The plasma stands at 1880'.As the squad watches the approaching bugs they see the plasma bug in the background launch a ball of plasma.  It trails skyward, but at an angle...  "Incoming! Hit the deck", shouts Sergeant Lawson as he sees the ball reach the pinnacle of its trajectory.  The plasma bug was a little off with this first shot with the plasma ball exploding just short of the squad, about 80' out.Rudy climbs to his feat and yells, "We need to get better cover until our ship gets here!  Any ideas?".  He squeezes off a shot at the lead warrior bug, (Modified ranged attack roll of 6 + 7 (AB) - 18 (range) = -5, a miss).Cyrill takes a single shot, (Modified ranged attack roll of 13 + 6 (AB) - 12 (range) = 7, a miss).Sergeant Lawson turns to the star marshal and says, "You must stay behind some cover, your light combat armour is not designed for the battle field".Jacob reloads trooper #3's rifle with a spare mag.Mel sees the star marshal and Sergeant Lawson talking but can only vaguely make out what the star marshal was saying, since he is not wearing a tactical helmet, over the sounds of battle.  She hears, "...have you got a ship...weapons on board...". (Modified Perception check of 7 + 7 (skill) - 5 (distracted) - 10 (Battle) = -1 vs DC 0 (Person Talking).  She takes a single shot over the heads of her squad mates at the approaching bugs, (Modified ranged attack roll of 3 + 7 (AB) - 18 (range) = -8, a miss).Kate continues towards the squad at full speed, "Sir I will be coming in hard, so be careful where you stand, as there won't be much time to slow down."  (Heading SSE towards the squad, distance 600', Current air speed: 400, Altitude: 50').  (Modified Pilot check of 14 + 13 (Skill) = 27 vs 15 (Emergency Deceleration), success).Robert changes aim to the warrior bugs getting closer to the squad, (Modified ranged attack roll of 19 + 2 (AB) - 8 (range) = 13, a miss).Carl takes another shot, (Modified ranged attack roll of 17 + 6 (AB) - 18 (range) = 5, a miss). Squad actions please.Ammo Status for current magazine:Jacob 30 (Trooper #3's rifle)Cyrill 15Carl 25Mel 23OCC:  If you want your characters to investigate or search you need to say so explicitly so that I can roll for spot checks etc.</blockquote>
