Back after a long hiatus
Lanius frantically tried to scrape the slug off of him on one of the pipes.

Integ tries throwing his laser pistol to his allies.
Lanius manages to scrape the slug off but his armor is breached; it'll need to be repaired before the armor can be used to let Lanius safely get back to the restaurant.
Integ throws the laser pistol away as hard as he can 1, 1, 1, 4. It bounces off a pipe and lands where Grock is able to reach out and pick it up with one of his normal sized hands. Integ feels him mind being absorbed a little more by Grock.

Back after a long hiatus
Trying his best not to breath through his nose, Lanius fires off another volley at Grock's head.
“Not a promise, not an oath, or a malediction or a curse. Inevitable." - Taylor Hebert
Lanius fires 6, 1, 4, 5, 2, 5, 4. Grock tries to duck 1, 2, 4, 4, 4 but fails miserably. Grock's health dips to 30%, then the slug heals him up to 35%.
Grock fires at Lanius 6, 2, 5, 1, 4. Lanius ducks 3, 4, 5, 2 but one of Grock's shots hit.
The good news is Lanus no longer needs to worry about fixing his armor. The bad news is that Lanius flops back, deceased.
Grock struggles to free himself 4, 5, 2, 3, 1 but is only partially successful. For his next escape roll, Grock will get to use 7 of his 11 dice, instead of just 5. Will still need 2 successes to get free.

Silence then decides to politely ask the Laser pistol Grock is holding to explode as best as it can, to be the best firework it can be.
Silence also decides to ask the piping if more methane can be pumped into the room.
The Fantabulous
"You cheeky c*nt!" Teslaa fires at Integ again, clearly not happy that she was the first to be shot at - mind control or no. She then quickly checks the machinery for a way to increase the amount of methane and other flammable gases in the room at a faster rate.
“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
Seeing the wounded Grock, Integ tries slamming the ball from his inventory into the monstrosity as hard as he could.
Integ's laser pistol listens to Silence's request 4, 3, 4 but decides it would prefer to go on existing.
Teslaa fires 6, 4, 3, 3, 5 hitting Integ twice.
Between Silence's 5, 2, 4 and Teslaa's 1, 1, 6, 2, 3, 6 the room begins filling with a dangerously high amount of methane.
Despite the pain, Integ tries to summon the mental control to activate the Pokeball 42 but fails.
Grock fires at Silence 6, 3, 2, 6, 6. Silence ducks 6, 6 but still gets hit once, knocking Silence's health to 25%
Grock struggles to escape the hole 7 dice, no success and fails miserably. Grock is now at 40% health.

"Rather suicidal Friend Computer!" Silence responded, before asking the Laser Pistol again, citing that going out in a glorious blaze is the ultimate on horribly killing someone.
Roll Machine Empathy again.
The laser pistol listens to Silence 2, 6, 4 and decides to try to give this death thing a try. It explodes, dealing 6 a large amount of damage to Grock but not enough to set off the methane. If only one of the trouble shooters had brought a weapon designed to trigger fire balls or explosions, perhaps even a deceased teammate.
Grock is now at 10% health.
" I'm sorry, but suicide is treasonous, Citizen. You have been awarded a treason star. Are you still experiencing treasonous suicidal tendencies? "

''"No. Thank you Friend Computer."
Silence groans and looks for the Cremator.
" Citizen Silence, as part of this mandatory voluntary grief counseling, how unhappy would you say you are, on a scale of one to five?"

The Fantabulous
Teslaa rushes to the remains of Lanius and picks up the Cremator, loading the only remaining powdered milk ammo. She lines up a shot at Grock and the surrounding fumes, muttering a quick prayer to Friend Computer and opening fire, "Die you fat, stinky bastard!"
“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”

Good to see my corpse was useful for something. 
The Fantabulous
Hey, in a minute it might get more useful if Teslaa needs a meat-shield.
“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
Integ summons all of his will power against the onslaught of Grock's mind 29 and manages to wrest control of the remnants of his body to pull forth a white and red colored sphere. He presses the sphere against Grock, pressing the single button on the ball-shaped device.
Integ's torso, head, and arms fall to the ground as Grock vanishes in a burst of light. Despite the horrors he has just come through, Integ smiles in his final moments, content that he has done his duty as a troubleshooter against physical and mental tortures that lesser mortals would not even dare contemplate.
The ball rocks once, twice, three times... escape attempt roll: 82. Fail. then settles. Grock is firmly trapped.
Teslaa grabs the Creamanator and whirls to discover that Grock is gone but there are several clear slugs, still infesting the sewer. Does she still want to fire?
"Die you fat, stinky bas... where'd he go?"

