Heatblade K7, trying to kill Lars (and render the battlesuit unusable). Then smash the drone with the manip as well, if I can. Then goop up V6 and go hide at my spot at Z7.

As always, if there's a kinetic projectile incoming, send it back to sender with manip. Also, can I assume you'll just tell me when this brain is getting tired?

Execute Tek with the Raduga.  Continue to advance to M7 and take cover behind that little outcropping..  If a target is called by a spotter, use Gauss Cannon on it.  If I see one target, Raduga it.  If I see multiples, PEW it in regular HEP mode.

If you see a plantlike organic cannon with a giant mouth coming your way, don't worry, it's not me.
...
It might try to eat you though. Try herding them into the enemy.

Advance to N7. Shoot any traitors I see with the laser cannon, set to wide angle for extra accuracy.
If no one needs shooting, continue hacking the traitor's coms. Especially Miyamoto's.

Aim up and start firing 9-shot semi-auto once the drone comes by, if it stops and the camera focuses on me, get down into cover where the drone won't be able to see me.

Arm kiloton charge and toss it at Lars.  In the unlikely event that Lars misses, use extra time to cauterize wounds with manipulator.

@How does drone work: The drone is equipped with various cameras, sensors and rangefinders that allow it to fly on its own while avoiding obstacles (although it cannot fly in tight spaces, like small corridors or tunnels, although it can fly thorough large tunnels, like the ones found on Hephaestus), gather data and create a map of the area it has been assigned to. It can also send visual and other data back to its user and the user can choose to take control of it and pilot it manually, much like a regular scout eye. Finally, the drone is capable of "pinging" HMRC members when it locates them and plot their position on the map, which is useful if they are lost in an anomalous planetoid with a malfunctioning radio and you are trying to rescue them. Piecewise never specified how that pinging works though, so I can't tell you more about it.

So in short, they are a super scout eye. Only downside is that they're expensive, as fragile as a scout eye and they can't walk like a scout eye can (although you can still duct tape them somewhere if you want to use them as static cameras).

Jump into the air. Fly towards the flying guy in the MK3, ramming speed (aka, I am attempting to ram him). Fire my laser at him as I approach.

Same as last turn.

As you run from your cover to sight of hovering Thaddeus you notice another person on ground right below him. It's Han. Looks like they are preparing an ambush here. Thaddeus has his faceplate up and he's looking directly at you. That's enough to let you dodge his wild laser burst, but since his reaction comes suprisingly fast you have no time to focus slapping him down from the skies. Instead you run down to W8 and hide behind corner.

Down in V6 you can see large ball of fire.

That Raduga thing is suprisingly hard to aim which gives Tek time to fiddle with a football sized thing he was carrying around and toss it at your direction. All your external feeds black out and you are tossed backwards.

This canyon is dry as bones, which means you can't get anything out of it.

You hear loud explosion from east.

You rather choose to hug the wall because nuke goes off at the spot you were going to. And as such there won't be any hacking.

Towards nuclear fire? You are crazy. You crawl a little closer.

The drone let's you know that individual called Johnothen Bright is sitting at V10 and is pointing his weapon at it. Then it's feed is cut off.

You fly into air and go ramming Thaddeus with nuclear explosion on your tail. Your laser cuts his legs off from knee down.
You don't make contact on this turn yet, but there's no way he can dodge you. He's basically only ten meters from you and probably filled with drugs.

There's no enemies coming. Only loud explosion in south.

Steve falls on his knees and then is knocked backwards because of nuclear explosion. Memories are fading, world losing it's shape and meaning. Finally darkness comes.

Second death.

Team 1:

Heatblade K7, trying to kill Lars (and render the battlesuit unusable). Then smash the drone with the manip as well, if I can. Then goop up V6 and go hide at my spot at Z7.

As always, if there's a kinetic projectile incoming, send it back to sender with manip. Also, can I assume you'll just tell me when this brain is getting tired?

Lines on your manipulator brain graph goes from medium to wild maximum and then flat. The manipulator is starting to heat up. You have seen and heard enough to know where this is going and so you throw it away to V6 which you were going to goop up. As you roll away you can feel intense heat behind you and sound of jet engines going off.

And a little later you hear another explosion from west. Tek and his little nuke, you assume, because his video feed shuts off.

"Well, this is hardly a surprise.  Farewell and may your efforts bring you closer to the comb."

Arm kiloton charge and toss it at Lars.  In the unlikely event that Lars misses, use extra time to cauterize wounds with manipulator.

Lars is clearly savoring this moment of execution and he gives you a little bit too much time. You arm the eighth kiloton charge and toss it quite near Lars with your last strength. You would love to see his face right now...

First death. Viva la revolution!

Aim up and start firing 9-shot semi-auto once the drone comes by, if it stops and the camera focuses on me, get down into cover where the drone won't be able to see me.

The moment the drone flies over you you shoot it down. It's ruined, completely destroyed.

Nuke going off in west doesn't distract you enough to not notice invisible robot cat running along northern path. You shoot at traitorous cat but your quick draw makes you miss her. She runs to south, down to W canyon.

Then your legs are cut off. Irises in your suit close removing your rest of legs from knees down and fills you with wonderfull drugs. While you are wondering what's happening you notice a battlesuit flying towards you. It's coming fast. Like reeeally fast. It's almost touching you!

Zayne!

Boring bastards are still not coming. There's explosion in far west, jet engine roaring closer and another approaching.

MAINTAIN PREVIOUS ACTION

You can't see enemies, but it certainly sounds like they are coming. Thaddeus's falling legs are good indication of this.

You lay down one trip wire. People are now aware of its location.

The HMRC fellow turned into roadkill finally gains his normal appearance. The name in his chest spells out CHARRO. He screams from bottom of his lungs "DOOOOOOOOOODGE!!" before being flattened again into two dimensional red smear.

Go south and see if I can circle around towards their shuttle that way, same movement / reaction pattern as before
actually, strike that. I give Flint a moment to follow-through on his attack on the cameye user, then come back around the corner yet again and continue my advance. If Han starts to acquire a target, either shooting at Flint or at me, then I introduce him to the canyon wall. forcefully.
