Shoot the Brug with both my guns if the others don't kill it, and Follow Up by perforating it with dark matter bullets/orbs/particles if it still isn't dead, or use that attack on any other hostile that show up, unless they have guns and are at range. If they have guns or other ranged weapons, instead use Follow Up to send a wave/wall of dark matter at them to both block or deflect projectiles coming at us and squish our attackers.

[The Ensorceler]

This looks cool as heck. What slots are open right now?
Edit: Worked it out by process of elimination. I can be anything!

Mission 001: Pandoras Box
Post 05: The First Strike

[5-1+3]The Brug is far, very far, around thirty meters. too risky to fire the plasmatic thrower without hitting allies, So Frunk moves forward, almost but not quite sprinting and waits for the Brug to get bucked off by Ognip-Pish, and promptly sends a burst of superheated plasma into the creature. it makes a noise similar to a cat that had been struck with a pipe as it attempted to retreat, and fails.

Your tank read out reports 73% fuel capacity on its current tank.

[2+1 v 5+1] Although Ognip'Pish intended to toss a grenade at the super muscled thing, it closed the distance far too fast for it to be safe, and tried to tackle you down. What happened next was the sort of melee combat you'd expect in movies. A short but violent burst of fast movement which resulted in the Brug losing one of its eyes and pushed back just enough to get perforates on both of its flanks and lit on fire.

[5+3] Thunderbolt takes aim...
[5+2]Just as Guwat lets loose a maelstrom of Phazon bolts.

Narrowly dodging some friendly fire, Thunderbolt stops firing. the Brug has been rendered to nothing more than a charred wreck of burnt meat and unidentifiable metal scraps heaped against the wall.

The room he exited is still open and from the few who can look into the room, they can see weapon racks and display cases, The cargo elevator entrance is still at the end of the hallway, the door closed.


[3+3] [3+1] Just as a Starknight rushed passed you, Vision I for some reason, the Raptor managed to fire a bolt at the roof top Guardian. It narrowly misses but the data it gives from its vantage point lets you take the shot.
a spray of purple mist sprays the wall behind the Unitarian as it slumps over.

You begin wheeling your way over to the Cargo Elevator and end up about half way there, approximately right around where the pile of charred biological material sits. You note the presence of your fellow squadmates, they look funny.


You sure can @Ensorceler.

[Coolrune206]

Frunk gets the soldiers out of the craft and gets them moving to the cargo lift. He holsters his plasmatic thrower and equips his pistol, then follows.

Spoiler: Frunk (click to show/hide)

Name: Frunk
 
Gender: Male
 
Sub-Species: Augmented
 
Unofficial Occupation: Fixer and Breaker
 
Equipment Packs: Universal Augmented Pack, Combat Engineer
 
Appearance: Frunk's armor is painted navy blue, with a few black accents. He stands around 6'1", and has no extra prosthetics besides his original augmentations. Below the suit, his skin color is as light shade of yellow.
 
Backstory: Frunk doesn't talk about his backstory much, but from what he has revealed, he was a child laborer, and intensely resented everyone around him. He's since become quite a bit more mellow, but still displays natural suspicion of those around him.
 
Skills:
Plasmatic Weapons + 3
Piloting + 2
Cyber Warfare + 2
Medical + 1
Robotics + 1
Explosives + 1

Abilities:
Light Sleeper - Frunk can fall asleep pretty much anywhere. It's quite useful for extended missions. He also tends to wake easily, making it hard to ambush him.
Stealth - Frunk tends to keep things as quiet as possible, and it can be seen in the way he moves. He's hard to detect if he doesn't want to be detected.

continue rolling to elevator
have Eye 1 scout ahead and Eye 2 investigate sidepaths along our route.
Raptor 1 escorts Vision 1, firing if it comes under attack.

