"Maria, move up to that boulder. Then we'll hop to the door.
Steady, you move up too."

Overwatch

[Twinwolf]

((I don't have the TU for that. The closest I could move to that is H23.))

[GiglameshDespair]

((Go to H24 this turn, then, and move up next turn.))

[Twinwolf]

H21.

Edited due to new TU costs.

[kilakan]

Kila moves forwards to M30, as he crouches wary behind the obstruction blocking him from the alien ship's door.

[GiglameshDespair]

(( It takes 3, as stated in the last post in the OOC. ))

[Dwarmin]

Stan stays in place, catching his breath. No movement from the structure, yet...

Maria and Kila both move into flanking positions, slowly advancing...

SWS-0001 decides to stay in place, it's guns trained on the front doors.

[HIDDEN MOVEMENT]

...

It is now XCOM's turn.

Current Orders: None (All Aquanauts can give the SWS orders and adjust it's BIOS settings as much as they like, at a cost of 100% TU. It will continue to follow these orders until destroyed, or it achieves them, insofar as it's low intelligence can verify that. Otherwise, it is programmed by it's BIOS settings..)

BIOS Settings
Aggression:

Very Low/Low/Medium/High/Very High

(High Aggression will mean it goes to lengths to actively seek enemies, searching the map for them. Low aggression will mean it will fight more defensively, staying close to the squad and only fighting defensively.)
Self Preservation:

Very Low/Low/Medium/High/Very High

(How well it tries to protect itself, and how often it puts itself at danger. This controls the amount of damage the SWS will sustain before attempting to actively retreat from combat.)
Intelligence:

Very Low/Low/Medium/High/Very High

(The SWS's artificial intelligence can be toggled higher or lower. This is mostly for flavor, though putting it at low INT will make it more simple minded and less distracted in it's task, and putting it at high INT will make it more snarky.)

K16, look in the window

[Dwarmin]

Stan huffs forward, bouncing over the seafloor-using the momentum to vault him up the small hill. He stops and leans against the construction carefully, peering into the dark, crystal-like glass.

Inside, he notes...nothing too out of the ordinary. I mean, relative to the situation. Dark-teal tinted walls engraved with strange markings, pretty standard alien stuff. On the right hand side, he can see what is clearly a door, probably leading to a central hall-it's made of the same material as the hull, that shiny gold metal-acting as a bulkhead. He notes the room is completely flooded-small particles of matter float in front of his vision. It looks like a small storage room...or more likely, some sort of viewing deck. There may be some sort of tech accessed from the inside that lets the passenger either maneuver the vessel, or use the weaponry, if there is any.

TU: 6/36 Remain (16% TU)

[Twinwolf]

J18, overwatch.

[GiglameshDespair]

"I don't see anything inside... in a second, Maria, I'll check the other window and you can crack the door open. Don't get jumpy now and blow up our salvage."

[kilakan]

Steady moves forwards to 28 M readying his high caliber rifle against the bit of cover, over-watching on the doors.
"Crack the doors when you are ready, got eyes on the prize."

[Dwarmin]

Stan continues to keep an eye out...

Kila moves to the cover the front door...

Maria sprints ahead, but when she gets to the hill, she fumbles and almost drops her gun onto the seabed. She hopes no one saw that... [Not Enough TU to enter overwatch!]

SWS-0001 decides to stay in place, as usual, it's guns trained on the front doors. It's not the most creative of machines.

It is now XCOM's turn.
