Err, diplomacy the suit!
Your posted, bolded action was diplomacy in the same way Flint's was. You character SAID to aim at the guy. I assume she was just talking to someone over the radio, giving orders of something to do if her action failed. You didn't post it as your bolded action, you didn't even write it as part of a non-bolded action. You just said it, and I don't do actions by character dialog. Otherwise you'd all have to be very careful what you said. I made you walk forward with flint because he was doing the democracy thing too, but it really wouldn't have mattered.
See, when he started firing I did a few rolls, one of which was to determine who gets hit depending on placement, so in this case even if you were hiding behind a wall the laser would just have cut through it. Same with your shield. I gave you an unseen roll as to if you could guess hes firing before it hit you, but you failed it. In reality getting cut in half wasn't what killed you, you were dead as soon as the suit depressurized. By the way, if you had a mk II or better You would have gotten another chance to roll and may just have lost an arm.
Flint survived because he made his roll (Against all odds actually, it was a 4-1+1, very lucky) and threw himself onto the ground.
Relax Feyri, The dice just came up bad this time. All it means is you'll have more robo-parts. Least we forget all they came up very well for you, despite your rather crappy suit. You tanked bullets and explosions a few times up till now.
((Robo parts...
But...yeah. It's very demoralizing seeing that my action didn't explicitly correlate to my death this time. Especially when said action didn't end up with what I was planning to do or think to do - as Diplomacy also meant that I was thinking of steadying my aim at the guy, speaking while holding position and watching for movement. Though...Seeing Paris' action, I guess that's understandable. Shows what I know of English.
At least now I know that hinting what I'm currently thinking of doing, and how I feel about the situation - not bolded given it being in context, doesn't do anything in relation to the action.
Thanks though. I appreciate the...explanation.))
Edit: ((I'm mostly sure that I did bring my Datapad Diary along. Checking back, taking it from the Sword's quarters, I made no specific action to put it back anywhere. > If the GM acknowledges this and someone, somehow finds it and cracks the code, it may have circumstantial thoughts regarding recent events prior to this mission.
Yes I type the entries up and save them in a dormant file first before uploading it.

((Wait, Feyri still had a MkI? Damn, I really thought she had a MkII by now, at least.
I mean, what has she spent all of her tokens on then?))
((Nothing good.))