Spoiler: Vision 1 (click to show/hide)

Name: Vision 1
 
Sub-Species: Mapping platform
 
Unofficial Occupation: Wallhack Sniper
 
Equipment Packs: 1 Drone pack
 
Appearance: a large heavy metal crate with motorized magnetic spheres on the bottom that allow it to roll... slowly... on a smooth surface... in any direction. A Linear Rifle is mounted on a unarmored multi-point-connection servo-arm that can rise from the top-center of the crate and aim in any direction and has enough play to extend it beyond the edge of the crate to aim down below the rim of the box. The linear rifle can be removed and used normally by a Star Knight if necessary, but upon remounting the system will require a recalibration period before it will be ready to fire the weapon. There is a belt-feed going down along the servo-arm into the interior of the crate. The majority of the box contains tiny drone hangers, mostly top-mounted around the weapon. There is a small manufactory internal to the system that can build replacement drones if fed standard salvageable parts, and storage for some raw materials internal to the system for the same purpose. There is a touchscreen panel on the side of the crate that displays a 3d image of what has been mapped since its last activation and accepts commands. the crate itself is decently durable but weapons fire that enters the miniature drone bays could detonate the system's ammo reserves and/or destroy docked drones.
the drones are mostly small unarmed mapping quadcopters. there are 4 standard models with a belly-mounted manipulator arm and high-grade mapping equipment, 1 with a cyber interface instead of a grasper on the arm for remote hacking and 1 with a belly mounted Phazon pistol.
 
Backstory: This is a recent military modification of a drone mapping system. the primary premise of the system is the drones serve as eyes for an incursion team. the main box's linear rifle, however, is the center of the system. the drones are constantly sending back mapping data including the locations of threats, and the linear rifle acquires and neutralizes those threats no matter what is in the way. Although it performed well in controlled test environments, it has yet to be field-tested. It is advertised as a way for the Star Knights to never have to walk into an ambush again. The truth of this advertisement has yet to be seen.
 
Skills:
+3 Linear rifle
+1 phazon rifle/pistol
+1 cyberwarfare
+2 internal repair

Abilities:
 Dronesight - can accurately aim the Linear rifle through walls to fire upon whatever the remote drones can see.

Inventory:
1 Linear Rifle

1 Drone fabricator
2 drone transponder arrays (second is redundant in case of equipment failure)

I'm going to head for the elevator.

[Blood_Librarian]

Waiting on Beirus and Slick to post.

[Beirus]

((I'll try to make this an action after work.))

[Slick]

"Covering"

As his squadmates advance into the elevator Thunderbolt will act as the rearguard.

[Beirus]

Take position in cover near the elevator while waiting for it to open. If it is clear, enter. If there are hostile inside,
fire on them with my Phazon rifle if there are only a few or they are closely packed together, or squish them between two walls of dark matter if there are too many to shoot.

Spoiler: Guwat (click to show/hide)

Name: Guwat Torif-Purk
 
Gender Male
 
Sub-Species: Psionic
 
Unofficial Occupation: Unseen Hand
 
Equipment Packs:  Universal Psionic Pack

Ranger Pack
 
Appearance: He stands at 6'0", with lean muscles and broad shoulders. His eyes are black orbs. His face has thin, fleshy tendrils in the shape of a beard and mustache of a darker purple than his skin. He has no augmentation beyond those he is required to have, and his skin is a dark purple color color.
 
Backstory: Guwat lost his parents at an early age and grew up in an orphanage until the age of ten. He was adopted at the age of ten by a someone who took an interest in his psionic abilities. He was raised along with four other psionic children, but he rarely talks about them or the person who raised him. When his caretaker died a short while after he turned 18, due to mysterious circumstances, he underwent the Augmentation process to further enhance his psionic gift.
 
Skills:
+3 Psionic Amplification
+2 Psionic Endurance
+2 Phazon Gun
+1 Salvaging
+1 Close Combat
+1 Fletchette Gun
 
Abilities:
Psionic Dark Matter Manipulation: The ability to manipulate dark matter using his mind. The ability will grow in strength as he does, allowing a larger variety of uses and applications.

