than any of the team on foot, but quickly closing the distance.
