FIRE THE ACTUAL LASER!
(1) THE ACTUAL LASER explodes violently! Flinging you and heated shrapnel everywhere, (5) despite being inside the explosion radius you escape unscathed.
Groan and look around. Is this floor occupied at all?
(6-1) There's some doof trying to use a giant laser and exploding, other then that there's no one else here, although there's
a cave and a box of scraps a lot of weapons and questionable tech lying around, you could probably jury rig of lot of things with this stuff, or find something good for use on its own.
make a rubber band gun that would make Joerg Sprave proud. Then load a letter opener into it and use that to shoot down the VTOL.
(1) You put together a Totally Safe
TM array of rubber bands and PC parts and put a letter opener in it, you take aim, fire, and the letter opener goes flying while your 'gun' falls to pieces, (4) it sticks itself in a nearby wall.
Once I enter the elevator, I press the button for the basement. Brandishing my impromptu Door-ShieldTM, listening to the sound of elevator music, I wish that I hadn't forgotten my coffee. Damn it.
(5) On a casual look, there isn't in fact a button for any basements, but you've been working here for years and know the tricks, so you shift the shield, slide up the panel and press the basement button, while waiting the elevator music fills you with Determination
TM while you watch the elevator shaft go by through the lack-of-doors, there's a bit of confusion with another guy at the ground floor but while he's jamming the button, the elevator finally reaches the secret basement level, you drag your shield out and the elevator once again leaves for floor 37.
The Skyscraper used to belong to Evil Inc. before it was bought out by Generic'o corp, but the estimate for dragging everything out proved to be ludicrously expensive and so the button for the basement was hidden and no one ever told the folks down here about the management change.
You are currently standing in the Robotics lab where they make murder-machines and the like, the two goons standing guard see you and reach for their guns!
Filled with Determination! 1+ to action.pick up the biggest, most explosive thing in the office, then fling it viciously at his target.
After shenanigans in the elevator, you finally exit into the office, you see the VTOL and look for something good to throw at it, the most promising candidate seems to be Dave's Crappy PC, he was always shoving all sorts of rubbish he found on the internet inside it until it hardly worked and was always on the verge of killing everyone in the office, you tear it free of its cabling and make a well aimed throw at the VTOL, (4) it lands squarely on-target and explodes spectacularly! One of the four engines fail and it doesn't look like it's sticking up much longer.
Cho access his secret powers of telekinesis to commmandeer the VTOLs controls and make it do a nose dive into the street.
(2) Cho was always sure that he had telekinesis, but he could never prove it! But that isn't stopping him, he puts his mind to the task and focuses as hard as he can! He ends up with a nose-bleed to stack onto his bullet wounds.

5:Stanley
(4)Boss:(4-1)vs(6) Taking too much heat from floor 37, the VTOL dips lower and opens up on 36 and starts shooting at Fred as he dusts off the remains of his laser, although it fails to hit, he sprains his ankle avoiding the bullets.
