"Keep firing!"
Keep firing. Aim for the head or the abdomen, whichever is an easier target. Same as before, don't hit teammates, only move if it looks like it's coming at me. Otherwise, stay behind Asshole's shield.

(I made a typo. Asshole is guarding toby, not you.)
You peak back around the corner and put a round into the creature's lower back. The bullet pierces through the thick armor with a sound like a 2x4 cracking in half. The insect man staggers slightly but his attention remains firmly glued to Chaotic.

Attempt to stab him again, this time be prepared to duck out of the way in case of attacks, and try to hit his front.
((That "be prepared to duck" doesn't do anything mechanically))
You regain your footing and leap foward again, driving the sword straight into the beetle man's carapace lined chest. You aim for a space between two plates and sink the the blade a good few inches into the flesh, releasing a slow flow of bluish ichor. The beetle's vertical mandibles open and and screeches at you, a fleshy, tooth studded ring of muscle flexing behind the heavy pincer jaws.
Kneel, so that my legs are covered by the shield. Aim the SMG over the top of the shield, so that my whole body except my arm is covered. Hold down the trigger.

You drop to one knee and lift the smg over the top of the shield. It's not very easy to shoot in this position, with the weapon held at an angle above your head, but you manage, just barely. You spray several rounds into the creature, filling it full of small holes that leak neon blue fluid down onto to shiny red carapace. It doesn't stagger from the assault, but it does seem to be slowing down.
Toby takes a battle stim and keeps shooting.

((I'm gonna say that Taking a stim is a complete action so no shooting this turn.))
(Failed the roll, lose those mind points. 2 of them.)
You dig a battle stim out of your bang and press the autoinjector up to your neck. The stuff comes into your veins with a burning sensation, like you injected Tabasco. It fills you with a warm, confident feeling. And then the burning reaches your head and your vision starts to go red. You feel angry. You feel amped up. Your body is twitching, you feel an almost frustrated need to punch and kick and fight.
The beetle man suddenly spreads his wings and takes off down the hall. He barrels into Chaotic and knocks him to the ground (2 damage) before vanishing up the stairwell at the end of the hall.
