TEAM ATeam A
begin mopping protocols as necessary
You yell "CUT OUT THAT RACKET!" while hitting the ceiling with a broom and then go back to drinking. Considering simus has sealed the building, theres not much else you can do.
TEAM B((Well, I mostly didn't try to shoot because I shouldn't have been able to, given the one minute cooldown on the HEP. But hey, whatever floats your boat.))
Stacy, Team B Platypus
Check if Steve's corpse had a gun on it, or any other goods. Steal EVERYTHING that isn't destroyed. Especially the fellow's head. Can't leave any of that here, can I?
Do this now! Steal! Also steal whatever other guns still work and can be found unattended in the area. Maybe that one minute cooldown is a bit inconvenient, you know?
Once at least 5 minutes are spent stealing, deliver Steve's head to the Paracelsus' Sword for stasis storage/revival/stuffing and mounting. Rush all quick-like.
Trade any loot I find in the Armory for tokens - if I have three, get a Microwave Field Manipulator. If not, sell Steve's possibly unused Emergency Kit to pay for it. It is time to challenge the curse once more!
Stacy feels eager to try the manipulator - after all, even when things went disastrously wrong, he usually did slay at least some enemies in the process! And in a war, was it not most important to inflict maximum casualties on both sides so nobody feels like fighting anymore?
Yeah, getting a MFM seems reasonable. Consider yourself kitted out.
Team B
"I...think the team leader is either dead or unconscious. I'll quickly check."
Check if Panceak is alive/conscious. Then try to get as much of the ThunderTron working as possible.
[aux:5]
You get thundertron rebooted and functional again, but it's still missing legs, so moving is gonna be a problem.
Pancaek is fine. He's a robot. shots to the stomach aren't too bad for him.
Jack Catar-Team B
Is bunker 4 still fine? If not, try to make some barricades.
You start creating ad hoc barricades with some large pieces of debris.
TEAM B
Thomas goes to help ferry in the wounded, then takes a position near the shipyards, once again, preferably in a location allowing for vision.
You know, you could just take up position on the top of the sword.
TEAM CTeam C, Skylar, Support
Recover the dead and wounded in the west. Once they're all back in the Sword, help fix the least wounded.
You, like lots of other people, start dragging the dead back to the ship.
Team C; Near West
As I am not a medic, and I have neither a Mark Three nor sufficient upper body strength to drag anyone, just...um...if there's nothing important I can fix, I guess see if I can scavenge anything of value from people, double-check that all the sods are dead, that kind of thing. If there are important things I can fix, fix those instead. Rendezvous with the rest of Team C before the next wave gets here.
Ahhhh what could a grate do...We'll say you scavenge the explosives from the bodies of the dead sods. Those might be useful. Then you meet up with Team C!
Miyamoto, team C lead, exasperated
Help with evacuating dead and wounded to Sword. If already enough people are doing that, use rubble and debris from bunker and whatever's lying around to construct a makeshift barricade south of the laser battery, just to ensure they'll have some cover.
Also do this for the west around F4 or D4 or something.
UPDATED TEAMS
Basically merged teams B and F and D and E with each other. Check wiki.
New team B has new objective: defend southern side of base, but the laser battery, airfield and artillery still has priority. Be sure to station a picket at the battery itself to prevent them getting flanked.
New team D has new objective: defend western side of base. This includes the Sword's cradle (the Doc will defend it if enemies get in close, but against howitzer battlesuits and the like we still need to do it ourselves).
C still has north. And A will just have to fend for themselves if they come under attack, though we have Steve bots, ships and snipers to help us.
Also, remember that these 2 teams might seem big, but there are several people not posting, and some of them might be too wounded to be combat-ready. And we lost most our sods already 
You build some nice rubble barricades. Yay rubble!
TEAM DGorat 'Chin' Ivanos, Team Everything's in ruins "Aye-Aye" Team D "Marabou"
"What."
Get unstuck from time. Help with whatever cleanup and corpse-gathering is necessary, possible, and/or ordered. Then take my place with my new team.
Str 3; Dex 3; End 3; Cha 7; Int 4; Wil 15//Spe 0; Int 1; Han 0 (-1); Con 1; Unc 0; Exo 12; Aux 3 (+1); Med 0
Mk II Suit; Microwave PK Amp; laser rifle; 3 tokens: normal cigarettes; blue smokes; datapad (with platformer shooter); nanoghosts; shock trigger (with Denzel for the mission); odd suit worn under Mk II.
Appearance: 5'11'', 170 pounds in a rather unmuscular frame, shoulder-long brown hair, short goatee, brown eyes, a rather long chin that earned him his nickname. Age 32
Half a robot foot. Robot right arm. Wears basic clothes when not in the Mk II.
We'll say you help with various things- barricades and corpse dragging- and then get back with the team you're supposed to be with.
Thaddeus Former Team E "Aye-Aye", Now Team D "Marabou" Grunt
Return to remains of bunker 6. Help with whatever clean up and corpse gathering is needed. Then loot any dead sod equipment Thaddeus can use(Laser rifle batteries, 'nades, Gauss rifle/ammo, rocket launcher/ammo). When done, head over to sector D4
Radio to one of the near medics: So, someone want to look me over? I think I might be slightly injured, this MKI isn't doing me any favors
((@ PW: Are any of the enemy battlesuits immediately useable and not messed up too badly? Preferably not the melee ones))
((Edited post))
We'll say you grab several gauss and laser magazines and a few grenades. As per injuries; if you've got all your limbs and most of your organs and at least 50% of your blood, you're fine by our standards.