The Fantabulous
Teslaa stops short of firing and lowers the cremator, "The frak..." She sees the red and white ball and carefully approaches it. She eyes the device suspiciously for a moment before picking it up, "Ok, maybe we should get rid of that methane."
“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
Fenix lets out a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad that's done..."
The slugs begin attacking anyone with an unbreached suit.
The Fantabulous
Teslaa pockets the ball and immediately starts sprinting for the exit, "Book it!" She courteously advises her team over her shoulder, noticing that Silence has three treason stars as she passes him. Teslaa fires her pistol at his head but doesn't stop running, "Sorry! It's part of the plan, I swear!"
“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
Fenix also starts running, trying to influence the slugs to leave them alone.
Teslaa fires at silence 2 4 5 4 6. Silence, surprised, tries to duck 1 3 but is too slow to react.
" -bing- Attention, Teslaa-O-COI-3. You have just been reported as killing a teammate. Was this a result of your not completing the mandatory voluntary grief counseling session?"
With Fenix's ability to order the slugs away, Teslaa, Fenix, and Rocky can make their way back through the tunnel to Chex Henri.
Ineg-O-ITY-4, Silence-O-106-4, and Lanius-O-USS-4 wake up in three well padded chairs. There are several more empty chairs, making a total of six chairs facing a large table. Floating above the table is a rotating hologram of the Friend Computer citizen. Looking around, the three realize they are sitting in what used to be the Chez Henri dining area. The only other furniture in the large dining room is a fully stocked bar by the wall. Several guards, dressed in grey camoflauge jumpsuits and carrying very large chemically-powered rifles, are flanking the walls and glaring suspiciously at the troubleshooters.
A blonde woman dressed in a red one-piece swimsuit, fishnet stockings, high heels, and a headband with a large Friend Computer logo on the front. She is carrying a drink tray. "Hello. May I brink anyone a Bubbly, Bouncy Beverage or something stronger while you're waiting for the rest of your team?" she asks cheerfully.

The Fantabulous
Teslaa fires at Silence again, hoping to kill him quickly, No, Friend Computer - I have shot him as he is a traitor to Alpha Complex, this particular clone obvious being the cause of the recent disturbances and otherwise incriminating activity. She replies.
“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
Silence throws his pistol at Grock's direction. Grok swings his pipe to bat the pistol away 4, 6, 6, 3, 4, knocking the pistol far away enough so that if it explodes it will only deal Grock half damage.
Silence asks the laser pistol to detonate. 1, 3, 6 The laser pistol explodes Rolling one die for damage: 6! Dividing in half, that's still three with maximum force. Even at this distance that knocks Grock's health down to 40%. There is not currently enough methane in the atmosphere to ignite/explode.
Teslaa shoots at the remains of Integ 4, 4, 2, 2, 4 and misses.
Lanius shoots at the slugs, then watches as the laser bolt harmlessly passes through the slug's clear body. The slug eats away at Lanius's armor, breaching the air seal. Lanius is hit by two extremely unpleasent odors; first, the scent of rotting human feces and second, the smell of Grock. The feces smell better. Sanity check: 31 Despite the alien stench of Grock's body, Lanius manages not to throw up.
Integ Sanity check: 68, FINALLY is forced by Grock to aim and fire at Teslaa. 5, 4. Teslaa 4, 2, 5, 6, 5 easily manages to dodge the laser blast.
Grock struggles to free himself 1, 4, 5, 2, 2 in vain. Failing that, he picks up a chunk of floor grating and throws it at Silence 4, 6, 2, 3, 6. Silence tries to duck 6, 4 but is winged by the grating, knocking Silence down from 75% to 50% health.
The slugs on Grock heal Grock up to 45%.
Integ 17 gathers enough mental fortitude to attempt an action.
