Hmm. It occurs to me that I haven't discussed artificial gravity in this game yet. SO I'm going to say, for now, that on your home ship, you have no idea how gravity works. On this particular enemy ship however, it works via rotation. You have all slammed into the sides of a ring (not the outside, like where a tire would meet the road, but the side.) This means that down is toward the outside of the ring, and gravity is higher the lower you are.
Platoon 1: (6) you find yourselves in light gravity toward the center of the ring. +1 to move and strength rolls. -1 to dexterity type rolls.
Platoon 2: you are within the normal gravity zone, but on the heavy side, somewhat low on the ring.
Platoon 3: down in the sewers, you are in heavy gravity. -1 to move rolls and feats of strength.

Make sure the way into the pierced ship is clear, then motion for others to go in ahead of me. Don't go in until everyone else has gone. If something would prevent them from going in, other than the presence of others in the way or their own death, pull them in with me.

(1) The ship is your enemy. You punch the ship. it clangs. your fist is bruised.
Platoon 1 Death rollI don't know what to do. A platoon, acting in an orderly and cooperative manner? This ... this doesn't happen. The Oficers on high weep silent tears of joy, knowing, as they do, from across the Void, that you all make it into the room in one piece each, and as a team. You get a +1 on your next collective death roll. Collective, mind you, meaning a death roll that affects the whole platoon, not individual attacks.
Anyway, you all climb through the iris and drop onto the floor a couple feet down. The air is leaving this room, through your broken Dart. Yellow Pressurization lights are flashing. (6) You all rush out into the next corridor and the last one through slams the airlock button, sealing off the depressurized room. Since that was a six, you guys rush into a hall filled with The Other Guys
TM. Lucky you, time to kill!
Platoon 2"Suffication is bad, time for cut! Don't stand near!"
Set explosive charge to open a way to air!
Platoon: 2

Status: Serious Wound, Suffocating (0/3)
Inventory: helmet, las carbine, backpack, cherry flavored sawdust resin perfectly disguised as standard-issue imitation artificial chewing resin substitute
Deaths: 0
Kills: 0/0/0
(4) you set the charge with the big red arrows pointing toward the door, as per the instructions. You then step to the side, and pull the cord, and the door makes a coule quick bang sounds, then falls forward into the hall.
Head to destination, hopefully there's some more air there.
Platoon 2:
Designation: NL001
Class: Grunt
Status: Serious Wound, Minor Wound, Suffocating (0/3)
Inventory: Helmet, Imitation Artificial Chewing Resin Substitute
(3) you run through the recently opened door, and down the hall.
Heads to the destination carefully trying to not be spotted by the enemies if there would be any nearby
Platoon: 2
Designation: Pzf001
Class: Grunt
Status: Serious Wounds, Suffocation (0/3)
inventory: helmet,
(5 )you leap out and lead the way, rushing throug hseveral sets of doors, down two flights of stairs, and along another, silent corridor. You come up short at an intersection, and consult your HUD. Left is the destination, just ahead. "Let's go, guys," you say to the thin air beside you.
Keep running to the destination, drop-kicking any closed door in my path. Override tools are for losers! (and/or guys who didn't break them in the Dart)
Platoon: 2
Designation: Fel001
Class: Grunt
Status: Serious Wound, Suffocating (0/3)
Inventory: Helmet
(4) you run down the hall, and through two sets of doors. You are nearing the first set of stairs toward the destination.
Stay out of OcE007's blast zone.
Platoon:2
Designation: Zr001
Class: Grunt
Status: Serious Wound, Suffocating(0/3)
inventory: Helmet, laser carbine, backpack, and Imitation Artificial Chewing Resin Substitute
You and OCe007 get hte door open and watch your more gung-ho squadmates rush headong into the unknown. well, meatshields are useful too, right?
Platoon 2 Death rolls(5)(2)(2)(3)(5)
The two of you who remained behind step through the blasted doorway and trigger the emergency airlock, which seals immediately behind you.
NL and Fel are shot at from the stairwell - looks like some enemies came through just after Pzf went through.
NL is maimed, and Fel is seriously wounded (which combines with his other serious wound into a maim).
Meanwhile Pzf is shot from behind and is also maimed. Not to mention, cut off from his allies.
Platoon 3Fuck that, rebreathers are for sissies. fire a bolt at the slime/encrouching sewage so it sets on fire and goes away.
Platoon: 3
Designation: BLD002
Class: Grunt
Status: Healthy [utterly terrified.]
Inventory: helmet, laser carbine, backpack, 1 Imitation Artificial Chewing Resin Substitute, and a note denoting proper methods of dying in a pretty manner.
... Okay, let's do that, then. (2) you miss. Well, I was hoping, for sure.
Put on the goggles and rebreather, along with the backpack, and take my laser carbine. Leave the Dart, and dredge through the slime, examining the area.
"If I die, take my chewing resin!"
Platoon: 3
Designation: sev002
Class: Grunt