Felix Grant, Team D "Marabou" Leader - Tunnel under Bunker Five
Felix doesn't get very far before Miyamoto informs him of his new position. With the radio and speaker off, he giggles a bit, although whether that's from blood loss or amusement is hard to say.
Private message to 'Dark Angel', Denzel, Thaddeus, Gorat, and Dern Hernau, hereafter Team D:
"I am the new leader of Team D. Miyamoto has placed you all under my command. We're to defend the Sword from the west. I may or may not be present personally, depending on the severity of my injuries. As far as I'm aware, most of you are either recruits like myself, or veterans who declined a leading role. In the event I am incapacitated or unable to give commands, 'Dark Angel' will become the new acting leader. Rally in Sector D4."
Test my right leg. Can it hold my weight? If not, lean on the grenadier Sod. The support Sod will carry Maurice to the Sword's infirmary.
If I can walk on my own, I'll head to the makeshift cover Miyamoto made west of the Sword.
If I can't, go to the Sword's infirmary, as well.
All Sods assigned to Team D head for the rally point, after delivering any seriously wounded or dead in their sight to the Sword's infirmary.
((Well. I wasn't expecting to be put in charge of a combined team. I'll roll with it, though.))
You limp over to the new barricades that Miyamoto set up, your few remaining sods in tow.
Denzel Gaunt- Team D
"Fine by me for the leadership change- I'm missing and arm, a leg, and my head at the moment, so I'm out of action for the moment, though I will try to get myself repaired. I'm trying to take stock of out situation out here at the moment, but pick up us wounded/dead at your convenience. We could use the help."
Collect any sods and gear that we can salvage, and get back to the Sword asap to get repaired.
We'll say you manage to get some field repairs from infirmary nurses that are on site. You salvage some ammo and explosives from the bodies.
TEAM FXan - Team FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIRE - On Fire
FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCK SODS EXTINGUISH THE FLAME EXTINGUISH THE FUCKING FLAME AAAAAAAAAAAA
Stop drop and roll! Try to cool down the flames enough that they extinguish! Do so very carefully!
Try to get to the infirmary!
((See, this is why I want a decomp. Nearly every roll I've gotten has been an 8.))
You manage to put yourself out but you've lost half your biomass. You're a rather crispy dragon, ironically.
Auron, team F.
If there was a difference between the crippled battlesuit and the melee battlesuit i just disabled:
Run over and pull the cockpit release, drag the pilot out and attempt to tap into his biosensors.
If successful attempt to clone any signals being transmitted and begin broadcasting them from my suit.
If the active melee suit was actually the crippled suit:
Assess damage to battlesuit, see if it is possibly repairable or if any parts are salvageable.
((Also last turn i was mean to grab smurfs head and any surviving gear, did anything survive his death?))
Well, they were the same. However, it looks like the big old fuckoff sword is still functional, and so are the rocket boost pods, and the big fuck off shield. The suit itself is fucked though.
Team F
Under her breath, Dominika cursed like a sailor. It went from suicide mission to suicide mission.
Look for a fire extinguisher to put Xan out.
You help put xan out via vigorous stomping.
TEAM GFlint Westwood - Team G
((Thanks PW.))
Repair as much as possible. Refuel and recharge my mining laser's battery as much as possible.
Requesting description of what yellow mod does since I used it the previous turn.
[handi:4]
Well, lets say you get your leg repaired at least. As per yellow, really it shouldn't have done much since it creates stationary energy mines.
Team G
Jim just sits and rests for future amp-using.
Do do do, Gonna murder, do do do, Gonna kill, do do do.
Team G "God Damn It" (Reserve) - Milno "Honey Badger" Enedrasi - Leader - Ferrying The Wounded
Team G: "Thanks, Jim. Team G, in case you're not resting your brain then begin taking the dead and the wounded to the Sword. In general, be useful and get ready for the next round."
Quickly ferry the too wounded and the dead to the Sword.
Check fuel level to evaluate how much is spent when flying like a maniac with the EMM online.
Refuel.
((I thought both Milno and Flint were flying but got hit and smashed by debris anyway since concrete flew everywhere. All is well when it ends well, though.))
About 70% fuel. And refilled now.
Team G Cassowary, Faith
Help haul corpses to the infirmary.
Yep. De-corpsing
Anton Chernozorov, Team G(oddammit) "Cassowary" engineer/pilot
"Well, that went a lot worse than it should have, and marginally better than it could have."
"Steve, am I right in assuming they'll now try to burn off our defenses and attack from a distance? They're unlikely to send another ground assault, now that they saw we have ships. I'm assuming incoming bombs and missiles we could handle, but kinetic and laser bombardment would be a big problem. If some kind of artillery cruiser decides to blow a hole in our base, how much forewarning would we have, optimistically? Enough for the Black Death to take a shot at them or not, assuming it's kept on hot take-off?"
Scan the surroundings for enemies. Leave Tweedledee and Tweedledum in Steve's control, to be used as transports for the dead and wounded. Land the Party Wagon on a clear spot of land near the western border, keep it on hot take-off. Examine the layout of the base to see if it's possible to relocate the Black Death somewhere it'd be safer from a sudden orbital strike.
About the best place to put anything you don't wanna get hit is in the aurora. Parking black death there and party wagon to the west.
TEAM HTeam H - "Lemmings" : Marcius
Leve the main bunker and radio that I'm signing up for Team G, since we need more people.
Scavenge gauss rifle special ammo and grenades from a couple of Sods.
((Basically I'm getting tired of waiting. And this seems like a good time to join in.))
Wait what? Team H.
Wait what? Shouldn't you join an already existing team? Why weren't you on one already?
Wait what?
Is everyone ready for the next round or should I give you one more turn?
