"Deal with it troopers!
Keep digging, same way as before. Try to gauge how much longer it'll take (aka how many turns, at this pace).
By the way, did we get something to put the cluster into, like a big box or a bag or whatever?
I'm gonna assume you're drilling straight down, or nearly so.
ok for me, if that is the angle Miya thinks would have least chance of accidentally hitting the cluster.
Well, you're not sure since you're not sure how deep the thing is...but probably another turn or two.
NOPE!
Yeah, we'll handle it so you're not...probably not gonna do that.
Spray anyone else who seems injured then use our new corpse as a shield. Just like back in the hood.
You grap Zayne's still twitching body and hide under it.
Ian glances at Zayne and prompty begins to formulate an insult for him... then realizes that he has two gaping holes in his chest.
I am fairly sure that I have a fleshknitter tank on my suit. See if anyone can somehow use that to zip up Zayne. Try to see if it was a ranged weapon or just some sort of tendril punching through the vehicle. Stay alert and try not to get injured (or killed).
You pump fleshknitter into zayne's wounds but he doesn't seem to be getting any better. He's not bleeding but...well..turns out a mass of awkwardly regenerated cells can't replace both lungs and a heart.
Well, the flesh is still a good distance away so you assume it is a ranged weapon.
(Holy shit)
Zayne does his best not to be very much dead.
He's not doing a good job at it.
Nope, dead.
Start shooting bits of Haebi that looks like its attacking us with my laser.
You can't see whats attacking you.
"Did anyone see anything? If ya didn't, they're countering with snipers to keep us pinned while they prepare an assault force!"
See if I can't determine the direction the shots came from from the holes, and look in that direction.
You look at the holes and how they compare to zayne...or at least how you think they do, he's been moved a lot. They seem to have come from the north, definitely, but you can't tell the elevation.
"Yarr, quit blowing hole in me ship!"
Look for enemy action, keep keeping an eye on those gunnerbot feeds
The gunner bots are just sort of milling around, circling the defleshed area.
...Is the ground outside clear?If so, get the fuck on it and stay down behind the namite flames. Otherwise, stay down behind the namite flames inside the jeep anyway. Tend to anyone else who gets shot and survives.
You throw yourself out of the jeep and cover your head. These Newbies need to learn to fucking duck.
Sit down in the drivers footwell where I can't be seen from the outside.
You wedge yourself down by the gas pedal and hide.
"Oh 01000110 01110101 01100011 01101011."
Coward mode: activate! Hide behind nearest robot overlord.
THERE ARE NONE AROUND YOU! IVESO IS FLYING AND MIYA IS IN THE HOLE!
You hold your robot arm and leg in front of your face.
Something hisses past Judas' head with a sound like tearing paper, and Eddie is spun hard, his arm severed just above the elbow. Jeep 1 leans heavily as the tires on the north side burst and the hood dents and crushes, holes being drilled straight through the engine.
