((So, am i like. . . . Dead Dead?))
Nope, well, not yet at least. One of the first things Mesk did was take what was left of you and dump you in a stasis pod. You'll get back to the ship where they'll try to revive you, assuming these yahoos can manage to get out of here as well.
Jim reacted the way he was taught in the tank: by activating his amp and focusing it on his opponent. Specifically he was trying to melt his legs, to prevent him from moving.
((Hey, isn't that two mechanical limbs for milno?))
Thomas attempts to state "Oh god, it's choking me", but the fist closed around his neck, choking him makes that difficult. Instead, he fires his rifle at Ivan's shouler, full power.
[Exotic:2+1+1] You react in the way you were programmed, your vision and your mind instantly focusing in on your target, your amp activating as you will his legs to burn. The synthetic flesh begins to smoke under your attack and you focus on heating it faster and harder. You can feel the amp spreading deeper and your body locks up and jerks erratically as you work. And then Erik's head swivels toward you and in an instant Thomas is flying at you. [Dex:1] You're too preoccupied with what you're doing to even notice the fleshy projectile till it has slammed into you. [strength:2] You catch the man on the chest and both of you fly back a few feet and tangle together as you land.

((I'd recommend going for Erik instead, but, you know, your action. 
))
"He can hover, he's fine!" Faith shouted at Mesk. "Just get clear or get cracking!"
Retreat a few meters. Attempt to figure out anything I can about this new threat.
You shove your way out of the melee and run back a few meters, trying to figure out what you could do. [int:6] You get the distinct feeling that you might be able to negotiate with the 7 foot tall killer cyborg. You're busy thinking about this when something impacts your helmet and sends your head bouncing around inside it.[End 3-1] You collapse backwards dazed and in pain. [-2 next roll]
"Oh... shit. Milno, can you move?"
"...No, I am dead."
Milno uses his rockets to leap back and retreat a few meters to a diagonal position to avoid being hit by friendly fire. He makes sure (or as sure as possible) he won't hit Thomas from this angle and aims his gauss rifle at Erik's head (still at short range), shooting, of course.
You hurl yourself backwards using your rockets, covering a few meters till you're away from the group, and then bring up your rifle and aim straight at Erik's head. [Con wep:6] You line the target up with the ridicule, breathe out, hold it and then fire. The shot impacts his left temple and explodes out his right, continuing on down the corridor and directly into Faith. The shot clips off her helmet [End:3-1] And she's knocked flat on her back. Erik, despite having quite a large hole in his head, doesn't slow down.
Flop around on the ground. If anything touches me, unleash the Microwave Amplifier on it at point blank.
You flop about like a fish out of water, but the impending pain you're expecting never comes. You feel the pain and shock of whatever just happened beginning to fade. [-1 rather then -2 to next roll]
"Ah... right, forgot about your rocket boosters... still, it doesn't hurt to ask when you've, you know, LOST A LEG."
Try to edge behind Erik when it's safe. If it doesn't notice me, cutting torch to the back of the neck.
You do your best to edge close to the giant as he hurls Thomas across the room into Jim, and as a bullet tears through his head and splatters you in white goo, but as you bring your cutting torch around to burn him, he turns around. [Dex:6] You jump and dodge backwards as he swings a blow down at you. You escape his attack but end up running directly into The wall before falling to the ground. You roll over just in time to see Erik bring his heel down toward you. You scramble away and just barely avoid it.
>Erik
Erik brings his leg up and then down, dropping his heel directly at Mesk. [Mesk Dex:5][Erik dex:3] Mesk half rolls, half flings himself away, avoiding the blow completely as Erik's heel impacts the floor and blows away a crater in the solid rock, filling the air with dust again. And then he's off in the other direction, hurling himself toward Milno, Thomas, and Jim.
