Mission 1. Round 12.
Warrior bugs race closer to 600'. Plasma remains at 1880'.
Trooper #2 does not stand up again after the plasma blast... looks like he is dying.
Trooper #4 opens up on full auto at bug #1, (Modified ranged attack roll of 10 + 3 (AB) - 8 (ranged) = 5, a miss).
Kate sounds surprised as she says, "What are you doing? Unlock that door so that I can open it this instant!". She remains at the controls however keeping the slingshot grounded.
The squad can hear the indistinct shouting of the star marshal through Kate's intercom, "Take off or I shoot! TAKE OFF, TAKE OFF I AM NOT GOING BACK!", "BAM, BAM, BAM", shots are heard.
Sergeant Lawson moves around to the front of the slingshot to see what is happening inside, he can see the star marshal aiming his Morita at Robert? As he is still watching he instinctively ducks as he sees muzzle flashes, not that the rounds would pierce the windshield though...
The star marshal fires a 5 round burst at Robert, (Modified ranged attack roll of 15 + 6 (AB) + 1 (PB) - 4 (Burst fire) = 18, a hit doing 14hp damage!), the bullets rip through Roberts combat flight suit leaving critical wounds in his left shoulder and neck. Robert slumps forward on top of the firing controls spraying the ground to the west of the slingshot with bullets...
Cyrill can't believe his eyes when he gets to the bay door, moved to AA-21, and finds it locked?
Carl moves 140' north of the defensive line.
Melara and Jacob make better progress carrying the injured trooper, they are surprised to hear the heavy gunfire coming from the slingshot.
Rudy takes a shot at bug #4, (Modified ranged attack roll of 10 + 7 (AB) - 8 (range) = 9, a miss) while he screams into his intercom, "What is happening back there?", referring to the landing zone.
Trooper #5 having overcome his total fear up until know reacts to what is happening inside the ship and dives on the star marshal from the back, (star marshal gets an attack of opportunity to prevent grapple, Modified ranged attack roll of 2 + 6 (AB) + 1 (PB) = 9, a miss) (Trooper #5 grapple roll of 10 + 4 (grapple mod) = 14 vs star marshal grapple roll of 6 + 7 (grapple mod) = 13, success) and manages to grab his arms and wrestle him to the floor, causing the Morita to fall from his grasp.
Squad actions please.
