Team A and BJim tries to minimize his profile and protects his chest area as best as he can, hunkering down to avoid attention and let his brain rest.
You hunker up against the planter box, curling up in ball. You're really getting tired of being shot repeatedly.
These are working wonderfully.
Move to Jim's position and check him, Load chemical incendiary shell, prepare to fire on the biggest cluster of still-living targets if they refuse surrender. Message Command:
Any idea who these "Blueshirts" are?
You jog to the Planter jim is laying behind, the the eerie sound of settling rubble and your own footsteps the only things to break the silence. You crouch down behind the planter with your team leader and load another shell, ready to fire if you need to.
"Only got two shells left." You whisper to jim, "Hope they give up."
[Team A Ignored Medic - Mesk]
"You alright, Jim? Try and stay out of sight, alright? I'm going to see what I can do for the rest of the team."
Run back to the group, same way I came. Mutter creative insults under my breath.
You run back to the entrance, past jim and Simus, muttering to yourself as you do.
"Fanny poaching ninny grabbers. I'll lubricate their hidden monkey's paw one day, and cubby their hidey holes as well. "
[Team B Leader=Milno]
"All of you, stop firing, take cover and rest for the moment." Milno says through the comms. "I'll see if they are willing to surrender now. If they aren't, well. We can finish them after you have taken care of your nicks and scratches."
Fly down to a spot near their windows, activating the EMM if there's any hostile movement, and blare at full volume through the external speakers:
"Surrender now or you will all die, fucking lemmings. We are here on a rescue mission, and you shot first."
"Lay down your weapons and let me talk to your leader, for god's sake. Will I need to use finger paintings for you to understand the fact we ARE HERE TO TAKE YOU TO SAFETY? At least STOP. SHOOTING. Or we will turn all the remainder of your forces into fine paste."
If they refuse surrender/negotiation/talking or just keep shooting like retards, then just snatch some of the gauss weapons of the deceased from the floor undearneath, activate the EMM and start to spread carnage, again. Search for the big guy and shoot him down. Fire the Prototype on single-shot.

You land zoom over to the area just above the fountain, land, standing on the remains of the statue, and proceed to blare your message at full volume. You don't get any immediate response, hostile or otherwise.
"O Ingram, we bless you for the guidance of our ordinance! Thank you, Pathmas, for your divine splendor!"
Reload while continuing to sing praises.
((Also I totally credit that shot to divine guidance.))
You eject your magazine and slip in a new one, still shouting the praises of Pathmas and Ingram.
"Are you okay? Is anything broken?"
Thomas gently places May on the ground, then gets in between her and where the enemies were. He alternates between looking at her and looking back into where the fighting was.
"Nah, I think I'm fine." Examine wound.
[med:6]
You jam your fingers into the wound in your stomach and, after a few seconds of groping around pull out a badly deformed pistol round.
"See? Nothing to worry abo..."
and then everything is black.
"Are you okay? Is anything broken?"
Thomas gently places May on the ground, then gets in between her and where the enemies were. He alternates between looking at her and looking back into where the fighting was.
May jams her fingers into her wound and rips out the bullet. She looks at you and gets about half way through telling you everything is alright before her head lulls back and she goes limp.
Team C and D((Goddamnit, I was just too late with my action. Now the whole plan is ruined! RUINED D:
Also, I didn't realize Sambo was that seriously injured))
'Faith, you look after Sambo, make sure he doesn't choke or bleeds out. Rest of the team, on me!'
Give Laser rifle to Flint. Tear/punch open wall a dozen or so meters to the left or right from the welded doors. Look around with normal, then heat vision upon entering. If anyone with a heavy weapon is present, boost over there and kinetic-punch them if they try to fire it. If there are hostiles with weapons too light to pierce my armor, boost over to them, grab their arms and use them as a shield. Say following:
'We are not from this colony! We are an investigation squad trying to help you lot. Lay down your weapons NOW!'
You hand the laser off to flint before attempting to bash your way into the building.
[str:4+1]
You slam your fist, not using the Kinetic amp this time, into the wall repeatedly, but fail to make too much of an impact. These walls must be pretty thick. You could probably get through them, but it is gonna take a while like this.
To Miyamoto, not loud enough for the attackers to hear: "Channel your inner diplomat big guy, make them kneel before you!"
Be ready to do anything Miyamoto-様 says
You proceed to punch the wall in a childlike imitation of Miyamoto
"I'm helping!"
Name:Flint/deeper scum - Team C - Entrance to the fortress of doom
"I've got a bad feeling about this. I don't think they suddenly had a change of heart. But, we can always hope."
Yell:"This is the UWM rescue team. Blueshirts, you are completely surrounded. We have superior firepower and armor. Surrender and we promise no harm will come to you. Either send out someone to negotiate, or drop your weapons and come out with your hands above your heads. If you do not respond we will be forced to use lethal force." Accept the laser. If anyone attacks use the chisel and shield to disarm them. Literally if I have to.
@Miyamoto: "Miyamoto, maybe we should try diplomacy one last time before breaking in? You will also have some time to check for ambushes through the walls."
You take the laser from miyamoto and proceed to stand around and watch as he repeatedly punches a wall. You begin to wonder if his suit is malfunctioning.
Team D Leader Faith, Police Entrance
"...damn it, now they're up to something," Faith muttered, looking over at Sambo. He really deserved this...
Examine Sambo's wounds. Try to figure out if he needs help, and if so, if it's the sort of help I can give without opening up my suit.
You walk over to Sambo and place your hands near the wound, feeling for the problem. The bullet passed clean through but punctured a lung, which is filling with blood. You'd need to stop that bleeding, drain his lung then close the wound so that his lungs can fill again.
Stacy, Team C Physimancer, Police Department.
To Miyamoto: "Godspeed, brave sir knight! May you succeed in your diplomatic efforts and save us the effort and danger of murdering these people!"
Wait in cover.
You press yourself up against the wall and promptly get bounced off as Miyamoto practices his street fighting.
"Thats not a car man, do you eve know how this minigame works?"
Jobasio scanned the walls, clutching his rifle close. His teeth were gritted in his mouth, and although he tried to keep his nerves hidden he couldn't keep a note of tension from his voice as he spoke.
"Yes, definitely seems like a trap. I believe you are on to something, there. Shall we?"
>Watch the walls closely as I wait for Miyamoto to bust open the wall.
>Then move through and to one side, drop to a crouch and scan the room for any hostiles with my rifle.
You watch the walls and the windows, but nothing happens and you can't see any movement, especially not from this angle.
((I have really to check up on this thread more when I get shot))
"Fuck! Fucking cunts shot me! Take the fuckers down! Slag the whole fucking building. Arrgghhh! Fuck!"
Stay in cover. Assist Faith in examining my own injuries, telling her where it hurts. See if it's a quick patch-up job, and if it is, patch it up with gaffer-tape and make-shift bandages. If it's not, let a nebulously possible, yet completely un-naked Faith nurse me back to health. Put duct-tape over any suit breakages afterwards.
((That went pretty well. One turn away and someone's actually helping Sambo. The top-end heavy medic system works! ))
You'd be right on that if you weren't busy choking, coughing and spraying blood all over the inside of your visor, making it very hard to see.
"I fear my *COUGH* rugged and manly *HACK* bravado may be my down fall. I have but one last request, dear nurse. Allow me to motor boat those."
