Despite NPCs being immune to portal storms, it seems that the pulsating material monsters that spew lightning still damage npcs regardless, which I unfortunately encountered when it ended up killing the intercom npc at Hub 01. Thankfully I saved beforehand but I feel like this is a massive oversight. I’ll likely just stay away from NPCs from now on
