"Firing. I'm going to try and bring the house down."
Fire down the hall at the ceiling. Try and make the roof collapse.
You leap out, point your weapon down the hall and fire.
[exo:2]
Oh...
[dex:6]
You leap back into cover, slamming into the pile of Jim and simus.
If I know where the amp man is, vaporize the pillar he's hiding behind - not all of it, of course, just the bit that provides cover. If not, retrieve Scout Eye controller.
You have a vague idea where he is!
[int:2]
And thats good enough for you!

"I am become error."
The ground beneath miyamoto and Lukas' feet swells upwards for an instant before exploding out in a fiery geyser and hurling them both backwards. They're the lucky ones though, their girth and the protection of the ground means they're relatively safe from the fact that Stacy just pumped enough high energy heat into that room that it was equivalent to a large box of dynamite going off in an enclosed space. The people down in the adjoining room...well they're not so safe. Nor are the people who are standing around and aren't giant robots.
Lets see...who is around...
In the hole we got
Auron [2]
Jim [3+1]
Simus [6+1]
Lars [3+1]
Jack [2]
Mesk [3]
Xan [3]
Stephen Hawking [6-1]
and Charles [5]
And near by we have
Faith [6+1]
Anton [2+1]
Stacy[6]
Dubley [5+1]
The room the Amp user explodes outwards, taking the adjoining room with it in a wave of flame and debris. Auron's heavy suit protects him from physical injury, but he ends up pinned beneath debris. Jim takes a large chunk of concrete to the chest and ends up with a line of rebar reinforcements pierced through his stomach and up his left side. Not that such things bother the alabaster berserk much. Simus phases through the entire explosion, avoiding all damage but also finding herself submerged ankle deep in concrete, having phased a bit vertically as well. Luckily she didn't telefrag her feet, just ended up with concrete shoes. Lars' prayers get cut off about halfway through and he finds himself in a corner, leg broken and arm pinned beneath rubble; his MK III Busily pumping pain killers and immobilizing the bone. Jack...well jack's coat is good but it can't help him against a sharpened, 300 degree piece of rebar that goes straight through his sternum and pins him to the wall like a butterfly on a pin. He's dead, but able to be revived. Mesk and Xan both get fairly badly mauled by the the explosion: burnt, partially crushed and buried by rubble. Mesk starts to feel hungry as his chest cavity closes and re-expands, crushed ribs repairing themselves. And Xan is rapidly running out of biomass for this sort of thing. Hawking just sort of stands there as absolutely everything misses him; flame washes over him uselessly and debris hisses past like angry bees but he remains completely unhurt. Clearly some sort of quantum mechanical wizardry. And Charles had the good sense to hide behind him, so he too survives uninjured.
Meanwhile, up top, Faith and Stacy, like their giant robot friends, completely avoid damage. Dudley is protected from damage as lukas curls up around him like a protective metal shield. And anton...well, Anton takes a 8 inch long shard of metal to the gut like a prison shank and it exits through his back, taking no small amount of his small intestine with it. Things are not going great for Black eye, Now turned Red Gut.
Out of the burning crater rises the Amp specialist, looking a bit worse for wear. His hair is still smoldering and hes got a few small burns over the exposed parts of his body. Seems like he protected himself, but only just barely. He floats up and out of the hole, the air warping and distorting around him and he prepares to issue his counter attack.
(things have sort of changed and basically rendered the rest of the posts either impossible or outdated. Have fun trying to figure out what to do now that half the damn team is maimed or at least buried.)
