Reminder: you are all in Space Suits. Because There's No Air Out There. Be aware that this grants you a couple of bonuses and a couple of maluses.
The most notable positive is the RCS thrusters for ease of mobility.
Teh most obvious negative is: get a hole, lose your air. suffocation, explosive decompression, and the like are more possible and likely, except whe nyou manage to get inside where there is pressurized air.

Strength roll: (5) you brace yourself against the recoil, using the foot of the SpGTi as a support column.

Platoon One Death Rolls(4)(3)(5) KHH takes some damage from (1) focused laser fire. It puntcured your suit! You are moderately wounded! Choose a location for the wound, around which will seal the suit. You have 4/5 air remaining.
Platoon Two: Now with more "Get along shirts"A sergeant comes by, looks you each sternly in the eye, and hands out Gruntship Bracelets from our Dear Departed HC007. He waits for you to put them on, and reminds you that the past is past, and you are the present! you don't know what that means, maybe, but you do know that a deep feeling of shame wells up in your souls. Shame for what? who knows, since the specific events of your last lives are lost to your memory. all you see around you are allies and comrades.

What a solid and implaccable Grunt. You sit in the clawed monstrosity. You wait.
((I didn't include a platoon color because that wasn't an action---it was a question for you I was hoping to get answered before the next turn. Doesn't actually matter, seeing as how all I was going to do is hang on. And, I suppose, squirm really far when he fired at me, in proper dodging-while-in-crash-harness procedure dictates.))
Follow HC008 into whatever transport he finds, stow gear and buckle up.

You climb into the calwed SpGTi and stow your gear. You sit across from Zr, a lost, faraway look in your eye. You hope to mend your fellow gGrunts on this mission, but what did you break? what did you break?

Class: shock trooper
There are no obvious suicidal traitors i the vicinity. You have no clue about the last life's events, really. All you see aound you are fresh, eager cones, ready to fight for the cause. You shrug off the weirdly morbid thoughts and climb into the SpGTi. Additionally, note that your authority extends exactly as far as the two grunts in your fire team. I forget how you came to have shock troopers, and do not remember if that was supposed to carry over. For this life, just take Standard Issue Grunts. I'll happily grant you back the shock troopers later if someone reminds me why they were granted.
Praise Space Melee Jesus and jump to something. Your map doesn't make sense, so I'm not gonna use it.
Preemptively not letting HC on my SpGC, if he's just gonna point guns at me. He can go elsewhere.

Class: Driver (Locked)

Mech (0/9)
You can't preemptively what you don't know will happen, which is fine because it doesn't happen.Anyway, you Glorify and Testify, and Drive. And for lack of a better alternative, you take HC's suggestion and aim your vessel toward Platoon One.

Platoon Three Death RollsYou launch off the little asteroid, straight at the oncoming onslaught! (1) which promptly slides apart in a diamond formation, allowing you to drift between them.
