What happened to the guys who remained inside the EDPC and didn't venture out? Are we also deaf?
Not deaf, but probably very shaken.
"MY EARSDRUMS-Wait, I can regrow them...Well there goes Yak, this just goes to show they don't buld alien deamontech like they used to. I swear it all went wrong when they outsourced to Mars.
SAM grabs the remaning bits of Yak in case the crew can staple him bacm together and skiddadle into the EDPC.
Name: Samantha "SAM" Endashale
Description: Sam used to be a research scientist at a prestigious biotech company until her distressing vigor for human experimentation got her fired. That, or perhaps the 3 graduate students that went missing under her tutelage. Regardless of the reason, she ended up finding work at OMNITECH. She chose a field position herself, and seems to be eagerly awaiting the chance to try....something....
She currently looks like a swiss guy's greatest wetmare.

Sam runs straight back into the now very on fire building and scoops up what seems to be the largest chunk of Yagyu- along with something else big and shiny- before booking it to the EdPC.
Remain inside the EDPC that I never ventured outside of. Cover my eardrums assuming I still have them. Meditate on the ruined compound and try to listen for the screams of the dammed. Try to recall the basics of demon summoning.
Name: Robert Baldwin
Physical Description: A tall and thin man with green eyes and shoulder-length brown hair. You'd almost mistake him for a hippy if it weren't for how well-groomed he was. His hair has a shine to it that one could only get from the most expensive of shampoos and conditioner, while his complexion is flawless. No one knows where he gets his personal hygiene products from.
Background: In a past life, Robert had been a famous architect who distinguished himself with his avant garde designs. Life was good for the young upstart, until his preference for beauty over practicality caught up with him.
His biggest achievement, the Sierra Space Resort was a massive space station meant to house the wealthiest of space tourists. Modelled after a dance device from a bygone era, the station was a giant ball covered almost entirely in mirrors. It would reflect the light of a local star and spread it throughout the cosmos, broadcasting its brilliance to anyone in the solar system. This gave it the nickname the "Dazzle Star".
Though the clientele loved it, locals would get very pissed whenever the D-Star touched down in their corner of space. The reflected sunlight wreaked havoc on nearby planets, starting wildfires and even boiling oceans. Eventually enough people got mad and banded together to form a rebellion. The station was not designed to defend against such attacks and was quickly blown up, along with all the upper-classmen inside it.
Someone had to pay for that bloodshed, so Robert ended up facing the suit's wrath. As punishment he was cryogenically frozen for 200 years. Long enough to go out of style.
After serving his sentence, Baldwin applied for a job at OMNI, but the suits confused his unusual floorplans for diagrams of summoning circles. Robert was hired on the spot, but it was only during his second week of basic training did he realize that he may not have gotten the job he was looking for...

OMNITECH Black Jumpsuit
The standard OMNITECH jumpsuit. Covers everything but the head, hands, and feet. Stain resistant, waterproof, breathable, light, and overall comfortable as everyday wear. Offers no protection against anything more dangerous than a spilled cup of coffee. Has the employee’s name stenciled on the back like a sports jersey. This one is Black and has a smaller “OCCULT” stenciled across the right side of the chest, just under the collar bone.
OMNITECH Generic Personal Sidearm (d4 ranged attack) x3 Magazines (d4 use die)
One of the “Generic” brand of OMNITECH weapons which are ubiquitous in OMNITECH installations. The Generic Personal Sidearm is a handgun as drawn by a 9 year old; A gray rectangle with a gray rectangle grip and a trigger that looks more like a light switch with a trigger guard that looks like an allen wrench. It is uncomfortable, unappealing, and very clearly designed by the lowest bidder, but can effectively put .45 slugs into targets.
OMNITECH Universal Containment Pod x 4
OMNITECH Containment pods resemble a clear tube held in between two large metal ends with long rods forming a cage and reinforcing structure around the tube. One of the metal ends has an iris design to allow it to open and allow a sample in before clamping shut. Though the tubes look to be glass they are a multilayer reinforced acrylic that is remarkably strong and non-reactive.
OMNITECH Universal Containment Pod with Golden Mushroom and Aluminum
OMNITECH Null-Rod
The Null-rod is a collapsible rod made of the same non-reactive acrylic as the inner lining of the containment pods. Used by Cultists for the investigative prodding and poking of things that look dangerous.
Ceremonial Dagger (d4, uses occult, die explodes and increases level each explosion)
A prototype self defense weapon with an entangled connection to the Highly Evil, Logarithmically Lethal plane (H.E.L.L.). Has an over designed appearance to it with a human bone handle and a hooked, serrated blade, almost like a linoleum knife designed by someone who wants to make the linoleum suffer. It’s unknown if the design is somehow conducive to the entanglement or if it's just someone’s idea of a joke. Normally the knife functions like any other mundane instrument of murder, but occasionally it will manifest high levels of H.E.L.L. resonance, producing short lived demonic emissions on contact. Has no OMNITECH branding and never saw a commercial release as of yet due to concerns of cross dimensional bleedover and possession.
OMNITECH EMP grenade (d20 damage, only effects electronics. Single use)
OMNITECH Placed charge (Demo pack, with remote, 3d10 damage, single use)
OMNITECH Reactive fabric cape (1d6 life)
Gentleman's Pipe
This isn't a pipe. This is a text-based description of a pipe. And also a pipe.
Octarine Tobacco
An ancient plant from 200 years ago. Used to be all the rage among people with "alternative" lifestyles, but it fell out of style once corporations began selling it legally. Turns out that once the man was in on it, nobody wanted to buy it anymore. By now it would be extinct if it weren't for the single potted plant in Baldwin's room. In the end, Baldwin was a sellout.
Idea Tube
An old treasure from a past life. Even back then everything was done in CAD, but Baldwin always wanted to stand out. He drew his designs by hand and would store them here for safe keeping along with spare paper and writing tools. This created a tempting prize for any aspiring paparazzi, which lead to him being frequently covered in various magazines. He owes his career to those guys.

