You don't even know what limits this SHIFTer's power has. Can multiple be active at once? Does any damage transfer back to them? How long of a cooldown does his power have? How much mental strain does it put on them?
Too little information to plan anything around aside from "HUNT THEM DOWN AND TRY KILLING THEM???" At least the old man can be countered by some gas masks and a burly man keeping an iron grip on his shoulder.
Only way from here is towards the machine. If you recall correctly, it's straight ahead from the manager's office. You take the lead with Benjamin and Seath trailing behind you, both keeping an eye out in case another nearly impossible to spot figure approaches.
Thankfully you only had to walk about 30 feet until you stumbled upon the room you're looking for. You can tell it's the room by the copious amount of dried blood trailing to and away from a rusted iron door. One that so happens to be firmly locked if your attempts to open it say anything. It seems locked from the inside so you can't lockpick it.
You, Benjamin and Seath all share a look.
"I got a big fucking anomalous mace. Ben, you take it." You toss over your MACE OF ACERBITY over to him. "How tough do you think your feet are?"
"Pretty tough. I can probably kick it down with some help."
Benjamin stares down at the porcelain mace that is now steadily leaking black ooze (thank fuck that doesn't happen when it's sitting in your inventory). A glint of VIOLENCE is in the otherwise jovial and nerdy man's eyes. "Let's do this."
Seath begins to rapidly smash his foot against the door, over and over again. Benjamin quickly joins in and starts wailing at the door with the PARADIGM you gave him. The door's already starting to twist and warp from the strain of their two attacks. Hell, the acid is already melting through the door.
Once it's all nice and weakened, you take a deep breath to focus all of your anomalous energy through your antlers. You got NOLNOL pills active, might as well use FOCUSED powers while you can. With your now empowered TELEKINESIS, you pry the sealed metal door right out of the doorway it was sitting in. You carry it about a solid four feet away before letting it CLUNK to the ground like dead weight.
Time to see what's inside.

Turns out, you tore your way into a repurposed freezer section of the factory. The first thing that hits you is a massive gust of artificial freezing cold air. Didn't affect you any but both Benjamin and Seath are shivering like crazy after being hit by that.
The freezer is remarkably spacious for what probably was meant to only hold piles on piles of frozen pizzas. The ceiling stretches as high as the main lobby's, which was made to fit all sorts of advanced machinery, and it's wide enough where you could easily fill it up with 200 people and still have enough room to easily move around in. The layout of it is simple, though.
