I am still standing on the bridge right? If so, try to jump to the target building. If they fire the rpg (or another heavy projectile), use manipulator to send it back at them. If the bridge collapses (for example, by getting hit by an rpg round) use manip to launch myself onto the target building.
[Dex:6+1+1]
[uncon:1+1+1]
The Avatar's legs coil up beneath you with all the force of a rocket motor. The Sod fires as you hurl yourself off the bridge, the ruined metal tearing away beneath the force of your leap and falling even further. You try to reflect the rocket with your manipulator, but the best you can manage to do is simply shield yourself from most of the blast. Your cloak shields you from the rest. You barrel through the haze of smoke and flame and land up in the hole where the bridge used to be, crushing the sod with the rocket launcher as you do.
All around you are other sods, over a dozen, and far in the back, hiding behind cover over 100 yards away are what look like civilians, all cowering behind things.
You crack your knuckles. This has the potential to be extremely fun.
"Right. Mesk, check the controls and see if there is some kind of manual override we can use to keep going down. Lukas, you help Flint keep those doors closed. Lars, you're with me; if those doors do open, I want you in cover and ready to open fire. I'll provide back-up with my amps." Jim glanced at Flint and Lukas. "Again, if those doors open, I want you to get into cover as soon as possible and see about cutting a hole in the floor. That corner back there should do. Lukas, you're authorized to use whatever weapons you want against any hostile forces."
Jim gives orders and gets into cover.
"You, the two giant robots, keep the door closed. You, immortal, try to override the mechanism and keep us going. I'm gonna be hiding behind these boxes."
You shout your orders to your team before ducking down behind one of the crates.
Search for a panel or something to try and manually override the elevator controls.
[Aux:3+2]
You walk over to control panel to the elevator and pry it off. You dig around in the wires for a few moments before snapping them out of their sockets and sparking them together. The elevator shudders and then speeds back up.
"We're on the express train now. First and only stop, the basement."
What kind of doors does the elevator have? If it is possible for me and Lukas to keep them closed and if Jim doesn't object, do that!
Otherwise, same thing as last turn: shield up, be ready to mine any enemies.
Also be ready to grab my allies and fly if something happens to the elevator or to use the shield to throw any grenades back to their sender.
"Hey, help me keep the doors closed. Or I could cut a hole in the elevator's floor and use my rockets to ease us down while someone cuts the elevator's wires and checks if there is a spoon."
((I'm back. Thanks for taking over, SeriousConcentrate.))
Lukas growls again as he tries to keep the elevator doors closed.
Help Flint keep the doors closed. If that fails, walk back into cover and fire laser and gauss cannon at any enemies.
Both Flint and Lukas gather around the door, just in case.
"Yes, General Jim. May the gods bless us as we approach the objective. Praise Steve."
Get into cover and go overwatch at the door. Don't shoot civvies.
You watch the door, keeping your rifle pointed at it and whispering prayers to yourself the entire time. You're pretty sure you're charging your favor up to Pro-MLG levels here. You can imagine it now. You're gonna fire and ingram is gonna ride in on a giant burning tiger and carry the bullet right into some poor bastard's eye socket. It's gonna be 100% metal.
try to find another way across, shoot sods as they come into range.
Return fire! Stay in cover and try to take out those sods with a few bursts.
Miyamoto comes hurtling out of nowhere cloaked in smoke and flame and lands up with the sods. You both start firing on the sods he didn't nonchalantly crush.
[Bishop con:5]
[Auron uncon: 4+1]
Bishop and Auron are in rare form. They pop out of their cover just long enough to unleash perfectly aimed shots. Bishop's gauss round tears straight through the throat of a sod, slipping through it's armor like a stiletto between the ribs. Auron's laser guided lightning bolts connect directly between a sod's eyes and his head catches fire as he falls limply to the ground.
They both spin and drop back into cover as a barrage of fire rips by overhead. Many fistbumps and high fives are had.