If we know the location of any teammates who got blown away, see if we can't swing by and pick them up, but priority one is getting some distance between ourselves and this fucked up situation.
Name: Edward Paganini Scrum
Description: Edward has the look of a grumpy boulder, an impassive craggy face with lumpy, half swollen features. Once he made deal with a dog-sized flea in the cargo hold of a helium trawler near Jupiter. That trawler never made it back to port, but Edward did. He's been itchy ever since. Sometimes he sees things in the machines he fixes, sometimes he knows things he shouldn't. He won't talk about how he got here, what he intends to do, or what the deal he made was. He is quiet, fatalistic, distant, but prone to occasionally ramble with a distant look in his eyes. He's 36, but he looks 60.

The EdPC, now with everyone inside it, absolutely floors it. It takes a few moments for the big electric motors to rev up to full speed but within 15 seconds the EdPC is barreling down the nearest main road at 80 MPH (128 kph). A family of meandering landsquids gets turned into pulp against its bumper. Several dozen cars are blasted out of the way by its wedge shaped front guard. Even at full speed and with very little regard for safety, they only just make it. The rising cloud of smoke from the burning warehouse transforms into a momentary dome of white as the rest of the explosive material within goes up all at once. The sound hits moments before the shockwave, for those still able to hear it at least. The blast lifts the rear half of the EdPC off its tires for a few seconds and the vehicle nearly spins out as it is thrown forward by the force of the shockwave. It slides and grinds to a halt, managing to stay on its wheels.
((Pity it didn't blow up when Wilfred set every computer system in the building on fire. It would've been amusing if he tried to disable the turrets, and then made everything explode.))
"Urghh... fuck... Derp...? Why'd it... why was... there explosives? Fuuuck, why didn't it blow up when I melted the cameras? Yags...? Whadda we do now?"
Grab the broken arm, if it's nearby, then... cripple crawl further away? Considering Wilfred went through six buildings I assume he's a good distance away, but more distance might not hurt.
Name: Wilfred Seven
Physical Description: An exaggerated eight-foot tall linebacker-shaped machine constructed out of slabs of white metallo-ceramic armor, laid atop a barely visible metallic undercarriage. Its legs are stumpy compared to its arms, with a bulbous body due to the double rocket jump pack embedded between its shoulders.
--The hardsuit's right arm has been torn off, and its right leg has been badly crushed.
Inside, he's a plain robotic body.
Background: He was batch manufactured along with nine other Wil 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 six, 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.

--Scouted Smiles territory from the air
--Summoned a ghost rat which led him to an entrance into the tunnels under Smiles territory.

--...Accidentally knocked out the Smiles' entire hospital base with a ghost nuke. Accidentally. But, like, again. Technically our enemy.
--......Aaaaaand then accidentally melted the guards guarding the scientist target, the other scientists, and the scientist we wanted to kidnap. VERY TECHNICALLY THESE WERE ALL OUR ENEMIES.
--At least Wil grabbed the scientist's soul right after killing him?
--Accidentally summoned a fifteen-story skeleton kaiju in the middle of the Smiles base, probably fucking over everyone there who wasn't already fucked over. Which... honestly, at this point, Wil should try to negotiate contracts with the corporations recording all this.
--Interrogated the ghost of the former institute scientist, gaining presumably valuable intel.
--Destroyed an evacuating Smiles van.
--Accidentally destroyed all the computers in an institute building we wanted to investigate. Technically some of these were hostile computers controlling turrets, so it wasn't counterproductive in the end. No, not counterproductive at all...

Your arm is close by, so you tear yourself free from the rubble and hobble over to it. You tuck it under your remaining arm and activate your rockets. They don't blow up, so thats a good sign. You rise out of the rubble and skim off away from the boiling cloud of smoke.
When the second blast hits it completely tumbles you again, this time through the glass front window of an abandoned deli. You end up half behind, half inside the meat counter. Not hurt any more than before but starting to get tired of this shit.

go drive through the gate
Whatever there is on the other side, it must be important if the makers used occult stuff to trap consciousnesses to it
The gate that is currently closed? Wanna just ram it open eh? Alright.
[5]
You charge the gate in your converted motorized movie theater and...the gate opens for you. You drive straight into blinding white light and....suddenly find yourself rumbling noisily straight through a corn field. You can't really see anything other than tall corn stalks buffeting the windshield, stalks all around you, and blue sky above.
The warehouse blast has raised a reddish smoke cloud miles high and utterly demolished anything near the building while badly damaging things further out. This isn't a huge deal: the place was already pretty damaged so who is going to notice some new broken windows? Answer: Everyone. Because that blast was big enough and the smoke cloud obvious enough to draw some major attention from the locals. Drones are already circling in and the vague distant shouts of men and the crack of gunfire can be heard.