((OOC: Are we unofficial quote eqyptians?))
(BLD SAYS NO.))
(6) you wade through the gap and fall into the room. Lucky you, you are outside of the sewage tank itself, though the sewage is leaking into this room as well. You look about and see that the room is rather large, and contains six massive tanks arrayed in two lines. The floor is a metal grate, and below that is a rough metal floor, about three feet down. the whole look ofthe place suggests that sewage spills in here are common. Now, you rolled a six, so you get a side effect of your success. I confess I was a bit stumped about that, but your friend one post up yields a perfect effect. You get a friendly fire death roll! yay! (3) chose either a serious wound, or the loss of a piece of equipment (rifle, backpack, helmet.)
Put on a rebriever and loot the dead guy's stuff and my stuff (even the ruined gun)
Platoon: platoon 3
Designation: FKD002 (SPZ002)
Class: Grunt
Status: minor wounds
Inventory: helmet, laser carbine (destroyed), backpack, strawberry flavored ham scraping composite
Kills: Heh
a worthy endeavor. (3) you now have two torn backpacks, and a few broken carbine bits. You have to carry these in hand, so you are somewhat limited in your actions.
Platoon: 3
Designation: Zii002
Class: Grunt
Status: Healthy.
Inventory: Helmet, Laser Carbine, Backpack (lunch (Egg Sandwich), extra socks, the Empire's Military Handbook, re-breathers and goggles), Imitation Artificial Chewing Resin Substitute.
Put the rebreathers and googles. Get out of the Dart and search for a door or way to the target
(4)you follow sev into the sewage room.
Can I join? is this sheet ok?

You can, and it is. Welcome to Space Hell, Grunt!
you are now with platoon 3. you are in a dart rapidly filling with sewage, and rapidly emptying of teammates. Except the crazy guy shooting the shit. That guy is still there. Laughing his ass off. And shooting a laser at the sewage. And missing.
Platoon 3 Death rollsmhm. We'll have two rolls. First, how much does the Dart fill with sewage this round? (5) not much. Still only knee high or so.
Second, is anyone guarding this place? anyone armed? (5) You see and hear no one besides yourselves.
Instructions for next round:Respawn: No one died, so no respawn this round.
Newbies, pick a platoon and post your action in that color, as if you are with that group already.
Platoon 1(5) Your HUDs indicate a worthy target indeed! You are heading for Command! (6) In fact, you are just outside one of the major security checkpoints heading into command. Lucky you, you already hear laser fire, shouting, and explosions! Why, that sounds like higher level Grunts! Soldiers, Shooters, Demolitions guys, Heavy Weapons dudes! You are in the thick of it now, fellas! Your objective is to support the Higher level squad. unfortunately, you are in a position directly between said squad and squad's target.
Platoon 2you are spread out between your objective and your starting point. Four of you are on the floor yo ustarted on, and one of you is down below, cut off from the rest of you by a squad of The Other Guys
TM. Kill and regroup.
Platoon 3Glub Glub motherfuckers.