In the Zone: His focus is very difficult to disrupt due to pain, loud noises, bright lights, or other stimuli, within reason. This is an active ability than lasts between 3 and 6 turns and requires an action similar to "taking a breath" to refocus his mind after the active duration, leaving him less effective at doing things for that turn.

Follow-up: He can shift from using his weapons to using his psionic powers and vice-versa. Essentially allows him to use his secondary action for another attack or action, using either his psionic powers if he made a weapon attack or his weapon if he made a psionic attack, so long as he spends his tertiary action to focus on the secondary attack. This means that he cannot use a move secondary action or cover tertiary action when making a second attack.

Combat Knife
Phazon Pistol
2 Phazon Pistol Magazines

[2] Holstering his plasmatic thrower into a scabbard on his back and replacing it with a pistol,  Frunk guides the Marines like sheep towards the elevator, some of them grumble at this, but for the most part they act like a squad of marines, but they loose slight amounts of composure when they get to the point where they are peaking into the Unitarian Armory.


[5] ([5][2])
Eye one and a recently ejected eye two are sent to scout out the side paths in the hall. for three of them, they were little more than maintenance rooms to support the hangar bays shuttle craft. A few choice pieces of equipment have been signaled by salvage men, however.

The Armory that the Brug Engineer came out was a different story.

It appears this was both the emergency and long-term storage armory of the "sector" of the ship. one hundred and seventeen Gyroget guns, six large hammer-like weapons of unknown use,  explosive canisters, ballistic plates. Everything needed for a platoon of men to push off a boarding team, and there is one Guardian banging on a plexiglass window to access some sort of strange Boltgun.

The amount of salvage labeled critical here is simply astounding, and some pieces might be too good not to just leave here.
((Next turn you will be right up against the elevator if you so choose.)

Ognip'Pish barely notes the armory that was opened up by the dead Brug, and walks to the elevator, to the few waiting at the door.

[4]Thunderbolt pulls out an emergency locker from the side and slams it down, making some impromptu cover, while pointing his gun at the door.

[5+1] Guwat has none of that small time stuff, and taps into an electronic piece on the wall a couple times, before what appears to be a server bank extends out of the wall, neatly making a head-high barrier for cover.

The screen interface near the elevator beeps, as the door opens to reveal a squadron of eleven Unitarian personnel, most unarmed, but there is one Brug among them.
[1]
They stare seemingly slack-jawed for a second at the squad.

Orders were to kill or detain any hostile personnel, but it said nothing about engineering or misc. personnel aboard this ship.

[Coolrune206]

"On the ground if you value your life!"

Frunk points his weapon at the new arrivals, and if any of them make grabs at their weapons or does anything aggressive he fires.

((Assuming I'm in range))

[Lenglon]

Armory contents are a priority, am holding position near armory.
Deploy linear rifle and aim at Brug. if it becomes hostile, neutralize it.
Raptor 1 enters armory and executes distracted hostile banging on priority weapon's case.
Deploy all Eye models, scout all hallways and access routes within a short distance of the team and/or armory area.

"Awaiting orders."

Thunderbolt points his shield at the Brug keeping his Snubnose lowered behind his shield, ready to come out firing at first sight of hostility or by the orders of his squad.

[Beirus]

((Ooh, I bet I could bust into that room in the armory with my psionics to get that Boltgun. Or I guess I could use my cutting torch.))

Keep weapons trained on the Brug from cover. If it or the other Unitarian personnel become hostile, shoot them with my guns or squish them with dark matter, whichever is more effective depending on if all of them are hostile or only a few. If the Brug turns hostile and the civvies aren't hostile but are in the way, or if any of them try to alert others, instead use my psionics to "gently" (read: non-lethally and without breaking the elevator) push them to the ground and keep them there so the others have a clear shot and the Unitarians can't call for help.
