Head for Brick One and sit on my helmet.
okay, you get your serum out now that you are landed, or swamped, or whatever. (2) welp. This round of serums is a complete strikeout. You feel a little fuzzy, but otherwise unaffected.
I'll just pretend I got what I wanted, and the GM can roll on the serum later. (Delayed effect?)

((oops. I missed two of you? dang.))You take cover and receive a +1 against death rolls this round. (5) Outside is wet, wooded, and smelly. You can see a column of smoke rising from far off to the
left, where Brick 4 came down, and catch a glimpse of Brick 3 between yourself and Brick 4. It's a mile away, so you must have landed on the edge of a bayou or something, as the swampy woods in front of you would have obscured your vision too much to see them from this distance. Aside from your own eager compatriots, you see no activity out there just yet.

(5) like the other two, you jump out into the muck. You land solidly, standing in hip deep water and scanning the woods for hostiles. You fire a shot , and a lizard drops from a branch with a splash. A disturbance in the water, and a second splash occur almost immediately where the lizard landed. Looks like you gave something a light snack.

Jump out of the Brick and Dakka the loving shit out of any visible enemy.

"AAAAHHH!"
Run!
Time to get away from the lunatics. it's safer in a monster infested swamp, shooting at the enemy alone, than in here with your own men. (2) you drop into the water and land on hands and knees, gunking up your gun and coming up sputtering. it tastes awful, and you gag a little.
Go to Brick 3, with the experimental serum in my veins.
(2) You get light headed and woozy, and wobble your way into the Brick. a guy sees yo uand starts panicing while another guy, needle in hand, starts frothing at the mouth and twitching.

the brick is stocked with you and your fellow grunts. So, no, nothing remotely useful.
Brick 3 Death Rolls.Some kind of artillery strike hits you guys, and everyone except CAH004 is hit by it.
So, Zii008 gets a serious wound and damage to his armor, Pk002 is maimed, Hat008 takes a serious wound and damage to his armor, and HC005 is maimed.
Yes, the strike somehow bounced into the brick itself to hit those of you still inside.

And by activate pointman mode I mean provide goddamn firing coordinates with my fancy magic sensors.
you collected your squad info all together. holy shit. you get the CP 'sergeant in training.' (3) you peek out of the brick, and quickly duck back in as laser fire bounced off the brick face. "To the left!" you shout to your cyberbully, who waits, super eager to get crunching. Oh, and gum is transferred. Very noble of you. Get the CP "generous" as well.

"GIVE ME GOD-DAMNED FIRING COORDINATES!"
Gum is received, you greedy bastard. (4) you lean around the opening of the Brick where your corporal stands, firing as you edge out. You hit someone - you can tell by the scream. Looks like you guys landed close to a patrol or a forward base or something.

"Who in the living FUCK let this idiot pilot our dropship!"
Get my two grunts to help me up. Then survey the surrounding area.
You acquire the aid of npc002 and npc003. (6) You stroll casually forward, shouldering past the cyborg, and step authoritatively into the muck, hands on hips. You see the enemy to the left, one wounded, the rest rather in disarray for the moment. One of your own pops up out of hte water not three feet in front of them as you watch. "Good man." you mutter. Your own two privates stay huddled back in the brick, taking cover and looking for a good firing position.
Brick 4 Death RollsNone of you take any damage this round. Looks like you caught the enemy flatfooted. And the swamp monsters must not be particularly hungry right here either.
