[Tiruin]

Fling that floor vent cover at what seems to be the most dangerous threat in range!

"I'm a threat, you blind mook! Afraid to hit me?"

[Remalle]

Turn one hundred and six.  Somehow the enemy rolled all 2s.

Agent Fortmüller says "Hey, guess what," as he fiddles with his suit's systems yet again.  [1+2] Using far more power and disabling several safety catches gives the suit a boost to strength and speed, but it takes too long for Nicholas to get in an attack.
Agent Conners finishes blinking the spots out of her eyes and shouts "Area effect, Steel!  Get all their heads down!  Jen, see if you can pull their guns out of their hands!  FLASHBANG OUT!"  She tosses an unprimed smoke grenade and rushes out once the gunfire stops, [6-1] replicating Ires' run in and out of cover and finishing with a leap over a workbench straight onto the chest of an extremely surprised gunman.  [4+1] Lisa straightens up and dusts off her hands, satisfied that he won't wake up for a long time.
Agent Green ducks and dodges behind the powered armour pilot, grabbing him in a full nelson to use as a meat shield.  The revving noise starts again [4] and Desmond swings the suit around in time to block the electric bolt, [6+2] before returning the favour with a kinetic blast that blows up the shooter's cover and sends shrapnel flying.
Agent Maxwell [4+2] turns herself into a magnet just as Desmond explodes a workbench covered in metal machine parts.  [4] She drops the magnetic field and dodges the incoming cloud of shrapnel, machinery and guns just in time.  Fortunately, none of her teammates lose their weapons.
Agent Reon gets into cover on the enemy's side of the room and flings her floor vent cover at a disarmed mook who's trying to pick up the minigun.  It bounces off of him and he stares at her, confused, before shrugging and continuing to struggle with the gun.  "I'm a threat, you blind mook!  Afraid to hit me?"
The henchman trying to pick up the minigun (2) isn't strong enough and gives up, instead grabbing a concussive grenade off the workbench he's taking cover behind and throwing it at Ires.  She dodges and it goes off harmlessly somewhere behind her.
The powered armour pilot grabs Desmond's arms and tries to throw him, (2) but Desmond manages to hang on.
One of the disarmed men picks up some sort of oversized sniper rifle off the floor and takes aim at Lisa as she's tackling and draining her target.  (2) He misses, and the computer on the workbench next to her melts.

Jenny suddenly had an idea and gathered a bunch of the scrap metal in her hands. Turning her attention on the guy targeting Lisa, she attempted to induce electromagnetic fields around the metal and her hands, to send the shrapnel flying toward the sniper.

Jenny suddenly had an idea and gathered a bunch of the scrap metal in her hands. Turning her attention on the guy targeting Lisa, she attempted to give her hands polarity to repel the metal and send it flying toward the sniper.

That's... not how magnets work.

[SeriousConcentrate]

(It's how Magneto works, and that's what I'm going for. :3)

EDIT: (Damn it! I totally blew a perfect 'fucking magnets, how do they work?' set-up. >.< Sorry, Mego.)

[Zako]

((Serious, you are dissapoint. Thanks for covering me though.))

Lisa grinned. All the nearby targets were unarmed. Now's her chance!

Use my extra energy to give myself a serious speed boost to both dodge any incoming shots and to zip around the room, draining all the unarmed targets I can reach. Go for the direct route if it's safe to do so.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Serious, you are dissapoint.

(I sorry Zako D:)

[Caellath]

Enter melee with the power armor man. Break his spine.

"La Grange" starts to blare at Nicholas' internal sound systems and he accompanies the music whilst charging.

Get that superpowered sniper-rifle weapon afterwards if possible..

[Dwarmin]

Action: Melee time! Knock out the guy with the biggest weapon!

[Tiruin]

Examine self.

Ires was wounded, but the pain made everything clearer - adrenaline was coursing through her body, and every reaction heightened by her senses could easily be recognized and reacted to.

Perhaps it was time to try going into the melee with one of the nearest weapons?

Run over to the power armored man, try to evade//parry any attacks and lodge an arrow in one of the respective vulnerable areas visible! If not the power armor, then someone else that is hostile to my allies - not Nick.

[Mego]

EDIT: (Damn it! I totally blew a perfect 'fucking magnets, how do they work?' set-up. >.< Sorry, Mego.)

I didn't even consider that possibility. Damn it.

Spoiler: Why that wouldn't work (click to show/hide)

Those various bits of metal are probably made out of steel or iron. Now, as we all should know, iron exhibits some magnetic properties naturally, known as ferromagnetism (its Latin name, ferrum, is where the term comes from). If a block of iron is cooled, the individual iron atoms (which have small magnetic fields) will align themselves in a pattern that will cause all those small magnetic fields to merge into a large magnetic field. Boom, magnet. When a block of iron is heated, however, all those atoms go random, and the magnetic fields cancel each other out. Any net magnetic field would be so weak that it would be unnoticeable.

In order to work iron into useful shapes, like the stuff you'd find in a hardware store, it has to be heated, meaning it loses any magnetic properties it might have. Refining iron into steel requires even more heat, so no magnetism there, either.

Your only chance would be if those bits of metal were made out of other transition metals, which could exhibit a different kind of magnetism called paramagnetism (which comes from the atoms having partially-filled electron energy shells). Unless you're dealing with large quantities of certain heavy metals, however, the magnetic field would be too weak to matter.

Enjoy your lesson on magnetism!

[SeriousConcentrate]

(That was an interesting read, although I'm curious: does that also apply to electromagnetism? It levitates bullet trains from Tokyo to Osaka, it levitates my chair, and it levitates... me. )

Nope. Electromagnetism is caused by electric currents inducing charges in metallic atoms, causing them to have magnetic fields. If you take the electricity away, the magnetism goes away too. I suppose you could induce an electromagnetic field in the stuff you're hurling, and then use the same polarity on yourself to force it away, but that would be a massive drain of power. Perhaps you could work some sort of energy transfer between you and Desmond? I dunno.

[Tiruin]

((First, this RTD scores on RP.

Now, it scores on Science.

Bonus!))

[SeriousConcentrate]

(Is it wrong that I prefer learning things from people on the internet to school? XD Seriously though, I'll edit my action to do that. Thanks. ^^^)
