I use my space stone to teleport behind the cover of the rifle mooks and smash their heads together, then I yell "HEY SMASHY MIC SMASHYFACE COME AND GET ME" and the 16 health smash mook runs through the barricades and he trips and skins his face, arms, chest, legs, and no longer has a shirt or a nose.

I summoned it like 7-9 rounds ago
I throw the modified pistol on the ground and stomp on it.
"ITS USELESS!!! BLEEPING USELESS!!!!." I then go on this crazy rant that does not even make any sense at all.
I attempt to sneak up on the Mook Snipers and slice them to bits with my Lightsaber.

Syndicate Uplink (10/10)
--
The Syndicate Uplink is a device capable of summoning certain weapons and tools. However, there IS a limit.
The device starts with 20 telecrystals (TC). Every summon uses a certain amount of TC and an action. You cannot summon something if you do not have the requisite TC.
In addition, the device is limited to summoning items listed here. (Nuke strike team items are off limits.) They do not necessarily have the effects provided there (as that page is for a different game).
Exactly how they work is up to the GM to decide, but a suggested cost and effect will be provided.
TC can be provided by the GM for any reason desired.
At the end of a chapter, all items summoned by the Uplink permanently disappear (unless resummoned). There is no way to prevent this process. TC are not refunded.
If the uplink is too OP for a 10 charge, just let me know and I'll resume charging.
ACTION
Order a Toy Gun...?
UPLINK
Toy Gun (3 TC)
A toy gun that fires foam darts. It is incapable of harming anyone.
Oh, did I mention that this one fires reusable riot-grade darts that are quite effective at incapacitation?
it says 'Eggs: 8'. that implies it has 8 eggs, not 2.
I take some wood, craft it to planks, craft That to sticks, and make a nest for the chicken to sit in.
??? 16.5/20 (+1 from charging)
HP 24/24
I lightning bolt the mooks, then lighting bolt the mooks, then lighting bolt the mooks, then lighting bolt the mooks, then lighting bolt the mooks...
<null>
The only mooks out there are the Snipers and Smash Mooks- there's only one Smash Mook left, so you target the Snipers. One of them hides behind cover, but the other takes 2 damage!
It's really a skill that's developed over time. Start by describing your actions more in detail- for instance, if you say "I lightning bolt the Mooks", you could enhance that by saying "I call lightning bolts from my fingertips and zap the Smash Mooks with it". Again, you'll get better with practice.
After the rant I start thinking of creative ways to kill mooks even though i have none.
"Oh BLEEP it." I then kick an mook straight in the you-know-what.
The Smash Mooks are the only ones in kicking range, so you'll target them.
Actually, I don't know what. Would you target the face? The shin? The all-important appendix, if Mooks even have it? No matter. Your kick deals 4 damage!

[Equipment note?]
I'm willing to rework it into something more reasonable, well, as reasonable as a weapon intended to be upgraded or modified as the game goes on can be?
The original intent was going to be crafting the add-ons for it as charges, but it might be better to go with something simpler, like a mini leveling system, or just a a skill usable every few turns?

A skill usable every few turns sounds nice, but a leveling system would be pretty unique, as long as there'd be a way to lose those levels, so that you'd have to fight to stay at the top. I'd like to hear more about your idea!
Excellent. You deal 10 damage to the Smash Mook, cleaving it wide open! Smash Mook killed!

An item can only be used once every round, so you can't use the Lightsaber. Regardless, you do attack the Sniper for 4 damage!
========[End-of-Turn Events]========
Major Persecles urges medics to attend to the injured soldiers, one of which sunnyau brought back from the dead! He pokes the Smash Mook that laid the (initially) fatal blow in the head with his trident for good measure.
The Argynth Scouts motion move to the outpost's left flank- it appears they've spotted something there. The Major takes their advice, replaces his injured men, and heads on to the left flank.
When you arrive there, the Scouts point out a location which they think might be some sort of terminal! If they (or, failing that, you) hack it, they might get some information which would be useful to tracking the Acolyte!
An immense melee detachment has mobilized to counter the Argynth threat- and it looks like a Mook Leader is buffing some of them! Some Armored Mooks and Powered Mooks are in it too! Thankfully, no Smash Mooks are in this battle.
Thankfully, ranged resistance seems to be (relatively) light. Some Mortar teams have set up shop here to counter the Wary Souls, but the only other ranged enemies are a smaller squad of ten Mooks with semi-automatics. Whether they're pistols or battle rifles, they all deal the same damage- game logic!
The Snipers appear to have mobilized as well- and two more have joined their ranks! They haven't fired a shot this turn!
========[Sidequest Events]========
The Mining Turtle keeps mining, producing 4 bits of Cobblestone!
The Furnaces burn more Tar to produce additional Iron Ingots!
The CHICKEN produces two more eggs!
====[The Battlefield]====
A flat savannah full of trees and tall grass. The Acolyte isn't anywhere to be seen, but there are plenty of Mooks in his place.

It's really a skill that's developed over time. Start by describing your actions more in detail- for instance, if you say "I lightning bolt the Mooks", you could enhance that by saying "I call lightning bolts from my fingertips and zap the Smash Mooks with it". Again, you'll get better with practice.
[Equipment Note]
A simple leveling system, with a low cap, at a symbolic number, like three, five, or even the game's current chapter? Damage done to enemies would be tracked to fill a meter, with higher levels requiring more damage to reach. Each level other than the top one would add to some small, incremental buff, and a special attack of some sort would be used upon maxing out the gauge while already at maximum level, resetting back to the baseline.
The fine details of such a system are likely best left to your management, for the sake of balance.
