"So I uh, grabbed what's left of Yag and this hard drive thingie. So do any techies wanna take a look or should I crack it open with a rock or something?"
SAM awaits any response, if none is given, it's time to crack the hard drive open and see what lies in it's organs
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.

Wilfred sits up atop the APC, looking out at the military's losing battle. "Aww, fuck Derp... my accidental boner is destroying the military too?" Wilfred heaves a heavy sigh. "I should've expected this..."
Access Sam's flash drive, see what useful data is on it, if anything. See if Wilfred can't contact whatever command infrastructure we have, too.
"Alright, friends and expendables whose names I can't recall, now that Yagyu is dead, we need a plan. Raiding the Bizarre is great, I've got some spare guns to give to anyone who needs one. After that, I wager we should head north to the scientist sighted up in the wilderness. See what he knows, and after we kill and interrogate him, we head into the red zone to figure shit out. That is, unless command lets us just give up and leave before we all die. Any thoughts?"
"...Also, does anyone know where that fucking repair alligator went? I need a mechanic to fix my leg."
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' hospital intranet without getting any useful information... but, like, technically the Smiles are our enemy, so...
--...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.
----Said skeleton kaiju then left to attack the military perimeter around Detroit. Who weren't our enemy, but I guess they are now.
--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...
"It seems we've made things even worse here somehow, and this probably makes me a bad person but I don't feel myself caring that much."
"Guys! Do you know what this means? The bizarre is probably unguarded! We could loot a bunch of artifacts and become filthy rich!"
"Yes let us go and rob the place, it'll make all the chaos we've caused worth it."
Get on board the loot the bizarre train! Also look at Wilfred's leg and see what it'll take it fix it.

"Guys! Do you know what this means? The bizarre is probably unguarded! We could loot a bunch of artifacts and become filthy rich!"
Several on the party bus voice their desire to rob the locals. Wilfred, the de facto leader by virtue of having the largest and most metallic ass, decides that this is a tremendous plan. Really, a great plan. One of the best. He commands the EdPC onward and keeps himself busy by attempting to crack open the hard drive and see what lives within.
[9]
The hard drive proves surprisingly easy to get into. At least for Wilfred. It contains 3 things: First, a huge schematic for some sort of machine. And when I say huge I mean huge. Size of a building huge. Sorting through it will take a bit. Second: a folder containing tens of thousands of images. They appear to be scientific in nature, showing lab rooms, items with scale rules next to them, people being affixed to some sort of chair, etc. If someone went through them, they might be able to find a pattern or discern what's going on. Finally, another folder filled with audio files. They were clearly pumped out and designed to be accessed by some sort of program as they have names that are just 64 character alphanumeric strings with no real coherent order. There are several hundred of these.
As per this raid on the Bizarre, how we handling it? You wanna drive straight up to the gate? Wanna drive straight THROUGH the gate? Park a while off and move in on foot? Whats the plan, guys.

[5] Occult power is generally not something that resides in people or something which they can gather on their own. Occult power is sort of like magnetism; its a property that exists in some places, in some objects, and due to some actions. For humans to attain it would generally mean either just using arcane items to do their will or somehow transferring the Occult energy from the objects into themselves. This is possible, usually by making the item somehow part of them, but often has unpleasant side effects.

“Bob, I need you to not attack them, they are not hostile right now, we came for info not bloodshed”
[6]
You talk to the people there for a while, at first shouting from the car and then eventually being directed closer and talking across the fence. The long and sort of it is this.
1. They're former employees of the institute at the heart of all this weirdness.
2. They had been living on the outskirts of the containment zone after escaping the city for quite a while. They had advanced weaponry and tech from the institute which they used to survive.
3. One of their members thought up a plan to escape the quarantine zone based on past research done at the institute.
4. They returned to the city, as closer to the red zone as they dared, and "gathered" humans who came to attack them.
5. They built this gate in order to escape to a near reality, one without the disaster, where they could live.
6. This reality is that place, unfortunately it seems like in this reality there is no humanity. At least none that they've seen.
7. The warm welcome is because they were worried you were just random raiders having come through the gate.
8. It is possible to get back, but difficult. Requires correct timing and help from others.
