Roll 5Serris donned his apron and headed to where the patients were resting. He began a normal check-up routine on the first one. The patient was a farmer from Zaor, accustomed to ship life and blunt trauma over the years. He had been launched into the wall when something came through the ceiling, destroying a portion of the hydroponics equipment and sending scraps of metal into his skin. Since he wore a rebreather because of the carbon-dioxide rich environment in the room, he was able to make it back to safety, but apparently reported severe headaches. Serris went about treating him, noticing the television on the wall depicting an image of the enemy ship absorbing railgun projectiles.
He wondered to himself,
"What kind of shielding could do that... psionic shielding? Perhaps this Gideon fellow has something in common with it."--
Max, Gideon, and Aldarist headed to Deck 3. Max issued him a pressure suit from the nearby closet at the bulkhead. [2] This was, unfortunately, the last pressure suit in the area, so the other guards departed to pick up suits from other areas. [6] Still confident, the three passed through the airlock, and had the coordinates of the breach uploaded to their HUD's.
Gideon felt his range began to decrease as the ship reentered realspace. However, his clairvoyance still gave a minor hint about where things were. He sensed movement around the first corner.
"Hold up, there's something around the corner...""How do you know?" Aldarist responded.
"Do you wish to check?""Certainly."[4] Aldarist opened up a compartment in his pressure suit's sleeve, taking out an apparatus that looked like a mirror on a stick.
"It's a mirror on a stick," he noted.
[6] Aldarist held the mirror around the corner, making out three people wearing armor that looked to be built for combat. They were armed--two of them had rifles, a third had some kind of machine pistol in one hand, and a sword sheathed on his waist.
"Hostiles."The three heard footsteps, and before they could respond, the soldier with the machine pistol and sword dashed around the corner, opening with a hail of fire as he unsheathed his sword!
[1] Aldarist took a full volley to the chest and arms, taking
45 damage. He fell over backwards into a pool of blood. The pressure suit absorbed some of the damage, protecting his vital organs.
[3] Max deftly manuvered [Dodge] to minimize his profile, dodging the weapon fire and firing off a snap shot with his rifle. [17/24] The shot impacted for
30 damage, but only dealt
26.
[4] Gideon instinctively shut his eyes and activated his Timelock, completely negating
31 damage, generating
+1 Psi in the process.
The other two soldiers could be heard coming.

"Oh, what are they up to now..."--
Jacob tried his hand at plotting the missile's path. He hadn't done this kind of thing before, but he
did manufacture these weapons for a living.
He finished tracing the course, then launched the missile. Outside the ship, a tube was uncovered, and a Hydra antimatter missile flew out and started toward the comet Jacob had targeted.
[27/24] The missile hit the comet as planned, but Jacob underestimated the missile's fuel reserves. The missile exploded in a flash of light, breaking up the comet into countless shards which changed course to eventually hit the enemy ship. [3] The ship's mystery shield absorbed most of the shards, but some of them went through and punched holes in the side. The vessel began turning to disengage.
